Queen the band sucks. I donât get why anyone likes them. Aside from Bohemian Rhapsody, their songs are bland and fall short. Their rock is dry. And the opera-style singing is cringe. Examples:
Another One Bites the Dust
- Catchy bass line, fun to direct at an opponent, CORNY AF. The song is about people being killed, but sounds like a funky Michael Jackson song with an Opera singer.
We Will Rock You
- Good solo, repetitive and annoying simple beat. Boom-boom-ch. So lame.
We Are the Champions
- Such a self-aggrandizing and braggy song. âNo time for losersâ? Okay, Donald Trump.
Bicycle Race
- I donât even have to say anything about this one. Everyone knows how corny this song sounds.
Somebody to Love
- Touching topic, cheesy lyrics and even cheesier choir-like singing. Itâs cringe.
I am happy for the band and their success. I admire Freddie Mercuryâs unapologetic flamboyance. The dude kept it real. But, I just canât like the music.
Iâm sorry if Iâve offended anyone. I understand we all have different taste and respect everyoneâs freedom to like and enjoy what they want. Iâm not trying to insult anyone for their taste, but merely expressing my own in a somewhat humorous attempt.
They really did suck. I tried to get into their catalog a number of times because I thought I was missing something due to the amount of people into them.
Couldnât do it.
Same with aersomith, prince and others
Thanks for reminding me to listen to aerosmith & Prince.
Anything else you dislike?
This might be more an aesthetic/sound/genre thing for you, not any one specific band (considering your other examples)
I totally agree but I suppose you have to note that at the time, it was somewhat unique.
That said, pop music has been bland since the 70s. Rock has dominated the charts for decades and anything remotely experimental is just called ânoiseâ by boomers who just seem to want more of the same.
The surge of dance music is a breath of fresh air that has become the same issue, but now affecting the next generation.
Pop music, by definition, is bland (or mundane anyway, in the sense of routine).
The broader the reach, the simpler it has to be.
Compare any pop artist to Miles Davis. Anyone can grok pop stuff, even if they donât care for it. Damn few people get Miles - I barely do and I have music theory training.
Wow, what an absolutely horrible take.
Upvoted.
