Here we go...a full list...

Total Guitar readers voted Bellamy 29th on a list of the top 100 guitarists.[7] In 2004, Muse won "Best Album" for Absolution at the Kerrang! Awards.[8]

Bellamy's riff from "Plug In Baby" was 13th in Total Guitar's poll of the Top 100 Riffs above riffs such as Cream's Sunshine of Your Love.[9] This riff was also mentioned among the best-ever riffs in Q magazine's Rock and Pop Miscellany. As well as this, the riff for "Stockholm Syndrome" was voted the greatest riff ever by Australian radio station Triple J's Top 100 Riffs of all time, above Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and other iconic riffs. "Plug In Baby" made the top 20.

In March 2007, Total Guitar published "The 100 Greatest Riffs", which included three Muse songs; "Supermassive Black Hole" at #93, "Knights of Cydonia" at #21 and "Plug In Baby" at #8.

In the 2007 Reader Awards issue of Total Guitar Magazine, the Invincible solo from Black Holes and Revelations won the solo of the year category.

In April 2005, Kerrang! magazine ranked him #28 in their "50 Sexiest People In Rock" poll but following an influx of letters to Kerrang!, they changed their decision and ranked him #1 in their unofficial 2008 poll, Cosmopolitan also chose him as the sexiest rocker of 2003 and 2004. NME Magazine voted him the 14th Greatest Rock'n'roll Hero of all time, beating Lennon, Dylan and many musical greats. Bellamy also won the Sexiest Male Award at the 2007 NME Awards [10], beating the likes of Carl Bar?t and Pete Doherty to the top spot.

In 2006, the Muse album Black Holes and Revelations was voted "Album of the Year" by Planet Rock magazine. In the same year, Muse won "Best British Band" at the Kerrang! Awards.[11]

September 2007's issue of Q Magazine announced Matt Bellamy as a Guitar Hero. On October 1, 2007, Matthew and Muse won 2 EMA Awards in Munich for Best Group in the UK and Ireland and their live performance.[12] Also in October 2007 they came top of the MTV2 top 100 British videos, with "Plug in Baby".

In January 2008, "Knights of Cydonia" was voted the number one song of 2007 in the worlds biggest music poll with over 700,000 votes.
