Muse is definitely alternative-rock, but they're very darkly classical sounding. The front man was OBVIOUSLY classical music trained before he went rock. There's some great piano in there, as well as some good strong rock songs. I don't think you can really go wrong with any of their stuff, but my favorites are: Hysteria, Butterflies and Hurricaines, Falling Away With You, Stockholm Syndrome, and Thoughts of a Dying Athiest (not to mention their huge single Time is Running Out).
Death Cab is kind of the same for me, by the way. I only have about 4-5 songs by them that I really know *well*, but pretty much all of them I obsess over. LOL. They'd be: Tiny Vessels, A Movie Script Ending, The Sound of Settling, Photobooth, and A Lack of Color. I like them and recommend them. I have a bunch more downloaded, but I haven't fallen in love with any others - yet ;) When I get bored with my music I go through them and find something new ;)
