All memes and >reddit aside, why do you dislike Queen?

They're aight.
Some pretty good songs, freddy mercury is a good singer, just not legends in my book.
they're cheesy
Here's the thing about Freddie. The man had some serious pipes. He had a 4 octave range and he excelled in any octave. He wrote brilliant songs. And his stage presence was only matched by Adolf Hitler. Seriously, watch them play Radio Gaga at Live Aid and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We had better thank our lucky stars Freddie didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world. But Queen as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Freddie Mercury backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Queen what it is. Yes, Freddie wrore Somebody to Love, Killer Queen, and Bohemian Rhapsody, but Brian May wrote We Will Rock You, Save Me, and Fat Bottom Girls, John Deacon wrote I Want to Break Free, Another One Bites the Dust, and You're my Best Friend, and Roger Taylor wrote Radio Gaga and It's a Kind of Magic. Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Queen was this perfect storm of legendary talent, and Freddie was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae. He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of combo that was Queen to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Roger, Brian, and John, and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow our minds out through our ear holes. Yes, he was the most incredible front man who ever lived, hands down.
We don't. This board is okay with Queen.

Queen is great when you're drunk. A lot of pop music is.

Yeah Freddie was cool but he can't compare to Patton
Here's the thing about Mike. The man has some serious pipes. He has a six octave range and excelled in any octave. He writes brilliant songs. And his stage presence is only matched by Adolf Hitler.
Seriously, Watch Mr. Bungle play What the World needs now at Bizarre Festival and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We better thank our lucky stars Mike didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world.
But Mr. Bungle as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Mike Patton backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Bungle what it is. Yes Mike wrote Girls of Porn, Sweet Charity and The Air conditioned Nightmare.
But Trevor Dunn wrote Retrovertigo, The holy Filament and Phlegmatics. Trey Spruance wrote Desert Search for Techno Allah, None of them know they were robots, Golem II the bionic vapour boy.
Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Mr. Bungle was the perfect storm of legendary talent, and Mike was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae.
He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of the combo that was Mr. Bungle to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Trevor, Trey, Heifietz and Mckinnon and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow out minds out through our ear holes.
Yes, he is the most incredible front man who has ever lived, hands down.

Queen, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, and Innuendo are fucking great albums.
>>61357203
The music bores me (maybe better to say that I just feel absolutely nothing when I hear it) and I don't like Freddie's voice. I know it can be impossible to have a disussion around here, but those are perfectly good reasons not to like something in real life.
i dont like it because it doesnt make me feel anything besides maybe that it sounds cheesy as fuck and not aged well
>>61357203
I don't, Queen II, A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races are huge records for me.
They're mostly a fun pop band that throw in some elements of prog and classical music.
They, like most dadrock groups, get their claim from a bunch of hits rather than their full albums, which they deserve a lot more credit for. They just happened to be catchy tune writers.
Either White Queen, '39, or You Take my Breath Away are probably my favorite tracks by them.

This. They have some good songs but their albums are pretty mediocre.
Yep, cheesy, overly theatrical music, I see little value in their songwriting, under pressure had a good bassline, other than that, music for fagtrons
>>61357252
this. They're alright if you're in the mood but get annoying fast.
>>61357252
The Beatles are cheesier than Queen. Doesn't make them bad desu
I like their popular songs but don't wanna listen to a full album
