I just love Queen!

But I don't know about the queen. The queen of UK? Or do you mean queens just in general?

      I don't hate them, just not like most of their material so much.

      They have some good pop/rock songs but not they are not extermely progressive.

      Bohemian Rhapsody, Innuendo are more than OK.

It would be more constructive to name this thread:"why I hate/dislike Queen" if,indeed,it serves any real purpose other than to antagonise.......

It is reasonable (and sane) to develop some hate on Queen from "We Are The Champions" on. It is a sign that one possesses some sense of art to generously hate "Another One Bites The Dust"

BUT

Everything Queen did release before that, i.e. Queen, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Race, is very very good!

A band that manages to make atleast 50 songs that are truly awfull can not be justified even if they should make one good album

^ they didn't. I challenge you to name these songs, at least the 20 most "ugly" Queen songs you can think of.

I love Queen ... the only albums which I wouldn't recommend are:

  • Made in Heaven
  • Hot Space
  • Flash Gordon

I even like most of the hit songs Queen made in the 80s.

Made In Heaven isn't very strong musically, but I think it understanable since is it was put together from the left-overs after Freddie had died.

Prog or not, the material Queen made in the 70s is excellent for me. A Night At The Opera is one of my all time favourite albums. It has a nice balance between the poppier and proggier material.

Again strict love/hate judgements. I tried to remain objective. Queen as an band released very good and even, constructed albums until "A day at the race".

"News of the world" and "Jazz" still have good moments. Things went wrong, IMHO, when the band ceased to be one and turned to become Freddie Mercury's extravaganza supporting act. But the same happened to Genesis and others.

The songs you listed aren't poppy crap, and some have decent proggy moments.  What was your criteria for picking the songs?  It looks to me as if you just listed all the Queen songs you could think of.

I hate the Village People ... or The Pet Shop boys, for that matter. Queen are LIGHT YEARS ahead of that kind of music.

How can I like those songs? Well, first of all it's a matter of taste. Many of these songs are objectively brilliant. Ask any music expert ... composition, creativity, innovation, musicianship, it's all there.
