Not even close to their worst song, imo. It's fun and Brian's guitar work really shines on it.

"Don't Try Suicide". It's so bad I won't even post a link, I might hear some if it if I went to youtube!
shareDelilah.
shareProbably You're My Best Friend. I loathe that song.
shareHaha. That is a godawful song.
shareIt truly is.
shareHonestly, I hate Bohemian Rhapsody as well. I'm not a big fan of gay camp in rock.
shareI know everyone will disagree with me when I say,
we are the champions
Now, I liked we will rock you.
I could say "Under Pressure" also.
Okay, there's another awful one, We Are the Champions. I'm really not a Queen fan.
Under Pressure with Bowie was terrible too.
It might be easier to post a good Queen song. They have too many lousy ones.
"Best Friend" is classic. A touching tribute from John to his wife, and catchy as hell to boot. That it's all over cheesy "buddy" type Tiktok vids won't change anything for me.
shareThe song the drummer sings about his car imo , not a big fan of radio gaga ether
shareAll of them suck
shareEdgy.
shareNo, there are many of us who never cared for Queen's gay camp rock. Camp and rock are antithetical to each other. Assign Queen's music to another genre, call it anything but rock, and some of us might not have such a problem with it.
share"Many"? Not really, they're one of the most universally loved and best-selling ROCK bands in history. The idea that camp and rock are "antithetical" is laughable, given the influence that people like Queen, Bowie, T-Rex, Alice Cooper and Gary Glitter have had on the genre.
Queen received endorsements from artists like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns 'n' Roses, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey and Tony Iommi, some (or all) of whom I suspect you'd consider proper hetero rockers...
Bowie's art was not camp merely because he wore outrageous costumes.
And no one calls T Tex "Camp". I think you're confusing 70's glam and glitter rock with "camp".
Yes, Queen elevated gay camp and melded it with their rock.
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro, magnifico
Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia
Mamma mia, let me go
The faux operatic element was gauche.
Sorry, a lot of us do not like that crap. It might be cute theatrics. But it's not rock.
No one calls T Rex "camp"
"Cocky and camp, T. Rex's 'Get It On' was glam rock's first global hit in 1971."
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-t-rexs-get-it-on-launched-glam-rock-11554827860
"Bolan... was the decade's first superstar in Britain, but he never hit it off with America, due in part to a stateside inability to comprehend camp."
https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/7903-electric-warrior/
" 'Hot Love' sparked glam rock with Bolan's increasingly camp Top of the Pops appearances crowning his satin jackets with the trend-detonating glitter dabs on his cheekbones."
https://recordcollectormag.com/reviews/album/electric-warrior-deluxe-edition
"Electric Warrior remained startlingly present well into the 1980s, with bands like Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard embracing the camp cock-rock aesthetic Bolan had pioneered."

Lame. So you google T.Rex and camp and you're gonna find plenty of straight males who don't understand it.
Why Did Critics HATE Queen?share

Your claim that "no one calls T Rex 'camp' " was shown to be patently false. The last link was from a gay journalist in a gay magazine, by the way. Not exactly a "straight male". 🤣
Your response is to post a video that continually declares Queen a ROCK group, thus scoring a further own goal. 🤦♂️
How will you embarrass yourself next?
Uh, try to have a civil conversation without throwing lame insults.
Sorry, you can call Bowie in drag "camp" if you want. But it's not the frivolous camp done my Mercury in Queen.
Galileo, Galileo? Really?
Yeah, Queen is vaguely rock. But you could have fooled me.
They're a lousy band. Plenty of people do not like them.
You claimed they're "one of the most universally loved and best-selling ROCK bands in history". No, they've always been dismissed by many including renowned critics like Dave Marsh.
You're going to handle the embarrassment of your own goals by baselessly accusing me of "insults"? Lame, as you might say.
Queen have sold upwards of 200 million records. They are unequivocally one of the most popular rock bands of all time, with the Beatles, Zeppelin and Floyd their only rivals in that regard. The penpushers laughably failed to influence public opinion of Queen, as they sold records hand over fist and influenced scores of future chart musicians.
Dave Marsh? The guy who said John Bonham couldn't drum? Yeah, definitely someone to take seriously. 😂
You claimed Queen was "universally loved" when both Darth and I and Dave Marsh agreed that "they suck".
You were wrong.
Britney Spears has sold 100 million records. Michael Jackson has sold over a billion records. So?
That has little to do with the quality of the music.
So, you're now disingenuously taking the word "universally" to a masturbatory, literalist extreme in order to further assuage the embarrassment. Yeah, I clearly believe that every single person to ever live since 1973 adored Queen... 😂
Nobody said sales reflected quality. We now have a strawman at play. Wouldn't it be easier to just admit you've been trounced? Hey, you don't even have to give me credit: your glaring own goals would have lost you this one regardless.
Uhuh, that's what you just said, dumbass. I beat you at every curve.
If you want a good gay camp rock band listen to Sparks.
As I said, Queen sucks.
Uhuh, that's what you just said, dumbass.
Ah, accusing me of non-existent "insults" while resorting to them yourself. Own goal number 26534780, was that? 😂
Now to batter you to bits once again by pointing to professional journalists who use "universally" in the same context I did:
"Queen became a universally beloved band."
