Queen's influences

We all know that The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix are obviously in this group, but are there any others we can think of? Here are a couple I've thought of lately, now that I've gotten into these two great bands:

Bad Company - listen to I Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, and then listen to Queen's Feelings.

Yes - compare the chord progression and style of I've Seen All Good People (Your Move) to Queen's Doing All Right. In the same vein as ISAGP, Doing All Right has a light part at the beginning, and a completely contrasting, heavier part later on. Queen played many shows with Yes in the early days, and it seems that Yes must have influenced Queen's early material, especially in terms of vocal harmonies.

Any thoughts or additions?

the middle-section of GET DOWN MAKE LOVE is definitely led zep's midddle to WHOLE LOTTA LOVE

I agree, whenever I hear Get Down Make Love it reminds me of Whole Lotta Love.

And In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited's fadeout seems reminiscent of Hey Jude by The Beatles.

I agree. ITLOTG Revisited always makes me think of Hey Jude with the "Wo wo la la la wo Wo wo la la"'s

that song is an anthem! its so good i read somewhere that cream were also an influence but hey i reckon most of the late 60s prog rock was a definate influence

Black sabbath of course.

The Who, the Bee Gees, Pink Floyd, Genesis... but their biggest influence, imho, was Queen.

I like Tony Iommi. He's cool.

Somehow, I always thought that Don't Stop Me Now was influenced by Elton John, akin to Saturday Night's Allright For Fighting.

Don't forget Aretha Franklin, please.

I think in the 60's and 70's the bands used to influence between them, i'n not saying copy, just influence, it was the best era of music.

Smile, Wreckage, Ibex...

yeah queen used to do saturday night in there set its a pure rocker great lyrics... so ....un elton john me thinks

liza minelli.

The Jacksons
