@ Riccardo: Indeed, history is proving us right; Freddie is a legend today, and the Queen are considered one of the best bands in the world by countless people, both knowledgeable and not. Fortunately, those like you who denigrate them in the most absolute way are a tiny percentage of the huge army of fans around the world! The strength of Queen lies in their unclassifiability! Take my nickname, it surely will suggest names like Area, Banco, Pfm, Museo Rosenbach, King Crimson, Genesis, Ange, Orme, Emerson Lake Palmer... And if I chose this nickname, it’s because I listen to this music, just as I listen to all hard rock and heavy metal. I won’t elaborate, but I want to say one thing and here I close, as I don’t expect to change your opinions, but to express mine. For everything I have listened to in my life, I have never found a group like Queen that is unclassifiable; they are UNIQUE!! The Queen, by crossing rock, created something unique, this very group. They created extraordinary songs regardless of whether they created something as you say or not! This last point is also false, because find me a band that before Queen developed those overdubs that have always been their trademark, find me a band that before Queen had May's guitar orchestrations that made him one of the most loved, esteemed, original guitarists of all time! People expected hard rock from them, and they delivered Killer Queen, Somebody to Love, inspired by Aretha Franklin! Inconceivable things for those who had a closed and rigid conception of the rock 'n' roll concept! Freddie was well aware of what you think; he knew very well that their music was outrageous and therefore subject to criticism.

Surely my favorite, the great Ian Anderson, one of the greatest talents that musical history remembers.

Regarding comment number 32. Sorry, there are people who consider Guns N' Roses the Best band in the world, and what do we tell them? But look, before them there were the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Black Sabbath???? What kind of talk is this?

@ Reviewer. P.S.: "From the strange face, she must be your sister" ah ah ah I didn't get that. Then the famous queen's cloak couldn't possibly fit in for a simple reason: we are in 1985, and the cloak will be used ONLY in the last Queen Tour the following year, the Magic Tour!

I made a mistake by quoting the songs and I quoted yours! I was referring to Be quick.. and From here to eternity. Anyway, I have to admit that you mentioned the strong tracks of the album; on that, I fully agree with you, but for the rest, no.

I don’t want to believe I’ve read such nonsense. Guys, here we’re taking shots at history and great music. I mean, you’re not talking about the Blaze era, you’re not talking about a No Prayer (which I like, but I’m aware many see it as a misstep).. You’re talking about Fear of the Dark! NOO I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it.. Judas my guide would be crap? Afraid to shoot strangers CRAP?? nooo, after reading nonsense on a loop about Queen, now we needed this for Iron..

47 reading your comments... Damn, you're really an asshole, let me tell you that from the bottom of my heart. You come here and shoot down the S T O R Y, but who the hell are you!! If you don't like Queen, that's fine, but saying they aren't part of rock history is like saying the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin were just shooting stars... I apologize to everyone for my outburst, I know I'm biased, but objectively you'll recognize the seriousness of what this idiot is claiming, by the way, without any foundation or expertise.

47 Not just a number but also a great ignorant pretentious fool. You haven't understood a damn thing about Queen, but people like you have always been around; us Queen fans have gotten used to it for over thirty years now. Not recognizing the importance/indispensability of a band that has traversed Rock in all its forms, a band that had the best singer of all time, a band respected by all the great artists of the rock scene and of ALL GENRES... mmm
You know what? I'll respond to you with a quote from "Death on Two Legs": But now you can kiss my ass goodbye.
