I think Queen have been described as prog rock. I like Queen but I dont really like prog rock as a whole. I think its a pointless sub-genre. Please dont shout at me if you dissagree it's just an opinion.

Thats OK , if you`re happy with liking Nickelback & Evanesence you go on listening to that.

I am happy listening to Nickelback I think they're a good band. But I listen to tonnes of bands you cant really judge a taste by one band can you?

And Queen were described as prog rock by 'Guitarist' magazine and im thinking they know what they're talking about.

Im thinking that the people from 'Guitarist' magazine are people just like everyone else. Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to genres. Genres suck. Im boycotting genres.

Well, you cant say they didnt have progressive elements, they had tons, weither they were inspired by other progressive rock bands is unclear, but they shared many elements associated with prog, such as classical influences, themes derived from opera and theater, unique vocal harmonys, complex instrumental exchanges, long epics and fusion of many different styles.

But there are things that set them apart from Prog as well, they are so unique that its not clear to anyone what genre they are, they are "Queen" basicly, but that dosent make them not prog, most prog bands are different from each other and share unique characteristics, Queen were prog when they wanted to be, like on The Prophets Song, The March Of The Black Queen, In The Laps Of The Gods Revisted, My Fairly King, Teo Torriate and Bohemian Rhapsody...And then they had pop songs like We Will Rock You, Another One Bites The Dust, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Radio Ga-Ga and I Want To Break Free which are about as far from prog as you could imagine, Queen were whatever the hell they wanted to be at the moment.
