'Muse' and 'Sleep' are both bands. This really confused me.

They collect your data when you listen to them

Yeah, well, joke’s on them! I’m collecting data on them about what kind of songs they write and perform!!

There are some muse songs I really like, and they are my biggest guilty pleasures. Why am I so ashamed of liking them? (Time is Running Out, Knights of Cydonia)

Why would you be ashamed of liking knights of Cydonia for example? Ain't it widely recognized as a great song?

I think it's recognized as, at least, catchy.

I personally think I shouldn't be ashamed of liking either of these songs, they are good songs. Socially, though, they were a bit embarrassing. Too dramatic, probably. Not ironic enough.
