Re: The Doors versus Queen!

I'd say The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who and Pink Floyd are The Beatles closet rivals in Classic Rock Land....

Not Queen.

Heck, Aerosmith would beat Queen in a popularity contest here in America.

Coast to coast, The Grateful Dead too....

If it wasn't for Europe, Queen wouldn't be that big...

Queen isn't that big here in the States, as most Queen fans think and claim they are.

No matter what Cosmic Harmony says, I'm right....

:D

or what any other Queenie fans.

I do recognize Queen is popular...but who cares, so is Genesis, and they both stink.

:heheh:

You seem to be miss the part where I say "all the factors" Groovy. Queen is the second highest selling rock band of all time behind the Beatles and have beat most of The Beatles records in their native UK. Yes, Europe is where they're the most popular but you don't move 330 million albums in Europe alone.

In terms of sales and chart success alone Queen are the band that rival the Beatles closest (fact, not opinion) but that's not the most important thing that makes me compare them. It's their music. If you break down the versatility and diversity in both The Beatles and Queen's catalogs then they are unparalleled. It's not about who you or I think is most popular. If you actually analyze their music and the work the two bands put together in the studio then you can tell that The Beatles (especially when they became a studio only band) have far more in common with Queen musically and stylistically than The Stones, Zeppelin, Floyd, and all of the other bands you listed.

Re: The Doors versus Queen!

Label me a bubble burster but Queen almost never used an orchestra, Hep. They were do-it-yourselfers. In fact I can count the ones where they did (off the top of my head) on one hand....


Almost never? Yet your video just happens to be one of those using an orchestra.

...and to quote Magic, "The Doors never made anything this beautiful":

"Beautiful"? Overblown perhaps.

If you meant anything other than a straight popularity contest, i.e. popular vote, why then did you say you'd like to see a "real bout"? What is it that you're asking to see then, dead men strap on the gloves?

:huh:
