I'll stand with you on this. Queen was 10 times better than a silly boy band.
Calling the Beatles a boy band makes it sound like you only ever listened to For Sale and Please Please Me. Even by Help and Hard Day's Night they had begun to develop some depth, by Rubber Soul they had broken that mold entirely and everything forward was breaking new ground.
Queen was thematic theatrical rock from the beginning building on work that the Beatles pioneered before Queen was ever even thought of.
Both are equally important in music history.
It's a joke. A friend in college pretty much only liked the Beatles and the Traveling Wilburys. The quickest way to send her into a spiral was to suggest the Beatles were just a mediocre boy band until they started using drugs.
Chill. And they're just not for me, just accept that.
You don't have to like them, but saying they were no good is still full of shit. Wiburys had like 3 good songs tho. You can tell her I said that.😉
And we don't have to agree on which bands we like.
But we do need to agree on you attempting to change what I said. I never said "no good." I said Queen was better. An entirely subjective measure. Better to me. Not you, not everyone.
Now go undo your liar downvotes. Typical Beatles fan, ugh.
I only downvoted grail, if you caught some they came from elsewhere. I checked. I considered remedying that but decided that was too petty even for me.
Thanks for checking at least, and thanks for engaging in conversation about it
