Queen the band sucks. I don’t get why anyone likes them. Aside from Bohemian Rhapsody, their songs are bland and fall short. Their rock is dry. And the opera-style singing is cringe. Examples:
Another One Bites the Dust
- Catchy bass line, fun to direct at an opponent, CORNY AF. The song is about people being killed, but sounds like a funky Michael Jackson song with an Opera singer.
We Will Rock You
- Good solo, repetitive and annoying simple beat. Boom-boom-ch. So lame.
We Are the Champions
- Such a self-aggrandizing and braggy song. “No time for losers”? Okay, Donald Trump.
Bicycle Race
- I don’t even have to say anything about this one. Everyone knows how corny this song sounds.
Somebody to Love
- Touching topic, cheesy lyrics and even cheesier choir-like singing. It’s cringe.
I am happy for the band and their success. I admire Freddie Mercury’s unapologetic flamboyance. The dude kept it real. But, I just can’t like the music.
I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone. I understand we all have different taste and respect everyone’s freedom to like and enjoy what they want. I’m not trying to insult anyone for their taste, but merely expressing my own in a somewhat humorous attempt.
That’s a funny way to spell Ogre Battle.
Actually listening to Ogre Battle when i read your comment. So thats fun and i wanted to share and thank you.
I found a deep cuts playlist to listen to before reading This article (i didnt agree with everything the article claimed, but was a passionate take on queen which was fun in its own way)
I accidently opened up the wrong app when I finished reading it and intended to come back here. After seeing the track list Ogre Battle immediately caught my eye as it is also the name of one of my favourite video game franchises.
Now i wonder if there is any connection between the song and the game. Now I really hope(and my head cannon until proven wrong!) is that the game creator or someone on the team was a huge Queen fan
