I get why people don't like the song for various reasons, but there is no denying that Mercury put his heart and soul into the song.

Yea I agree and don't get me wrong I think Queen has some cheesy songs but I just don't think this is one of them. I think the main reason why I love this song is because Freddie is a phenomenal singer that just touches me with his voice lol I agree he definitely put his heart and soul into the lyrics whether he meant for the song to be serious or not.

really though? Government plates?

Ja, I thought that album was pretty awesome. I liked how it was more of a series of noise experiments than their other works. I also find it a lot more interesting and out of the box musically.

I am new to the web and that is saying something because I am in my 50's. I am only on it because of personal reasons, other wise no thank you. My wife said I may find it some what interesting. I have started with music because I know a little about it and I thought it was a safe topic. What I find is a lot of ugly banter from the folks who do not have any idea what on earth they are talking about. Then there are the people who really have something to share and some nasty retort is thrown at them. Witt is more than verbal vomit and is a heck of a lot harder. Unpopular music opinions sure. Here is one, I can not play a note and my voice stinks so I give at least a little credit to any body that tries. If you stink stop and join the great appreciation crowd. I gave up counting concerts when I hit 2000 and that was years ago. I have over 10,000 titles in my mid size collection and am looking forward to the new St. Vincent record! I have seen every one from AC/DC (B.S edition) to Zappa. Count Basie, Donovan, Pearl Jam, Doc Watson, Elton, Peter Tosh, Rufus, The Grateful Dead, George Jones, Etta James, Black Sabbath, James Brown, Sinatra, Hot Rize, Bowie...................... So lets talk music!!!!! Sarcasm is easy, Thoughtful discourse is the hard one. PS. At The moment I am listening to Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers any of you folks dig them?

Yeah, I think you're in for a rude awakening if those are your standards. Not everyone shares that kind of sophistication, certainly not everyone on the internet, and it isn't limited to music discussion, it's on almost any place where discussion takes place. For crying out loud, a facebook status that exceeds 15-20 responses usually turns into an argument, and more often than not at least one of the parties gets personal.

Harmony is a great idea in theory, but as far as I can tell it's just a pipe dream, because everyone has an opinion, and you can't control what people are allowed to think.

Anyways, to stay on topic (kind of), that's a good list you've got there, not a one of those artists I wouldn't have loved to have seen, some of them obviously I won't be able to. Never heard of Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers. To be honest, I thought that was an old-timey way of saying Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Just giving you the piss, mate.

I love how people totally ignore me unless I call them out.
But, good on ya, for taking it in stride...

So, no one else likes narcocorrido?
I find it fascinating... and catchy.

The Tejano accordion was lifted from German immigrants to Texas.
And, the fact they're openly discussing blowing up police with grenades on public airwaves always gives me a chuckle.

I really loved this when I got a hold of dad's "Stay Hungry" LP (I must have been about 15 at the time) - it's traveled with me everywhere.
