I don't like Queen.

I think I said this on this thread a couple of years ago and I still have my detractors marked out as OFTW.

Utterly dreadful and I would imagine there is a huge crossover between their fans and fans of musical theatre (not a homophobic point).

I'll admit Seven Seas of Rye is a banger though.

Bohemian Rhapsody added something to the charts of the time. Can't remember another single that did though.

Released 5 months earlier 10cc's I'm Not In Love made record makers and producers sit up and think.

care to put me straight ? i wasn't questioning his actual singing, but his fans w**k over his ''4 octave range'' while plenty of singers have than range and some are beyond that.

It's class how the rest of the band think they're anywhere near as interesting as Freddie Mercury.

Brian May made his own guitar from a fireplace, banged a household name actress and is a well respected astrophysicist.  That's pretty interesting.

Banging an alky from Eastenders isn’t that interesting tbh. The rest I’ll give you.

Dunno about his vocal range, but Freddie Mercury had an incredible powerful voice, and the theatricality to vary his delivery. You can't imagine anyone else filling in on Queen's songs and doing a better job. If it's vocal range you want (or anything else, for that matter), Mike Patton of Faith No More is your man.

Brian May seems like a bit of a w**k, but he's one of a select group of guitar players with their own unique sound, and his work is well-respected by other guitarists. I quite like the way he was willing to step back and not fill their songs with his guitar.

Huh, maybe I'm more of a Queen fan than I thought.

As a massive fan of both I'm more than happy with this.

Maybe this belongs here, I like Queen.
And Freddy Mercury had the greatest musical voice ever.

Me too. 

My favourite Queen songs though aren't the famous ones. When the weather turns bad like this I really like A Winter's Tale (not that David Essex bollocks, but a good song). Also like Spread Your Wings and  Save Me more than the more famous songs.
