Queen over rated or under rated
Ill admit im a huge Queen fan love there music. Had everything from Anthems to emotinal songs even disco.
But i have this debate with quite a lot of people when i get told there so over rated there only known for we are the champions and we will rock you.
In my view they made so many more than 2 well known songs another one bites the dust a kinda magic radio ga ga rhapsody etc etc. But in your view is queen over rated or under rated.

Musically, incredibly overrated (imo, of course).
They got the credit they deserved for the anthems, technically gifted musicians and the greatest live singer/performer of all time.
Have these 'people' you've debated with never heard of that little unknown song Bohemian Rhapsody?
Same as the other members. All good but not the greatest. Subjective I suppose. If someone becomes an obsessive fan, they become blinkered.
At the time maybe, but you couldn't say they haven't been highly rated by a lot of critics retrospectively.
...as in Freddy Mercury and I would agree that they are neither underrated nor overrated but, along with many other bands, they deserve to be highly rated based on their great contribution to popular music.
What did Beyonce bring to the table?
And they'll probably still be mentioned long after most of the modern artists that turn up on DS are forgotten.
Fancy outfits...
Oops, did I say that out loud? Got to be careful round here now to badmouth the "Queen of pop":eek:
:p:D
Ahem I give you...
Body Language.
yep, thats about it...
I agree
Bohemian Rhapsody, Live Aid.................. the list is massive
There was no twitter in those days, or even mobiles
How on earth can a band be "over popular"? People either like them or they don't.
Fascinating comparison. I hope you were being ironic.....
Unlike so many of the artists of today, Queen could play instruments and write music. And did so often with a wry sense of humour. Plus one of their songs provided one of the best moments of 'Wayne's World'.
Heck, I'm not even a fan but you can't deny that Queen are a significant British rock band.
Great live, great singles with an all-time classic but patchy albums.
it's very simple. When something is very popular but critically panned it's popularity exceeds it's quality - i.e. it's overpopular;)
put another way Queen were rubbish but people liked them anyway - they obviously either didn't care or didn't notice:D
