arnold layne Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hmmm I don't know man, it depends on your style.I love the song 'I Want To Break Free' though, have you tried that? Sorry if that was a stupid question, because I bet tons of people have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray_TH Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I know what you mean. I don't get it either.I suppose I just don't like the sound they make.That doesn't mean they're shite (Millions of people can't be wrong), it just means I don't like their music.I'm sure they "rock..."

mr.b Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Start with the older stuff, its the best. But if you dont like a band, you dont, its as simple as that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_l Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 First of all, yes. This is a good idea. Queen is most likely the best band ever and will probaby remain that forever. Here's a few song tips:Bohemian RhapsodyWe are the ChampionsInnuendoIt's a miracleThe show must go onPrince of the UniverseIs this the world we created?And for a starter you can always get your hands on the first two Queen greatest hits albums. Those are fantastic and a great way to enter the world of Queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rQueen Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 You cannot like every band, so if you don't like at least these three songs:The show must go onBohemian RhapsodyI want it allthen IMO you should just accept the fact that you don't like Queen.

Christopher Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I had the same problem. But now I love them. It just took me some time to find the right songs.I started with "Spread Your Wings" and slowly start liking more from them like:Killer QueenCrazy little thing called loveDon'y Stop me nowAnother One Bites The DustSail Away Sweet SisterStone Cold CrazyThe Show must go onGood luck :xmasssanta: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon87 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Queen is most likely the best band ever and will probaby remain that forever.I think so too, yes!Try the "Queen Live at Wembley 1986" concert, this is probably the best Concert DVD ever, showing that Freddie definetly was the best vocalist and entertainer ever. So much energy, it's unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallic ko Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Queen is most likely the best band ever and will probaby remain that forever. I don't think so!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I love Queen, and as was said before, don't force yourself to like any band, just listen with an open mind. If it happens it happens. Monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 you ever seen Shawn of the Dead?That scene in the pub is the best anything ever to do with Queen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 If you need to be enlightened about Queen then im afraid your a lost cause, there is no way to help or advise you, may god be with you my son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutant Rose Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 You cannot like every band, so if you don't like at least these three songs:The show must go onBohemian RhapsodyI want it allthen IMO you should just accept the fact that you don't like Queen. I have to agree on this, however I know a couple of people who the ONLY queen song they like is Bohemian Rhapsody. Also if you are not into them now it doesn't mean you won't like them later.
