Better, no, that's purely down to opinion. But Muse being bigger you almost certainly could justify, due to the sheer volume of album sales and the size of their tours and international appeal. You have to be delusional to think Radiohead are bigger in that respect. How big you are has nothing to do with how long in the tooth you are or, alas, music quality.

According to Wikipedia Radiohead have sold 30 million records, Muse 20 million.  Radiohead have been going slightly longer and have sold slightly more records.  Ergo, they're about the same size.  It's not daft or laughable to suggest one is bigger than the other, just pointless.

They both have massive cocks. I don't think anyone can deny that, regardless of whether or not you like their music. 

Agreed

Two average bands are fairly popular.  One, both or neither might play Glastonbury.

You just don't see Radiohead putting out tunes like this

 

 

There's not a lot wrong with Exogenesis.

It shouldn't be on that album though. It's a baffling end to a baffling album. It's the last Muse album to have a good song on it.

Surely it's not pointless, any headliner has to be 'big enough' to attract enough people to reasonably fill the Pyramid stage, so size is as ever important. 

Not sure either act would guarantee a huge crowd, Muse because they put on an amazing show but their newer music is awful, Radiohead because they're absolute quality, however is there a danger they won't play a crowd-pleasing set, being more self-indulgent.

It's pointless debating which is bigger, not that either is big enough.

I think bringing up a 23-year-old song that the band have disowned in a discussion about which band is bigger today says it all.

And Creep wasn't absolutely massive. It made no. 7 and got a lot of radio / MTV play, but even in 1994, Radiohead were still only mid-afternoon on the NME stage.

Creep is quite simply the most important song ever written. Followed by Happy Birthday.

Creep blasting out on the Pyramid stage, cider in hand.

The fact that Creep has never been blasted out the Pyramid stage is a travesty.
