Really great, but they had a fair share of stinkers.
pleb but underrated

Incredibly overrated but once in a blue moon they had an alright song.
They were talented, but I always felt their sound was much too grandiose and polished without ever holding much substance. Just my opinion
Freddie was god-tier frontman 2bh

Great, but their fanbase if awful. Most of them only have Greatest Hits and don't even know most of their proper albums. I think their best songs were deep cuts.
Talented but I really have no interest.
Abba were better.

>>61413438

>Not knowing what deep cuts means
Troll or you haven't been here very long and like to throw buzzwords
Not particularly pleb nor patrician. Leaning towards patrician, but plebier than David Bowie.
Bohemian Rhapsody is prog. rock in it's purest form despite being overplayed as fuck.
Into the trash it goes
Bohemian Rhapsody is probably the weirdest radio hit of all time
>>61413290
Talented as hell, obviously. You can tell the people who've listened to their records apart from those that haven't depending on if they say they're good or not.
>>61413290
One other thing; people who unironically adhere to a pleb/patrician dichotomy are not worth your time.

I've listened to their records and acknowledge their talent, but I'm just not a fan of their overall sound. It always felt like they were trying to be grand and operatic, but most of it comes off as being somewhat shallow.
That being said, I love Innuendo because it's probably their best use of that aesthetic
i like flash gordon
like, really, i think it's prob their best work

You don't have to be a fan, and of course, most of their music was incredibly calculated and show-biz, aside from a select few confessional Mercury ballads.

Yup
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.
Queen and Queen II were pretty good albums

It's like their first three albums with their six and a half minute songs completely devoid of choruses don't even exist.
