The problem is, with magazines like Rolling Stone, they will completely love anything that is commercially good. No offence to any fans, but bands like Oasis, U2, REM etc etc will always be praised because they release things that people want to hear and say the things that people want to hear. Queen were not, are not and never will be a band who do that. They do their own thing their own way and I think that is what people don't like. They were four blokes from relatively oridnary backgrounds who happened to excell far greater than most musically, and actually achieve something off their own back and not really care about voicing their opinions.
That is what people don't like I think.
