Ludwigs: It was a genuine award other wise Queen would certainly have not appeared on british tv to accept the award and freddie would not be at any award show unless it was a special occasion and this was, Queen band of the 80s, get used to that because it is fact and history.

How can I possibly compete with your vast and totally superior rational knowledge??
You are just so utterly grounded and I have been put in my place once again with your total monopoly of intelligence.
I can't wait until I too reach the mental age of 10.

If you could possibly show me where I called you names?
You resort to flippancy just because you can't offer anything of substance. Did you actually get to meet him....the pie-man?

The King of Rhye: you say U2 were the biggest band in the 80s for a while, yet Queen blew them off stage at "Live Aid"
in 1985! Plus Queen were voted THE band of the 80s on tv in 1989 on "The end of the 80s show" ITV.
Queen personally collected the award.
ys
One performance and a UK award? When what I was saying was that U2 were bigger in the US?? Thats the US, not the UK....you know, those former colonies across the pond? I did say you dont seem to think anything outside the UK mattered, guess you proved me right!
You seem to be confusing personal opinions with facts......if you want personal opinions, theres a few other bands whose 80s work I'd consider better than Queen's....Metallica and Rush, namely.......but thats just my opinion! (if youre talking about the 70s, thats a WHOLE different story!)

ludwigs: what i told you is true and fact, any respectable Queen fan will tell you Queen were named band of the 1980s.
how old are you?

Gerry, you could easily turn your posts way better if you didn't claim Queen was THE BEST of the best because it's subjective, and that applies to any band or artist in my opinion. It may be the best for you. And there is a difference. As Wizard mentioned, there are very different bands and each fan of their band thinks they are the best.
Also, don't back your theories up by award shows and numbers - neither of them mean nothing, to be honest.
And lastly, please put "in my opinion" in your posts, as Brenski somewhere mentioned already.

Well, as you already HAVE read from previous postings, I too have been a fan for 42 years(1 more than you).
I am currently 48. 49 in June.
Yes, I am also aware of some 'facts' BUT I can act closer to my mental and physical age by being level-headed, not swayed by the press etc. This is where you come hugely unstuck. One thing maturity brings is the ability to see some bigger pictures. Sir Wanker also pointed this trait he (as we all had) when he was 15 but grew up and is very open to big world most of us live in.
You are a dinosaur who just can not and will not try to improve your mind.
Are you married? Ever have a girl/boyfriend? Do you have any children? Do you work?
