    I think the thing with Queen is that their songs are very different. I love the rockier stuff, but can't be doing with the end-of-pier type "Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon" type stuff. Queen II is an absolute masterpiece, and probably my favourite, but I also love The Works and Kind of Magic.

    Freddie Mercury was the greatest front man of all time. Queen were brilliant. not to mention they did the soundtrack to my favourite movie, highlander.

    Got the Greatest Hits double album and a Queen logo t-shirt for Christmas. Major Highlander fan, so the only thing wrong with the Greatest Hits album is the lack of Princes Of The Universe and Who Wants To Live Forever. I owned a 45 that had Another One Bites The Dust on it as a kid, but don't remember what song was on the B-side.

    So...

    Who remembers Freddy Mercury?

    He died of AIDS in 1991.

    I remember.

    Um, it's impossible to ignore someone with that much talent and ambition.

    It's difficult.

    Well, their music is phenomenal. I think they are totally appropriated and misunderstood, but that is rather... frank.

    I categorize Queen in a nostalgic little niche of my mind. Part of "Wayne's World", (do you remember that?), and sort of the same part as David Bowie...

    But to do that is to really undervalue them. The reality is that I'm not totally comfortable with what people infer when I listen to Queen or David Bowie, wear their merch, or learn their music. I don't want to be mistaken as the target of the sort of homophobia that is insinuated or deliberately directed at alternative walks of life as it were.

    I love "Bohemian Rhapsody"; "Wayne's World" or not... and this one:
