Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are The Champions.
NS's aviation and train sabelotodo.
Post-left anarchist and sad about it.
Killdash, Firsthome, Coffee Cakes, SSC, GCoCS, Snowy, Val, Aeqy, and Replevion are my bitches.
Foot worshipper: Lutvikkia. Dakky's mom, I had her with Nana.
The female Jim Morrison; not as talented, but just as attractive and self destructive. The one true heir to the throne of the Lizard King.
Some poetry I write sometimes

Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song, but it wouldn't be that famous if it weren't for Wayne's World.

Best rock singer of all times IMO.

My favourite is "Don't Stop Me Now", but "Under Pressure" and "Bohemian" are also in my top list.

Dunno about that. One of the best definitely. John Lennon, Adam Gontier, and Ben Burnley have to be acknowledged as well.

Because a lot of their music is irritating and served as a vehicle for Mercury to show how awesome he was at singing, which strikes me as pretentious.

That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. It doesn't matter how good you are, pretension is pretension and I don't like pretension in my music.

I am shocked that anyone can honestly say that they don't like Queen! How do you sleep at night? I am surprised that God hasn't struck you dead.

My favorite Queen songs are Bohemian (obviously), Killer Queen, Radio Gaga, I Want to Break Free, and (my all time favorite, probably :lol: ) Princes of the Universe.

I support a healthy mixture of faith and logical reasoning. I realize that may mean something different to you, but I really don't care. I can be dissuaded through a logical argument. I'm fun to be around, but if you annoy me I will cut you.
Just kidding, I don't care as long as you aren't rude... :)

Mercury was very skilled, and Queen was a decent band, but I still love Robert Plant and Geddy Lee.

I really liked Princes of the Universe. People complain about pretentiousness? It's the pretentiousness that makes it, and Princes is so full of itself it's hilarious. Every time I hear it, I want to stop the vehicle, jump on my roof, strike a pose, and turn the world into a strobe light.

Wow... the continued existence of people who aren't fans of Queen must be proof that there is no God!
