Anyone who has total disregard towards Queen, I won't discuss further really. Our music taste and views obviously are too much apart. UnhappyHug

^Queen were an electic band with skillful songwriting, technical supremacy and will for constant experimentation. People who sayng they 'don't take them seriously', 'Queen were a silly pop group' and things like those always appeared to me like merely a snobs (in bad sense of word).

Don't take Queen seriously because they were too popular? Because they could come up with good catchy & beautiful melodies? All this snobist talk about how Queen were bad just makes no sense for me.

why not? Confused

Well, as an astute friend of mine once put it, just look at the name.


that's the lamest excuse for dissing a band.

hope you were making a joke...

I personally can't get past the term "dissing."

I don't think, any of these two bands are prog-related. Queen is almost the definition of art-rock and 10cc is definitely in pop-rock department.

Queen by kilometers.

Anyway, 10 cc's "Feel the benefit" is a great song with an entire part 'dedicated' to my country (all misleading but never mind). Ah, the song video reserves a surprise in the last frame.

A larger population than Great Britain... I'd say that counts quite nicely.

I never said they all had number ones in the same country
 
It always amused me that someone covered the ELP/Greg Lake song C'est la Vie and had a big hit in France because one presumes it had a French title.

^Hammer to Fall is written by May and it's never topped the charts in the UK.

Queen's UK No 1 singles are:
Bohemian Rhapsody (Mercury), Under Pressure (Queen & Bowie, all five involved in songwriting), Innuendo (Mercury & Taylor), These Are the Days of Our Lives (Taylor).

Queen's US No 1 singles were:
Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Mercury), Another One Bites the Dust (Deacon).
