Muse and Radiohead - The same?

This is inspired by a comment in the Flaming Lips thread about Radiohead and Muse sounding the same and that Muse are a poor man's Radiohead.
This is my argument:
I have all albums from both bands and the fact is Muse, for a majority of the time, are based on energy and catchy riffs, yes they have become a bit more alt. and moved away from their rock roots with 'Absolution' but underneath they are still the same, whilst Radiohead alot of the time are based on melodies and lyrics in my eyes. They have a karma about them that Muse don't, also Radiohead, again in my eyes, are alot more experimental and 'alt.' than Muse, I mean look at the other stuff they have done outside the band, Greendwood for example wrote a whole soundtrack for a movie and the whole band messed around with samples and such for a ballet to dance to.

anyways I have other points but Im too tired...
