Queen is definitely way up there. Have you seen the video of their performance @ Live Aid? Yikes, what I would have given to be there! (Ok I was 5 and probably wouldn't have appreciated it then...)

There's plenty of good bands, it's all a matter of taste at that level

Love them, or hate them, they were musical genius.

Personally they are like the beatles to me...awesome but I can only listen to a few songs at a time before needing to hear something different.

I guess I don't really _get_ Queen. I don't think they were technically impressive, nor am I all that impressed from a songwriting standpoint. For me they don't belong on a Top 100 list, much less rate being called the best ever.

We went to a concert at Seattle in 1980, The Game world tour. It was the most memorable concert I've been to, we were down front maybe 50 feet from the stage.

I truly wouldn't mind having been born 10 years earlier just to go to many more Queen concerts :thumbsup:

Freddie Mercury gets my vote as the greatest vocalist ever. Anyone that listens to 'Somebody to Love' without getting chills down their spine is as deaf as a stone.
