Queen rated 3rd best rock band of all time

PARADE MAGAZINE - TOP 10 ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME
Queen come in at No 3 in Parade Magazine's Top 10 Rock Bands of All Time - the result of a reent of Facebook poll.
Parade says:
We asked our Facebook fans to tell us the best rock bands of all time. Here are the 10 groups that received the most votes in our unscientific poll."

TOP 10 ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME
1 - The Beatles
2 - Led Zeppelin
3 - Queen
Trying to place Queen in one genre is impossible. This English band, formed in 1971, encompassed the sounds of vaudeville and heavy metal, and brought them together in perfect balance with theatrical extravagance and camp. With a unique sound and magnetic stage presence, few could argue Queen doesn't belong on this list.

4 - The Cars
5 - Heart
6 - Green Day
7 - Journey
8 - Santana
9 - Rolling Stones
10 - Motley Crue

personally i would say that they are better than Zeppelin and The Beatles but each to their own i guess

Guns n roses (before axles ego took over)  shoudl be in the top 10 though

Numbers 4 to 8 are nonsense. Where's Deep Purple? Where's the Doors? Where's Guns N' Roses?

Master Marathon Runner

1 to 3 are good, though I Usually put queen at about 6 or 7th.... Behind the beatles, stones, zep, the who, hendrix. then we're talking Queen/floyd,,  The doors, Rush,  Sabbath, ECT....... Guns and roses doen't belong in the top 10 or 20 or 30 IMO.   I hate the stones, but We must give them credit for doing what they did.  Becoming the untlimate rock n roll band in many people's eye's.

Awesome!

Queen rubbing shoulders with Led Zeppelin and The Beatles?

I'll take that, gladly!

awwww, queen by led zeppelin and the beatles, guess thats ok :P
still think they should have been first though!
they stayed together longer than the beatles! (yes lennon died but also did freddie but still they live as queen without a deacon due to a retirement)

ummm... beatles disbanded in 1969...lennon died in 1980

Rush and Dire Straits should be atleast in the top 20.
