I know its the stupidest question ever but it's original you gotta give me that. And did Queen have any views on Bob Marley (ive been listening to alotta Ganja music lately) i figure if Freddie met sid vicious he must've met or at least said something about marley even if queens biggest worldwide rise was in 80-81 which was when Marley was sick with cancer.

Cool Cat slightly resembles reggae with the guitar pattern.

I think John met Bob, Crystal told thestory about that
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
Only Freddie came close to reggae with

Actually that was my first thought too. But no, thats not reggae either, although it IS carribean-ish.

I`d say that`s more funk than reggae

Maybe... if you were to hear just the guitar part and nothing else it WOULD be reggae. (notice I'm grasping at straws. this is the first musical genre I've come across that I haven't been able to pin down a song that Queen has done. lol)

They never did jazz...did they? noooo
They some Vaudeville tho =)

No, actually that one's easy.

My melancholy Blues is TOTALLY jazz. And Dreamers Ball also has a jazz feel. Bring Back that Leroy Brown too. Now if you mean SWING that's a bit tougher.
