Queen Appreciation Thread

There's more. But yes, without a doubt one of the best bands to ever grace the stage. Awesome can't even describe them.

Pretty much

June wrote: Queen fans that can't spell Queen? Yeah, I have no problem admiting that I stopped being really into Queen a long time ago. I think it's because their lyrics have stopped speaking to me. But as I've mentioned, the documentary kinda rekindled the romance. The music is really f**king good...

That is an intimate way of spelling the band's name. But what would ex-fans know?

(and yay! )

Us real Kwien fans  have known for quite some time that Brian stopped dyeing his hair.

But anyway, would it have killed Deaky if he had participated with an interview? I would've liked to hear a different point of view on Hot Space, poor album got trashed like there was no tomorrow. And don't get me started on the making of Made in Heaven. [/RANT]

All in all, good documetary with fantastic unseen footage ( the recording of We Are the Champions in the studio ), slightly hard to watch at times, but I really enjoyed the fresh approach

Now I am looking forward to the Freddie-Jacko tracks. Latest news: State of Shock has Red Special on it !

I love "March of the Black Queen"

Great band. Quite eclectic, especially on 'a night at the opera'. 

Queen's early material is no doubt my favorite. Queen II is such an incredible album and is still put on regular rotation in my car. Of course, they've made music through their career that I've enjoyed (even in the 80's when they mostly made corny synth pop music), and of course Innuendo at the very end of their career is another brilliant album.

Hmmm...If I had to rate 'em, it would be
