Queen > the Scorpions > Journey

Queen is on another level. Freddie Mercury is a top 5 musical talent of the 20th century. Maybe top 2.

Who's number one?

In terms of combination of singing/songwriting and overall musicians? I'd say he's #1. Gotta put Stevie Wonder/Ray Charles/Bob Dylan/Elton John/Billy Joel somewhere in the discussion but it's pretty subjective.

Also Faunus, where are you with a response regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict? I believe I've made my position quite clear.

Fair enough to you and Nai.

Ironically, in terms of guitar solos, riffs, and overall melody, my favorite band of all time is The Scorpions.

The Scorpions were very influential, IIRC they more or less invented shredding. 👆

You've got a good taste!

Their melodies are legendary.

Shut your fat whorish unpatriotic mouth, Beefy; don't ever diss Journey, heretic. uhuh

I didn't. I just said they're not as good as some of the other bands. Facts suck 🙁

So what you're saying is, you hate America. 😬

You could only make that case if I hated Bruce Springsteen.

If Neal motherfvcking Schon's rendition of the National Anthem doesn't induce a raging boner and compel you to nail your old lady as hard as you possibly can in the name of Uncle Sam, you hate America.

Sorry but unless it's "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue", "God Bless the USA", "Born in the USA", "Pink Houses", or "Born to Run", I remain flaccid.

You goddamn Commie.

Anyway, Schon's another guitar hero. Former child prodigy coveted by Clapton and Derek & The Dominoes and Carlos Santana at age 15.

In terms of chops and melody, Schon and Toto's Steve Lukather are my two favorites. Gotta throw Bonamassa, Vai, and Satriani up there too.

You don't know because you've never been surrounded by people/nations who have called for your extermination your whole life. I don't unconditionally support Israel but I trust them to make the right decisions when their very existence is being threatened.

They want the destruction Israel as a state because it is an Apartheid state. However destroying Israel as an Apartheid state does not mean killing all Jews or anything of the sort. It means right of return of all Palestinans to that land, with everyone Jew or Muslim, or Christian or Atheist being entiltied to equal rights, welfare and benefits and freedom of Worship, run by a government that represents all of them.

I suggest you start to educate yourself here on the reality of the existence and underlying concept of the state of Israel:

^ You should read his books as well, especially The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. It's an hour long, and for people who are not going to sit through it for an hour I suggest you start off with these short vids tackling the propoganda and reality of the Current Crisis:

Edit- Oh and this one for a small/quick history lesson of the historical relationship between Muslims and Jews and the creation of Israel:

Oh my. That deserves a HUGE lol. I could tell you that when Israel was created, it accepted UN's proposal for the land it would occupy, while the Palestinians not only rejected the proposal but started bombing Jewish establishments. I could tell you that either you don't know what apartheid means or you are blatantly misusing it. All of that is irrelevant because your entire post could be summed up by one picture:
