First 4 or 5 albums are decent, then they just got daft.

surely for a big Queen fan having a little ā€œ+ Adam Lambertā€ added to the front of your Queen t-shirt is just incredibly annoying

I like a lot of Queen tracks but I could never call myself a fan of them. Not sure why but itā€™s probably just too many people I didnā€™t like who were into them over the years and maybe stuff by the surviving members.

Went along out of curiousity and it was a fucking banging set. Highlight of the festival.

Whether you like their music or not is really up to you and the only way to find out is to listen to their albums (personally I recommend the first six and the Innuendo from 1991). On a broader note one useful gift to society from Queen is to highlight who the dickheads and posers are on music. As a rule of thumb if ever I read of someone slagging off Queen they are almost always a dickhead who thinks they are on a pedestal to everyone else by championing bands such as Sonic Youth or the sound of twenty plus minutes of Mogwai noise while hanging around their click sucking up to the likes of the Redneck Manifesto. You know who you are.

Love Queen. Got every one of their albums.
First six albums are incredible then it becomes a bit hit and miss, although The Works, The Miracle and Innuendo have a lot of great tracks.

Never got to see them live but I did got to the Freddie Mercury tribute gig at Wembley in '92.

Freddie Mercury is the greatest frontman thereā€™s ever been.

Donā€™t mind Queen, but I really cannot take Brian May seriously. What kind of pranny goes on Desert Island Discs and picks not one but two tracks he appears on?

Itā€™s all opinions maaaaan.
Even Queen diehards canā€™t like Adam Lambert though right?

Personally I donā€™t like Sonic Youth, they sound like they canā€™t write a song or play their instruments, musicians should be able to do at least one of those things.
