Styx vs Queen - Discuss...

I like more of Queen's songs, but let me just say this: Bohemian Rhapsody is terrible. Especially nowadays, I want to take a shot every time I see a comment thread somewhere with its lyrics.

I've found that most of Queens best songs are overrated...

I honestly can't even listen to Bohemian Rhapsody anymore. Even the version from Wayne's World.

Except the Comic Relief version because it's great seeing Stephen and Hugh as Jeeves and Wooster singing that short part of it. Other than that, the song sucks.

Styx are one of the few bands I think are *better* live (or at least in the live albums I've heard of them)

A lot of Queen's songs actually end up underrated just because you've heard them 15 million fucking times and not many songs are good enough to survive that many plays.

Listen to some of the more obscure ones.

This is good for instance.

White Queen (As It Began) is really underrated.

While I admit I've come to hate We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You and Bohemian Rhapsody due to overplay, Queen II is a fantastic album and I love Princes of the Universe and Hammer to Fall.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love is a decent song, but needed more wildness than it had. Rockabilly isn't supposed to be sung like a soft ballad.

Try listening to Queen - Live at Wembley 1986, this shit is fantastic.

The buildup to the 1:07 mark is enough to make this my favorite Queen song, especially when the track reverses from being played backwards.

Also Styx is lame.

 

[Assorted Nuts]

Somebody to Love is better than Bohemian Rhapsody anyway.

 

[KingNothing]

Queen, because they were funkier.

A better band should have had the name Styx.

 

[The Cringe Connoisseur]

I knew before I cast my vote that Styx got absolutely raped lol.

I saw Styx in concert outside of Pittsburgh a few years back and was really surprised at how good their live set was. I went to go see Ted Nugent and he opened, but his set was only like 30 minutes long. Then REO Speedwagon came out, and they were good and they covered the hits. I think they played for an hour. Then Styx came out and did their thing and for an act full of 60+ year old men, they still had the chops. I thoroughly enjoyed the show.
