Tie them up and play Adam Lambert's new single to them. On repeat. They'll cave eventually. If not try the Cheeky Girls. Sure fire success. Oh and please do keep us updated.

they're not on it because they never existed. It's all just a figment of our imaginations, dear Angeline. We all made Freddie up because the American Americans at RS wouldn't know good music if it bit them on the testicles. But we know better. It is is annoying but we should learn to understand, accept and move on....or just kill them. Whatever takes your fancy!

The problem is that the U.S. is one giant homophobic country. You can't imagine how many people I've introduced Queen to. Some have embraced cd compilations that I have given them and have thoroughly enjoyed Queen's versatility. They had never heard Las Palabras or Love of my Life. They glow after listening. Warms my heart.
Then, there are the others who can't get past the name, stadium rock, and Freddie. They flat out refuse to listen to anything beyond what they are used to listening to in the sports arenas. I try to enlighten them by sending them links to Rock Montreal, Live Aid, Wembley etc., but they are beyond rescue. Sadly, their brains are toast. They'll never get it, just like Rolling Stone.

That's interesting.
USA liked Freddie-ballerina wearing frocks and leotards in 70, but disliked Freddie wearing jeans (ok, IWTBF) in 80s. :)

They've never been the darlings of critics, but any rethinking the musical intelligencia might have been flirting with in later years has surely been mostly quieted once again.

Is this a funny reference to Five, Robbie Williams, American Idol and the X Factor? If so, i'm tickled!

Don't forget those damn Muppets! :)
It's worth noting that RS includes Mercury and May in their Greatest Singers and Greatest Guitarists lists. So the absence of Queen is even odder in it's way, unless of course the magazine thinks Roger and John really, really, [i]really [/i]suck.

Rolling Stone always had it in for Queen every since Roger Taylor wrote a letter to the editor. Since then, RS was so bias against Queen, and seems like still to this day.
P.S. Thanks for that letter...I hadn't seen it before!
