Chris, awesome job on "words that rhyme with poo". Next week we'll work on the units "dealing constructively with criticism" and "coherence is cool".

Never liked Friends Will Be Friends - but I don't find any song embarrassing to listen to - if I don't like it, I won't listen to it - life's too short.

God, it's awful. I'm so glad it didn't end up on the Innuendo album.

jay-z? i don't even know who he is to be honest.
i love some ballads, and i like sentimentality in a song, i like sad songs, they are probably the best, but not when they are utter shit. i think that roger had a bad day and wrote a fucking awful song on that particular day, thats all. maybe the worst song he's ever written, i can't stand the thing. can't handle that someone doesn't like the same songs as you? get a backbone for st.freddie's sake. go have a wank over a picture of that deity freddie mercury, you know you really want to, you could imagine licking his enormous teeth. well i call them gravestones, god they're big, and fuck me they are awful.
this is a really bad forum. nothing fucking works for starters, everyone is so friendly, and you're all wankers. most of you were not around when queen started releasing stuff, fake fans who love the singles. i don't think torres will come good either. shame abut the space shuttle, still its done its work, especially when it blew all those people to mince meat i stuck my finger up a woodpeckers hole, and the woodpecker said, cor bless my soul, take it out, take it out, take it out, remove it. that is sung with this tune: the music from roger's tour de force, 'oh freddie you were a bummer who gave ridiculous interviews darling, couldn't even be honest and drop the facade. 33 degrees and counting on liverpool or everton's arsehole.1 2 3.
cro cop isn't like he used to be, is he? dicky, dicky, dido. the hairs on her dicky dido hung down to her knees, old wartime song there. all together now. cough, cough, vomit. do any of the males here like females? nah, didn't think so. i have to tell you that i've been here as a spy, checking out the opposition. actually not much to worry about, what a joke. headless chickens. christchurch, christchurch, why did you shake? still nzs nickname is the arsehole of the world, the wannabe australians, go on the red, don't get burnt, wash you hair on your dicky dido.

a lesson to be learned from a thread like this is everyone has different opinions, and there is no truly bad songs, unless every single person agree's it's bad. I think fun it and more of that jazz and a lot of other roger's stuff is pretty bad, but i'm sure a few people out there think "don't lose your head" is great. Or fun it is groovy. Some think the first great queen album is Sheer heart attack, while other's think the very first album was their best. Some people can't stand Queen2 but love Hot Space. We could argue until we're old and gray, I still don't know how anyone could not like "these are the day's" and "the show must go on" or My Melancholy blues but some people don't like Bo Rhap or the Beatles either. No matter how great something is somebody will hate it. when I tell people I don't like the stones people look at me like I have 3 heads. " How can you not like the stones?" they ask me.

I think it's important to be able to explain, rationally and coherently, what you think about a song, album or release. Whether you love it or hate it, *how* we go about justifying it is what I find interesting.
The reasons I like a song could be exactly the reason another fan hates it. It all breaks down when it gets personal or utterly ridiculous ("Anyone who likes 'Body Language' deserves to be shot!" for example). We also need, collectively, to concede that even if a song is universally considered "bad," some fans can still like it, knowing its not very good, and that enjoying it doesn't mean anything they say is invalidated. The reasons we like or dislike something don't often coincide neatly with our intellectual view of the world. Some songs remind us of a time and place in our lives, so it's less about the song than the memories or feelings we associate with it.

rhyeking...excellent post...superb insight.
That's why I don't care what anyone says...I love Body Language! And I love Fun It , too...in fact it's one of my favorite songs from Jazz.

Thanks, PrimeJive!
I was born in 1976, grow up in the '80s and discovered Queen and classic Rock in the '90s, rejecting most "Alternative" music, Rap and dance music. Those genres held no truth for me. My life wasn't angst-ridden or somber, even in my teens. Sure, I fought with my parents and siblings, hated going to school some days, but all in all I came from a stable household and wanted for nothing in my middle-class upbringing. I gravitated towards the music of the '60s and '70s because I was working with adults in theatre and that's what they listened to. Mike Oldfield, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Meat Loaf, Rush, all of it spoke to me in a way that Pearl Jam and Nirvana couldn't. I just could not relate to "Jeremy" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit." I wanted to tell my peers to lighten up. I did get into Barenaked Ladies, being so close to Toronto and years before they broke through in the US, because they were having fun, much like classic rock bands. I never got the sense that Queen was always 100% serious in their lyrics and their view of themselves. Yes, they took their musicianship seriously, but they weren't on some holy mission to change the world. They wrote songs with heavy ideas and songs of pure whimsy, and songs that just celebrated being alive or in love. All of that appealed to me and still does.
They showed me I didn't have to reject styles like disco and funk, having grown up hearing "disco is evil!" I was more open to synth-dominant '80s music because I grew up listening to it on the radio. There was nothing "bad" about it. It was just one sound among many. So "Radio Ga Ga" was and is just a song. And they challenged me with musical ideas I'd never considered: songs about ogres and fairies and kings and queens. And they weren't the only ones. Zeppelin and Rush covered the same territory (LZ being a pioneer). Mike Oldfield and Pink Floyd created massive musical landscapes, colourful, vibrant and sweeping.
Ultimately, I learned that many of the things I rejected about music as a kid simply came from outside influences, like "disco is bad," "love songs are wimpy," "if it's not popular right now, it's not worth listening to." I took some flak in my teens for listening to what my peers called "old fogie music." But by then, I was looking inward for guidance, challenging myself with whatever I was exposed to, even the music of my peers. I found some of it did speak to me, once I let go of my ego a little.
In the end, there are still genres and styles which don't have an affect on me and some which I flat out don't like. Most of what I don't like is superficial music or corporate-driven stars aimed at young adults. Obviously, I'm not the target audience for Lady Ga Ga or Justin Beiber. I'm also not the target audience for Hip Hop, though I like some of it. I'm not a fan of sampling when the memorable riff from another song is all that's memorable in your remix. Remixes and samples can be done well, if there's originality to the process and I'm not distracted by thinking about how the original was better. It's a fine line. I pretty much hate mash-ups because I don't see the point or the originality anymore (if there ever was any past the novelty factor).
I could go on all night about the music I like and don't like, but this has gone on way to long already. Sorry for rambling.

Great post.
Snipped....didn't find anything embarrassing until the 80s. Side One of HS. Much of G sHits III. The most ridiculous: Live Magic: they deleted and skipped everything, so why shouldn't I? That whole release was embarrassing. I found an import vinyl version of this when it came out, and for the longest time, I thought they'd quit playing the taped middle of BoRhap in concert (along with all the other cuts). And just one LP?!?!
