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.
As many others have pointed out, you list a lot of their radio hits that I suppose can be overplayed and have become cliche in a way. But BORING? I will have to draw the line there. That music is nothing if not lively and full of spirit. Usually doing something unique with it’s themes and style.
Don’t tell me you are bored by Fat Bottomed Girls and Killer Queen?
