You can draw a direct line from Queen’s songwriting and four-part harmonies through the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Four Freshmen. Add Led Zeppelin to that list and you have the entire foundation of Queen.
Honestly, fans like you ruined Queen for me. I was completely obsessed with Queen through my teens and early twenties, but everywhere they’re discussed online, it’s always this superiority nonsense. Queen being great doesn’t make the Beatles suck. Those are different ideas. I really think the fans are a big part if the reason I eventually burned out on them.
Apples and oranges. Queen was very good and their music influenced multiple genres too. That does not discount the value the Beatles added to music as a whole.
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.
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.
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.
Nah. Queen is ten times better.
Shit take.

Queen probably disagrees with you, they were huge Beatles fans

I’ll stand with you on this. Queen was 10 times better than a silly boy band.

Both are equally important in music history.

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.😉
