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.

Wow, what an absolutely horrible take.
Upvoted.
I love Queen, but (with the exception of Somebody To Love) I feel like you’ve picked out the worst and most overplayed Queen songs. If you’re open to seeing why folks like them so much, I’d suggest the following (in my order of preference):
- Under Pressure
- I Want To Break Free
- Radio Gaga
- Stone Cold Crazy
- Killer Queen
- Crazy Little Thing Called Love
- You’re My Best Friend
- Don’t Stop Me Now
- Who Wants To Live Forever
There’s a pretty good mix in there. Some are more operatic than others. Some go pretty hard.
I also respect your freedom to like what you want, but also also
Upvoted because it’s unpopular.
They have 15 studio albums and you only talk about the famous singles lol.
To be fair, if someone listens to the six best known songs by a band and only likes one of them, it’s no surprise they wouldn’t bother digging into the catalogue further
This isn’t an “unpopular opinion”, this is outrage bait.
You’re entitled to your wrong opinion
They really did suck. I tried to get into their catalog a number of times because I thought I was missing something due to the amount of people into them.
Couldn’t do it.
Same with aersomith, prince and others
Thanks for reminding me to listen to aerosmith & Prince.
Anything else you dislike?
Self-flagellation and coprophilia
