We don't have an official Queen thread yet
And everyone has an opinion of them.
Grew up with them. One of "my" first b(r)ands. I only really got into them after Freddie died (I think I was 12 then), didn't really know them, but just remember innocently feeling it was a sad thing, and now I remember, being disgusted at an early age by the crap the tabloids came out with about him.
Brian May these days seems to be an sanctimonius asshole, which is a shame (pet hate!) that does sometimes overshadow the enjoyment, but you can't deny the band, despite being over the top, had more depth and musical skill than most. Or how much of a part of your life their songs have become.
Will I'm sure think about some songs and why I love them soon enough. Except to say that Queen II is a ****ing masterpiece.
