Queen the band sucks. I don’t get why anyone likes them. Aside from Bohemian Rhapsody, their songs are bland and fall short. Their rock is dry. And the opera-style singing is cringe. Examples:

Another One Bites the Dust

  • Catchy bass line, fun to direct at an opponent, CORNY AF. The song is about people being killed, but sounds like a funky Michael Jackson song with an Opera singer.

We Will Rock You

  • Good solo, repetitive and annoying simple beat. Boom-boom-ch. So lame.

We Are the Champions

  • Such a self-aggrandizing and braggy song. “No time for losers”? Okay, Donald Trump.

Bicycle Race

  • I don’t even have to say anything about this one. Everyone knows how corny this song sounds.

Somebody to Love

  • Touching topic, cheesy lyrics and even cheesier choir-like singing. It’s cringe.

I am happy for the band and their success. I admire Freddie Mercury’s unapologetic flamboyance. The dude kept it real. But, I just can’t like the music.

I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone. I understand we all have different taste and respect everyone’s freedom to like and enjoy what they want. I’m not trying to insult anyone for their taste, but merely expressing my own in a somewhat humorous attempt.

    For me it’s Pink Floyd. Never got into them, especially as I’m a guitar player. David Gilmour is such a vanilla player.

      What‽ 😮 Now I know how everyone else in this thread that disagrees with me feels. To me, Pink Floyd is on another level. There are good bands, great bands, and pioneering legends. Pink Floyd is a pioneering legend. Waaaooowwww. So interesting how something that can be deeply moving to me can feel vanilla to someone else and vice versa.

      Anyways, thanks for being cool about it 🙂👍
