Astor Reinhardt | 199 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 9 for me. I don't really have a favorite artist...to me that would mean I love all their songs and I don't really love all of someones songs...like Queen, I really dislike Fat Bottomed Girls for example.

AstralSoul | 502 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Easy 9/10. I would've given a 10 but they're not one of my absolute favorite bands. But they are incredibly good and deserve a high score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap123 | 112 Subscriber T1 · Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 9/10. I was a big Queen fan growing up but I haven't listened to them a huge amount this century. That said, I watched the movie Bohemiam Rhapsody on a flight this week and it blew me away. I can highly recommend it to any Queen fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glazball | 168 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Voted 9/10 as well. Certainly one of the best rock bands the world has ever seen and all are incredibly talented. That said, Queen did have a few stinkers in their catalog. Some would even argue whole albums are stinkers (usually the wildly-different Hot Space). I can't claim to be their hugest fan by any stretch, but I have and treasure all their albums. Freddie was an incredible singer, clever songwriter and overall badass. Brian May is a damn genius; after playing in one of the greatest bands of all time, he goes back to school to finish a PhD in Astrophysics. Amazing!

MachineCode | 159 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 While I don’t like everything they’ve done, they are undeniably one of the most talented groups of musicians to ever form a rock band. Watch the Montreal ‘81 concert video to see a masterclass in how it’s done. Literally every member of that band just kills it both instrumentally and vocally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trj22487 | 350 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) While I've never had a massive Queen faze myself and mainly just know their big hits, there was a time where I did quite a bit of my own research on the upbringing and childhood of Farrokh Bulsara and was blown away to discover what a child prodigy he was musically, I'd never really heard much of how talented he was as a child, only knew of his work as a superstar, and I never knew about the environment he grew up in. I'll always associate 'Another One Bites The Dust' with Michael Jordan because the Chicago Bulls always used it as their victory song. It was particularly insulting to the other team when the PA would play the song before the game even ended. I'm also in the camp that thinks We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions are the same song. You absolutely can't have one without the other, and you can't play them in the reverse order. Edited November 19, 2019 by trj22487 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarzombie | 924 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Im not a huge fan, but one of the greatest front men/singers of all time paired with an incredibly smart and interesting guitar player. They also played the greatest concert of all time at '85 wembly. I always thought of them as the Beatles with more talent in playing their instruments but a little less in the songwriting. Not a bad thing! But not too many bands I can think of who's songs are so eclectic like the Beatles. Thats REALLY, REALLY tough to do. Also Brian May has one of the greatest pinch harmonics in guitar history in "We Are The Champions".

bag | 58 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Whenever any conversation goes to greatest/best singers. For me, it always begins and ends with Freddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bullshit, just pure talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
