ENVY!!!!!!!!!!!! That's a concert I can watch over and over. George Michael stole the show. First song you heard by them? - Rhapsody Fave songs/albums? - Can't decide on album.... But songs - '39, One Vision, Hammer To Fall, Breakthru. Seen them in concert? - Nope. Who would you say they sound like? - No one, they pioneered that specific sound. Where do they stand among other all time great acts? - They're not the greatest of all time, but they're up there. Any other thoughts on Queen? - I loved Freddie's solo stuff. |

First song you heard by them? Bohemian Rhapsody
Fave songs/albums? – I’m not a fan
Seen them in concert? No
Who would you say they sound like? They are quite original
Where do they stand among other all time great acts? Dunno
Any other thoughts on Queen? Bohemian Rhapsody was number one on Molly’s Countdown for about 6 months back in the day.
Give me some songs to listen to.
Most of what I’ve heard I don’t like.

First song you heard by them? Yeah, I'd have to say Bohemian Rhapsody as well. Whatta strange song it is, and yet it works.
Fave songs/albums? We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, One Vision, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Stone Cold Crazy, Another One Bites The Dust, I Want It All, Innuendo.
Seen them in concert? No, but would have been one helluva show.
Who would you say they sound like? Like no one else, as they forged so many styles together to make their own sound.
Where do they stand among other all time great acts? Right at, if not, the top.

First song you heard by them: Hard to say aslong i can remember there music has been part of my life
Fave songs/albums: this is a hard one for me to pick pretty much can listern to anything by them over and over and never get sick of it, NEWS OF THE WORLD,A NIGHT AT THE OPERA,A KIND OF MAGIC, FLASH GORDON soundtrack (first album i owned),THE WORKS,LIVE AT WEMBLY '86 the list goes on
Seen them in concert: no but have seen a very good tribute band but if i had a time machine...
Who would you say they sound like: they have a sound all of there own, they were a band not just a celeb with backing band all 4 members were a vital part to there sound.
Where do they stand among other all time great acts: for me the greatest of all time.
Any other thoughts on Queen: one of the top 5 things in my life is QUEEN if i had to listern to one bands music for the rest of my life it would be QUEEN

First song you heard by them? Don't know they've always been there. First I can remember maybe Flash Gordon or It's a hard life.
Fave songs/albums? Too hard to call but top 5 songs (which will probably change by tomorrow!): I want it all, Hammer to fall, Spread your wings, Tie your mother down & Keep yourself alive
Albums: Innuendo, Night at the Opera, Day at the races, The works & News of the World
Seen them in concert? No unfortunately, too young. Got a few DVD's though.
Who would you say they sound like? Queen
Where do they stand among other all time great acts? Right at the top. Don't think any other band consistently put out so many awesome songs over a 20 year period.
Any other thoughts on Queen? Favourite band of all time. Got all of Freddie, Roger & Brian's solo stuff including Roger's side project "The cross" & Brian May's "Starfleet project". Also to my knowledge the only 4 piece band to have all members write a number one hit.
Thought "The Darkness" were going to be the next Queen, they even used Roy Thomas Baker to produce their 2nd album (& used Freddie's piano!) Unfortunately it wasn't to be. Truth be told I don't think Queen can ever be replicated, they were just too good...

Dont worry JJ, The darkness reforming is on the books as both solo projects of the brothers has failed miserably and they are back talking after the departure of Justins girlfriend/ manager....
