But only about half the songs you listed are from their "classic rock" period.  And you've conveniently left out songs like Keep Yourself Alive, Brighton Rock, Bohemian Rhapsody (OK, that one's more towards the end rather than the whole song), It's Late, Tie Your Mother Down, Stone Cold Crazy, Hammer To Fall and I Want It All, to name just a few.

Yep i know 

But still...i think that the big majority of what i have heard of queen has not been very guitardriven songs...as said before i think 80% of their songs sound poppy

Then you definitely need to listen to their earlier albums - their later stuff is certainly more poppy.  And take a listen to the songs available here.  They're not all guitar-driven, and some are a bit poppy, but there are also some of their more prog songs there.

Yes yes Queen II and A night at the opera properly represents the 20% then...but still

If you add in Queen and Sheer Heart Attack, you've got more than 20% (and that percentage becomes even larger if you include A Day at the Races, News of the World and Jazz).

I never said that their entire catalogue is progressive.  Yes, they did have some pop songs, but as a whole, they're definitely more than simple pop.

Also, I don't think Asia suck completely.  They certainly do when you consider the pedigree of the band members, but as an AOR band, they weren't bad.  Of course, if you don't like AOR, then you're not going to like them, and I won't argue with you about that.  Queen, on the other hand are a different matter...

maidenrulez just can't look at Queen's music objectively. No need to take his Queen-opinions seriously.

What's wrong with aiming for 100 pages?

I've realised that, and have come to accept the fact that he is misguided, and therefore his life will forever be incomplete because he can't appreciate the splendour of Queen's music.

Well I'm not a fanboy, although I find early Queen pretty enjoyable, but to me it's very clear that their music is very guitar-driven and is anything put simple pop.

VERY GUITAR DRIVEN??? i have listened to about 60 queen songs and about 4-7 songs has a very DOMINANT  guitar and to me about 50 of these songs falls in the pop category...i hear what i hear and you can not change that if i hear a guitar thats dominant i dont think it is a piano just because i hate queen
