Muse fans named music's most committed fanbase in new poll
Muse fans beat Bieber and 1D fans by huge margin
- Henry George: Some bands are influenced by The Beatles. Many by The Rolling Stones. Others just quite like Britpop. Muse take a huge influence from 19th century political theorist, who is credited as being the most ''influential proponent of the land value tax in the 1800s, as well as his outspoken views on free trade, Chinese immigration and many more political issues.

Gigwise readers, and no doubt a few Muse fans themselves, have named fans of the Westcountry trio the most committed fanbase in music.
In a recent Gigwise poll, Muse topped the poll with a clear majority, beating pop favourites such as Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Rihanna, One Direction and many more to prove that rock and roll fans are more dedicated to their favourite band than pop devotees.
The announcement follows a recent flurry of excitement for Muse, whose Olympics track 'Survival' was recently premiered and whose October shows were also recently named the most eagerly awaited shows of 2012 by Gigwise readers.
Paramore and Lady Gaga share joint second place in the poll, with 30 Seconds To Mars placing fourth and Radiohead fifth.
The least committed fans in music were named at the Beliebers, as Justin Bieber's fans placed at the bottom of the poll. Taking bottom place only just ahead of One Direction, Nicki Minaj, Jessie J and Aiden Grimshaw. All of whom also scored poorly in the hardcore fan poll.
The poll is still open, so if you disagree with these results, cast your vote now.
