Good for you. It's great that such generosity towards crap bands, bad songs and weak singers still exists in today's harsh climate of fear and economic turmoil. What other charities do you support?

this drives me mad. do you know what you´re talking about?
the dexys first lp "searching for the young soul rebel" is a real classic.
i am pretty sure you have never heared it and judge the band for the played to death "come on eileen".
a lot of people don´t take queen serious because they only know their "played to death" stuff like wwry, watc, rgg, iwtbf, akom, br, the same idiots.
now eat this:
television- marquee moon
love- forever changes
scott walker- 4
beatles- sgt pepper
nick drake- all 3 lps
jesus and mary chain - psychocandy
steely dan -gaucho
pink floyd- piper at the gates of dawn
big star- sisters lovers
carole king- tapestry
young marble giants- colossale youth
my bloody valentine- isn´t anything
gene clark- no other
television personalities- and don´t the kids just love it
joy division-unknown pleasure
captain beefheart- safe as milk
can- tago mago
harmonia- musik von
ornette coleman- the shape of jazz to come
wire- pink flag
and the ones i forgot...
no queen in it?? shit i forgot

Hey I´m a queen anorak - it´s true, that´s why I´m here. I think you´ll find people here with 10 or 15 queen albums in their 20 if they are honest...and more power to them - you like what you like.
