Is Queen over-rated ?

[Manspider]

No, definitely not overrated!!!

[The Toyroom]

I was on the fringe as far as being a Queen fan....OK back in the day but nothing I'd go Radio Ga Ga over...

[WannabeMego]

How's that for a title to stur up the pot ????

Personally, I think they are VERY over-rated ...

I think I read somewhere England voted them best band ever --- even over Beatles.

Why ? ... because of about 5 pop songs ?

Don't get me wrong .....

I like Queen, but I still think they are crazy over-rated.

Seems like the whole Queen Is The Best Band EVER thing started when Freddie died.

What do you think ?

Only five hit songs my ***.

This thread sucks, and Mike doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

There was just so many 70's bands that were much better than Queen.

I have Queen in the same catagory as REO, Styx and Journey

I totally agree!

Kids recognize the songs not because the band is so great, but the fact that the are played at all sporting events. "We will Rock You", "We are the Champions".

I do think Queen at times gets too much credit ... but they had some awesome songs. For sure they are Rock Icons. Best ever no.

I think he was joking about ICe Ice baby, that reference is too obvious.

Queen isn't overrated in my book. I wouldn't vote them best band of all time but definitely in the top 5.

My kids do not like the Beatles but when they hear me playing some songs they always associate it with a commercial...pretty sad. I was playing Hello Goodbye a while back and they commented they said "Hey, that's the song on the Target commercial."

But Queen is iconic enough that even my kids recognize "We Will Rock You" even if they can't name the band.

I think the Beatles are the best.

I think Queen's "ICE ICE BABY" song rocks!

Wow. I think we all need to pretend we didn't see that. LMAO.

[Mikey]

I remember Queen being very popular in the mid-late 70's ..... But during the 80's they really went down-hill ...... had less fans .... and their albums and songs declined in popularity.

Would this happen to The Best Band EVER ?

Beatles came in like a Lion and went out like a Lion.
