I personally do not know (and can't imagine) anybody who doesn't like the band Queen.. Freddy mercury is an incredible vocalist, pianist, and performer.. Brian May is an amazing guitarist.. When you think of songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Who wants to live forever", "Killer Queen", "Too much love will kill you", or other masterpieces of the sort, don't you think it's impossible for anyone to not like the band ?
I personally would have killed to go to a Queen concert..Unfortunately, i was only one year old when Mercury succombed to AIDS. What a great loss in the world of Rock music.
What I wanna know is, do you love the band? do you know anyone who doesnt?

Not only is it possible, but you're talking to living proof. While I respect Freddie Mercury for his talent, I was never a huge fan of this band. Keep in mind, I was alive during their peak in popularity so I'm very well-versed in Queen. Not everyone is going to like what you like and vice-versa for myself. It's simply what makes us all unique.

It isn't possible for anybody to not like Queen. Queen is probably the greatest band of all time (everyone gives me thumbs down when I say this). They were amazing performers. If you haven't watched Live at Wembley I highly reccomend you do. They sound so good and have so much energy.
The band itself are amazing musicians. Brian May is an amazing guitarist. Have you ever heard "Brighton Rock"? He's really underrated but he can really rock. John Deacon has come up with some great basslines. The bassline to "Under Pressure" and "Another One Bites the Dust" are very memorable. The bass on A Kind of Magic is fantastic.
Roger Taylor is my favorite drummer of all time and probably my biggest influence when it comes to drumming. Playing anything by Queen is so much fun. Roger is also really underrated when it comes to how he ranks as a drummer. He's up there with Bonham and Moon! And Freddie, amazing vocalist. My Dad and I were talking about this. He said that if Freddie isn't the greatest singer of all time, there is no way he is not in the top 5.
The whole band themselves are incredibly talented. Brian, Freddie and Roger can all sing. Have you ever heard the Prophet Song? That vocal break is amazing. The 3 also do the infamous part in Bohemian Rhapsody.
Anyways, sorry for the really long answer. I just love to talk about Queen, my favorite band of all time. The fact is though that nobody doesn't like them, because everybody likes We Will Rock You. With that one song, everybody likes them (even if it isn't close to one of their best). That shows you how amazing Queen really are.

I know someone who absolutely loathes Queen... my mother. That is the one band that she will NOT listen to, if she happens to catch one of their songs on the radio she's in a bad mood for several hours later. I've never seen anyone hate a band so much in my life.
I like them, there's a couple songs I'm not too crazy about, but overall they're a good band. I've always gotten a kick out of purposely playing them while mom is around.. hehe.

Queen was one of the greatest. Freddy Mercury was the consummate entertainer. The lyrics and harmonies were and still are sublime. Queen isn't my favorite band, but I do appreciate their sense of style.

I'm not going to bash them or anything but honestly I don't care for them that much. I've never liked "Bohemian Rhapsody" either, that's one of those songs that sounds to me like it just won't end when I get the point within the first 1.5 minutes. But this is all just an opinion, I just don't care for thier music that much, although their efforts are respectable, it's not for me.

I don't ''LOVE" them, and most people I know don't either...we prefer more roots based stuff. I'd rather see the Stones, AC/DC the Who etc. The whole idea that "everybody" must love Queen is ridiculous. Different strokes for different folks.

I'm sure it's possible for someone not to like Queen, although I can't say as though I'm one of them. Queen is a classic!

Queen is one of the greatest band ever, so most people like at least one of their songs
