Adamovich Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I am pretty young here and this band is the band of my life, in the middle of a 90s i was trying to play like Roger Taylor on my dad's drums, apart from electronic music, being drunk I can tell you that no other band will be more important than Queen, I was raised with all that masterpieces and I am proud of it, I don't give a shit about the older bands or sth like it, that was my fathers bands let's say, Queen was my first important band of a childhood and unfortunately nothing else will be better than this. What do you, especially brits, make of all this, is it Queen an important band for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugene Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 yes, queen was probably the first band i really loved. the first greatest hits comp vinyl (http://rateyourmusic.com/release/comp/queen/greatest_hits/) was on heavy rotation from 7-11 of age.

Adamovich Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Yeah Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden are my fathers bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wall Bird Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Perhaps you'd enjoy Sparks. I was just introduced to this band a week ago and have been swimming in their music ever since. They certainly bear a resemblance to Queen, and as a matter of fact Queen opened for Sparks during a tour early in their career. They've got a great body of work and continue to make music up to the present. [youtubehd]beAbFjDER3Q[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Can't stomach them. It all seems like a very camp pantomine to me, with Widow Twankey singing and the 3 ugly sisters behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berk Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 i don't understand the love for queen. i find them over the top and pompous.. and i like prog! Agree. There's this musical I went to in London for high school, "We Will Rock You", I hated it. I began hating it even more when they started singing about computer music ruining "real" music as it has no soul etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirty Protest Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Blame Ben Elton for that. Or optionally blame Ben Elton for everything. Its quite cathartic. I quite like a bit of Queen. I dont really see it as pompous, more a sense of ridiculous fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising for burgers Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 i started disliking queen (and most 60's/70's bands) by the 80's, every fucking band on this time period got cheap and cheesy as hell with their horrible use of electronic instruments, such as electronic drums, i mean, on pop(electro/disco) it definitely fits, but on rock, meh water jumping out of the snares wtf except for the FLASH OST, that's brilliant!!!

I think they are some of the most incredible musicians in rock history. However, I think I like Sparks more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Greg Reason Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Queen are/were utterly brilliant. The songwriting chops alone are simply astonishing, and then there's the performances... I can understand that some people will not get into them because of the very overt flavour of their work but I daresay that I feel very sorry for those people! The Queen catalog is a veritable treasure-trove of classic shit that stands up to the most modern of releases in that the songwriting is utterly bulletproof and could not be bettered. Production has come a long way but it just doesn't seem possible that one could improve on what these guys did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
