Queen songs are childish and cheesy.
Doesn't mean they're crap. I enjoy a bit of cheesy childishness.
I mean, Queen, The Darkness, The Hives. You could argue they are all crap and cheesy, but there's no denying how good they are with making some fine pop music.
The fine Stilton cheese that Queen produce is a helluva lot better than the rank Limburger cheese most other pop bands fart out.
On the Contrery,
I love Queen, they are fantastically theatrical and they put on a good show, all im saying is their lyrics dont have very much in the way meaning, i never said that was a bad thing, but it is true.
bakerboy> Oh please, dont make me laugh.
The only reason you are making that absurd comment is because you are blinded by your own opinion. I have a friend just like you and beleive me when it comes to arguments such as this they have no ground to stand on.
And can i also point out that your talking about Deathblow when you make that comment. The Moderator of the Music Forum.
I dont think he would be in the position he is in if he didnt have a clue about what he was talking about.
They are all good songs nobody is saying otherwise, but its not unrealistic to say some of their songs are a bit cheesy. Lets put it into perspective, Queen's frontman was a gay Indian so he is hardly going to be writing songs about getting wasted and shagging women is he? Freddy Mercury is certainly not your stereotypical rock star and if Queen had just started putting out records today they would be branded cheesy. By todays standards they are definitely a bit cheesy but that does not stop them from being a great band.
Again, if you want to call Deathblow's musical knowledge into question I'm guessing you're gonna come off second best.
Im not question about anybody musical knowlegde, but to say that queen songs are chessy and childish is just ignorant and absurd.
Awsering you, yeah, Freddie was gay and indian, so what? Elton John is gay too and his songs are fantastics and he has many rock and pop hits. John Lennon , paul macartney and george harrison were from liverpool , a city of sailor people without any musical tradition, and they are three of the best compositors ever. Same with people like mick jagger, keith richards, bob dylan or bruce springteen, people from poor places without any musical tradition. So what?
So, please, explain to me what queen songs are cheesy and childish and why?
If you think i was saying that he cant write great rock songs because he is a gay Indian you are really missing the point. All im saying is that the songs he wrote are not your typical rock songs and could be perceived as a bit cheesy. Musically they rock with the best of them, but lyrically they are a bit cheesy by todays standard.
The examples you seek, lets see. We are the champions, Bohemian rhapsody, We will rock you and A kind of magic for starters if released today would be labeled cheesy. Dont get me wrong i like Queen and i think most of the people posting in this thread do to, but they are a bit cheesy and there's nothing wrong with that. We are just a bit more cynical nowadays.
Re: Is Bohemian rapshody the best song ever?

Many polls and lists from specialized critics and music magazines said it. For me, is one of the best songs ever, it have a lot of styles mixed, pop, rock, opera, etc. Freddie Mercury masterpiece is still absolutely incredible and wonderful. But im not sure if its the best song ever, but surely in any top 10. and your opinion?
Considering something the best thing ever when you cant even spell it. 🙄 😛
