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.

This post stays up.
I notice you got nothing to say about the greatest Queen song ever, Dont Stop Me Now, I guess theres always an exception to the rule.
It’s so good google made it as the song for a Google doodle for Freddie’s birthday some years ago.
That’s a funny way to spell Ogre Battle.
Actually listening to Ogre Battle when i read your comment. So thats fun and i wanted to share and thank you.
I found a deep cuts playlist to listen to before reading This article (i didnt agree with everything the article claimed, but was a passionate take on queen which was fun in its own way)
I accidently opened up the wrong app when I finished reading it and intended to come back here. After seeing the track list Ogre Battle immediately caught my eye as it is also the name of one of my favourite video game franchises.
Now i wonder if there is any connection between the song and the game. Now I really hope(and my head cannon until proven wrong!) is that the game creator or someone on the team was a huge Queen fan
One of my favorite things I’ve seen on the internet was a gif mashup of don’t stop me now with a gif of a porn where everybody looked coked out of their minds and this girl is dancing all crazy.
Man, now I gotta go look for this.
This sub is perfect now.

Anyone looking to dive into a Queen album, might I recommend A Night at the Opera?
I regret that I have but only one upvote to give.
To be fair, if someone listens to the six best known songs by a band and only likes one of them, it’s no surprise they wouldn’t bother digging into the catalogue further
Beatles sucks and is overrated
I agree with you 100%, every sentence, and now I don’t know whether I should up- or downvote you
Do you recognize their talent though? Because if you don’t, then this is more of an issue with your musical knowledge and lack of appreciation than with the music. That said, their music is 50 years old now, and music has changed and progressed a lot since then. Much of that progress is due to groundbreaking artists such as Queen. Bands in the 60’s and 70’s were pioneering completely new sounds that would change the face of music forever. Many modern songs are derivative of Queen’s music. It’s understandable that you don’t appreciate it like someone older would, because you’ve grown up listening to music that was a natural progression from this music. But in their era, they were something entirely new, fresh, daring, and awesome. Also, Freddy had one of the best voices in the history of rock and roll. I’d say he really only has 2 peers, Robert Plant, and Steve Perry.
it’s true that shit is fucking garbage
I totally agree but I suppose you have to note that at the time, it was somewhat unique.
That said, pop music has been bland since the 70s. Rock has dominated the charts for decades and anything remotely experimental is just called ‘noise’ by boomers who just seem to want more of the same.
The surge of dance music is a breath of fresh air that has become the same issue, but now affecting the next generation.
Pop music, by definition, is bland (or mundane anyway, in the sense of routine).
The broader the reach, the simpler it has to be.
Compare any pop artist to Miles Davis. Anyone can grok pop stuff, even if they don’t care for it. Damn few people get Miles - I barely do and I have music theory training.
Choosing their most radio-friendly songs and ignoring everything else? Yeah nah.
Any deep cuts you can recommend?

Upvoted because it’s unpopular.
Love this meme.
The artist has perfectly captured the feline character when being scolded here: annoyed, defeated…but utterly incapable of shame or remorse.
Ooh! Ooh! Do I finally get to say the thing??? Yaaay!
Username is relevant. This guy HAS really lost his mind!
Oh, wait…I’m supposed to use THEIR username…I’m so used to hearing MINE.
Eh. Still works.
What in your opinion is ‘good’ music? Queen was a fantastic band, one of the best imo.
I don’t like Queen but I attribute it to the genre more than anything else. Do you dislike queen but also like other 70’s-80’s bri’ish rock?
