To Queen, it was oddly focused, almost safe but then not really, and just not very Queeny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Slipperman Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I can't listen to them. They push me over the edge instead of pulling me back. I'm sorry. They are talented men and they have great songs, but they do me in. Right now, trust me - I don't need that. That makes sense too. And yeah, you gotta know your own boundaries. Hell, last night I was listening to my friend's radio show (same network as me) and he played Cat Stevens 'Father and Son'. I totally lost it. I love that song but I miss my dad so goddamn much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Slipperman Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I do like those first two Queen albums and Innuendo. I just listened to Innuendo the other night. I swear I got more out of it than I have since this time last year. It's a much deeper record than I thought at first, so much Queen dna embedded in there. If I'm not careful, it could slip into my top 5 Queen, lol. LOL - Innuendo is absolutely in my Top 5 Queen :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 My issue with Queen is there is something about them that does my head in. I feel the exact same way about Styx but they have more than one singer and I like their style more. For me, you can have all the range in the world but it means very little if I don't like the sound of your voice. And Mercury was blessed. And he is a phenomenal singer. And he had flair and a sense of fun that on paper is my thing... ...but the reality is I have hated Queen since I was a kid and it wasn't until I heard his passionate performance of The Show Must Go On that I felt any sort of connection with his voice. And I love his voice on that song and I love the power of Innuendo, and perhaps a large part of that is that one song and the title track. I also like the first two albums because they have that infectious energy that all bands have at the start and I can get into it. But after that it gets messy. And since the first time I ever heard it I have hated Bohemian Rhapsody and outside those three albums I struggle to think of a single hit song or album track I can tolerate. Strange.....but to me it's all as unlistenable as Kilroy Was Here. I relate this band to Styx only because I have milder reservations about them in line with how I feel towards Queen. I would even say Queen were the better band. Im not foolish, I respect them a lot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's horrendous and I really hate those vocals and the melodies and the lyrics. It just really grinds my gears. But many have said the same thing about Born To Run.

I have a real soft spot for The Game, as it was the first Queen album I ever got - Xmas 1980. That factors in for sure. Nostalgia!!! And Save Me is fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
