Interesting.
Just read the thread title. Didn't notice the thread was in the punk section. Ooops.

Clichéd answer anyway even if it wasn't a punk thread imo. Partly down to him dying as well I think.

It's not though tbh. A few decent singles and a performance at Live Aid. That was it. If he didn't cark it in the early 90s I doubt he'd be held in such high esteem now. The way it happened adds to his legend as well, similar to 2Pac's death (another guy overrated cos he carked it).

Wayne Coyne is a joy to see live. He's definitely a hippie but I couldn't help but smile at his namby-pamby crap about loving eachother during their Cleveland show. Does that make me weak? A commie? Both?

Wow. Just wow.

Over 150 million albums sold. 11th best selling artist of all time.

A few decent singles?????

Keep Yourself Alive
Seven Seas of Rye
Killer Queen
Now I'm Here
Bohemian Rhapsody
You're my Best Friend
Somebody to Love
Tie Your Mother Down
We Are the Champions
Fat Bottomed Girls
We Will Rock You
Don't Stop me Now
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Another One Bites the Dust
Flash
Under Pressure
Radio Ga Ga
I Want to Break Free
Hammer to Fall
A Kind of Magic
One Vision
Friends will be Friends
Who Wants to Live Forever
Innuendo
The Show Must Go On

Just some of the rock artists that have cited Queen as a major influence:

Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Metallica
Megadeath
Faith no More
The Melvins
Rage Against the Machine
Slipknot
Van Halen
The Cult Kid Rock
Nirvana
Radiohead
Trent Reznor
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jane's Addiction
The Flaming Lips
Smashing Pumpkins
My Chemical Romance
Panic at the Disco
Marylin Manson

Over the years I've seen upwards of a hundred arena/stadium shows and Queen in 1977 is easily in my top 3. Freddie's also the best rock vocalist I've ever seen live.

Saying Queen was/is overrated is simply dumb. Plus they peaked both commercially and successfully for many years and over a decade before Freddie's death.

I loved them when I was younger but they don't hold up so well these days. The whole silly, operatic, showtunes take on rock is too gimmicky.
