How can you appreciate Queen's versatility and how they played many styles of music? Really, have you heard other artists doing those styles in order to compare and appreciate?
I'm sure you think that Innuendo has the best Spanish guitar ever, Love of my life is the ultimate ballad, Bohemian Rhapsody is better than Verdi and Wagner together (I don't think you know them, btw) and Body Language is better than everything on Thriller.
Yes, they incorporated varied styles in their music and the mix was great and successful, but I don't think you can appreciate the differences if you haven't actually listened and enjoyed other music.
"Queen plays every genre, I don't need to listen to other bands!"
I used to say that, when I was 10.

All the flaming and insulting apart, I am genuinely interested in knowing which other bands do you listen to.
I know you like heavy/death metal. Any band that I might know of?
It would be cool to know which are your 10 favourite non-Queen related songs of all time. Do you feel like disclosing that info?

JCW

Beatles/solo albums have sold 1.5 billion copies worldwide, which makes them the best selling artists in the history of popular music, by far. They are easily the most important entertainers of the last 100 years. They paved the way for virtually everything in and related to the genres of rock and pop that came after them. If you cannot at least appreciate their innovation and acknowledge their influence, then you are a complete moron... and in your language... that is a FACT.
As for Freddie... honestly, if the majority of people within a Queen forum think you're out to lunch for posting the things you post, then imagine what people in the outside world must think of you when you discuss music with them.
However, that list of 10 songs you posted above... not bad! At least you seem to have some taste and understanding of other music.

the thing with beatles is that they are more about hype than actual talent, i mean i listened to their songs and its nothing special at all, actually very amateurish. There is NOTHING special with them at all besides that they were early. Queen is in FACT billion times better AND more talented, that cant be discussed, its a fact. If they were better musicians than my band i would admit it but they arent,they are just hype.

...in your opinion. Maybe one day you'll realize the difference between facts and your opinions.
But honestly, if you are genuinely convinced that the instrumental arrangements and George Martin's production (especially on albums like Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road) were "amateurish", then you are all but a lost cause.
[QUOTE]Queen is in FACT billion times better AND more talented, that cant be discussed, its a fact.[/QUOTE]
These things CAN be discussed. It's called art. Tastes in art are subject to one's opinions.
If you can't see that McCartney was a brilliant bassist and Harrison a unique and influential guitarist, then that's your own fault. That said, it's not all about technical ability. If that was the case, then the Sex Pistols wouldn't have sold any records, and Shawn Lane would be the best guitarist ever.
[QUOTE]If they were better musicians than my band i would admit it but they arent,they are just hype.[/QUOTE]
The Beatles weren't the greatest musicians ever, but they wrote great songs that have been cherished by billions. After your band achieves platinum status, then you can start comparing your band to The Beatles. I have seen plenty of conceited musicians in my day, but you are by far the worst of them all. Even the dullest of wits wouldn't dare compare themselves in any way to The Beatles.
You're one of the few people in the civilized world who isn't able to recognize the simple and complex beauties of The Beatles, which of course is okay, since you're entitled to your opinion. But to say they were all hype and no talent is pretty much the stupidest thing someone can say, especially since you're a budding musician - who should be respecting his peers, not saying that everyone (besides Queen) is worse than his band. If you think music is purely about what are and aren't facts, then become a music historian and stay the hell out of the playing district... not that you're going to get anywhere, anyway. Seriously, how far has your arrogant attitude gotten you so far?

Sure, Queen were the best band at Live Aid. But in the grand scheme of things, there are many shows that were far more groundbreaking - like Jimi Hendrix's performance at the Monterrey festival in '67.
I agree with anyone who says Queen were one of rock's all time great bands, but many other bands and artists accomplished just as much as they did, if not more. Your view of music just doesn't seem to include the accomplishments of others, and it's your own fault if you can't acknowledge that.

I dont care how they influenced others, as i said its more about them being early and hype than actual talent. The songs are pretty boring and amateur like. Only song that was pretty good was "yesterday" from the ones i heard.
Nothing in the world can change my view that Queen is million times better band and more talented, and that goes for all the bands that exists.

Lester: You know a lot about Queen, so I would take your opinion as pretty much FACT.
But Treasure Moment seems to be opening our ears to music in a way that is frankly alarming. I find myself digging out old albums that I thought I'd never listen to again:
Steve Perry's 2nd solo album. Re-worked and re-hashed, and finally released after four painful attempts, it still only had one real good song on it: You Better Wait. Great song, very Perry, but the rest of it was just plain horrible.
Treasure Moment bridges that gap for me. Now I think "For The Love Of Strange Medicine" is a really really good album... AND I CAN PROVE IT!!
Simply listen to the first Treasure Moment releases exactly 6 times each while consuming mass amounts of bad Scotch. THEN put on the Perry cut. Fricking amazing.
