I’ve never gotten the love for the band Queen


They had a few good songs, and a Freddy had an operatic voice, but I don’t get chills or even much enjoyment.

I’ve seen Queen the musical and the movie.

I’ve even worked a Queen concert.

I just don’t get the hype. The Beatles is a hyped band where I get the love. Their songs are magical.

It's a band for old white men, the kind of thing your dad would love.

I can't stand them.

They're not really my favorite band, but I do like some of their songs and understand why they became so successful.

Freddy Mercury was really an awesome performer too. One of those stars, who had to die too soon.

Songs of theirs I really like:

Bohemian Rhapsody
Another One Bites The Dust
We Are the Champions

I would have picked "We will rock you" instead of "We are the champions". But still, nice list!

This is one of their songs that isn’t talked about often that I’ve always liked. Check out Freddie starting at 2:34.

I'm opposite to your opinion. I've never understood the hype for The Beatles. I like a few of their songs but yeah.

I really like Freddie's voice and think there are few who can compare.

I agree with Queen today is more of a tribute. I love Adam Lambert's voice, but he doesn't try to copy Freddie, because he isn't Freddie. He's even said that he had no interest in recording new music with them because it would no longer be Queen. That's why it's Queen with Adam Lambert and not just Queen.

I appreciate that you aren't a fan. There are many music groups out there that I don't get the popularity of.
