I just searched for Queen in the music forum and to my great surprise, a thread for them hadn't been created (in a while at least) so I thought I'd give it a go. Queen are an extremely popular band, so you'll most likely have heard a few of their songs and know a little about them, but here's a little more info courtesy of Wikipedia. [quote=Wikipedia]Queen were an English rock band. Formed in London in 1970 following the demise of the band Smile, Queen consisted of vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor. The band became popular with audiences via their hit songs, live performances, originality and showmanship. Their 1985 Live Aid performance was voted the best live rock performance of all time by fellow artists, journalists and music industry executives in a 2005 industry poll. As of 2009, Queen have sold more than 300 million albums internationally.[/quote] The guys themselves: [img]http://thehostess.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/queen_band.jpg[/img] [B][U]The Music[/U][/B] Queen have released 14 albums (not including Flash Gordon, since that was more of a movie soundtrack IMO) here are my personal favourites from each album.

I paused my Insane Clown Posse in iTunes for this?
Ew a Juggalo, get away from me
I think it was Freddie's magical mustache that made the 70's so awesome. [editline]03:25PM[/editline] or did he grow it in the 80's? [editline]03:25PM[/editline] i dunno same thing
Innuendo is musical perfection.
One of the best bands in history. My favourites! Bohemian Rhapsody is truly an amazing song.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;18101897]Innuendo is musical perfection.[/QUOTE] Yeah I kind of get the feeling it was supposed to be Freddy's final message to the world, just do whatever you want and be happy in what you do.
Freddy Mercury was gay and it is a coincidence that when you take the N out of Queen and replace it with R, you get the word queer what is a synonym to gay/homo. Anyways, to this day, when i'm in class, i make the We Will Rock You beat with my legs and hands.

I'm hoping Chaosdog was just taking the piss out of all the folk who try to connect every fucking song/lyric with AIDs or homosexuality.
i want to ride my bike

The DJ Hero songs are epic with daft punk and queen combined [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oYSZ0YmgG8[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V27p55LKaHo[/media]
Queen are legends, people shouldn't even need a thread to know who they are.
[QUOTE=El Ruffianos;18102242]Yeah I kind of get the feeling it was supposed to be Freddy's final message to the world, just do whatever you want and be happy in what you do.[/QUOTE] I thought Brian May was the main song writer. :confused:
[QUOTE=Shibbey;18109510]I thought Brian May was the main song writer. :confused:[/QUOTE] According to Wikipedia it was written by Mercury and Taylor.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;18100712]Ew a Juggalo, get away from me[/QUOTE] jesus christ man I mean just look at his avatar [editline]11:51AM[/editline] Nothing beats Sheer Heart Attack (the song and the album)
I can see the appeal that people have for Queen, but they could never appeal to me, from what i've heard (the popular songs) they're music just seems... exaggerated.
[QUOTE=Metroid;18115387]I can see the appeal that people have for Queen, but they could never appeal to me, from what i've heard (the popular songs) they're music just seems... exaggerated.[/QUOTE] The reason they are so popular is ridiculous lyrics coupled with amazing insturment work.
I wouldn't say "ridiculous", I'd say fancy and odd.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;18119711]FIGGAROOOoooooOOOooooWWW. Isn't ridiculous?[/QUOTE] you probaly just listened to bohemian rhapsody and thought "WELP THATS ALL 100% OF QUEEN" Here's a song you forgot OP: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnrXiaPVeHY[/media]

I want to hear the best Queen song ever, NOW!
[QUOTE=Van Gogh;18141385]I want to hear the best Queen song ever, NOW![/QUOTE] Judging by your attitude, "I Want It All" may be a good choice.
These Are The Days Of Our Lives is amazing.
Queen rocks.
