In fact it's better if you don't, in exactly the same way that not owning any Beatles or Beach Boys or Bowie albums is much, much, much better than actually having them on your racks and being able to pull them out and play them whenever you want for the rest of your life innit.
Only up to a point though; 'Fat-Bottomed Girls' vs 'Ashes To Ashes'?
Queen are basically, and quite clearly I think, an awful group.
Even when they were trying their hardest, during 'One Vision', say; it's a good tune, all right. But they were so uncool. They had no style, no sense of how they were going to present themselves, except, perhaps, as this sort of abortive, Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice version of Led Zep, and they had no taste. Were Queen at least partly responsible for the end of the Utopian Sixties dream? I think they were, in a way. There's no other Seventies, hard rock band, let's face it, whose guitarist would have been quite so gauche as to play a solo on top of Buckingham Palace, on the Queen's birthday.
Even Iron Maiden, horrifically, might have turned that down. |
