Big Queen fan as well ever since playing my dad's LP of A Night At The Opera (still one of my favourite albums along with A Day At The Races) back when I was a nipper and we still had vinyl as the main format for music.
Weirdly, he also had the Clockwork Orange soundtrack and Wings Venus and Mars and Band On The Run (which I still love).

I'm with pb. I too appreciate the influence that many of these 'greats' have had on today's music although there aren't all that many who's work I personally care too much for. The notable exception being Queen, they're probably the one act who have crossed over to fans of pretty much all genres. They were a great band and one who's work has stood the test of time.
Probably helps that Freddie's vocal range was a whole octave wider than any other singer before him or since (classical, operatic, popular or otherwise; proven fact, as it goes).
It's exactly why no other artist, no matter how good, should ever, EVER attempt to cover a Queen song.

I wasn't "arguing" with you, just pointing out that, whether you are aware of it or not, you probably have a favourite tune/ piece of music/ song somewhere that is in some fashion connected to or the product OF a member of the Eagles.
This statement pretty much applies to anyone, not just people of "a certain age".[/i]

The same goes for a lot of blues artists and even classical musicians, too. Surprising how many (good) metal singers are classically trained and influenced by the classics.
