Whether we like Queen more or think they are musically superior it's our opinion. The Edge, while not being as technically skilled as Brian, has a very unique sound. I have never heard Brian sound anything like the intro to "Where the streets have no name". However simple the guitar playing it is there, you have to admit that the sound is typical "Edge". With this and also by putting up great theatrical shows, they have earned their place in the history of rock and roll and THAT IS A FACT! hehe :) Wiley

To be frank, U2 songs all sound the same. The reason why they sell so much is because they have a great manager - not a great band. A U2 song can be good, but listen to a whole album, god no! When i hear or see the name U2, usually the $ sign is also in the article. Bono will not be remembered like Freddie Mercury is remembered, his talent. Bono is nothing special as a singer, they're just big in the US because they play on their Irishness (even though 2 of them are from England...). I mean where you come from matters...why did Freddie hide his roots! (even though us queen fans think it makes him sound more mysterious...and so do i)

Shit I know U2 is going to enter the first year they are eligible and Queen were better than u2. Is it because the hall is in the US and we all know how the US in very Queen "friendly." What is your take on it?

As usual, your ignorance runs rampant. There is a lot more to battling social inequality than money. Bono started a company in Africa called "Edun" that manufactures clothing, where it is ensured that the workers are paid a fair wage and work under good conditions. It is one of the biggest steps toward social justice of our time. I'll even save you a step, so you don't have to Google it (which of course, I'm sure you were going to rush to upon hearing about this company): link

But Brian has been quoted saying that The Who were a better band than Queen. Oh, wait, what does he know? You'd say he was just being modest. Stepford!

I admire you for being able to act like you know what you are talking about regardless of your evident ignorance music-wise. Whenever I listen to a classic rock band or artist that I've never listened to I just love to get to know it. It is a great experience, a whole new world to me. I look back at the days in which I only listened to Queen and, however marvelous they were, now I don't think it's enough. I just got into Bowie a few months ago and I'm loving every minute. I got a The Who DVD but I haven't got into them yet, the same with Led Zeppelin. In its due time. Do you listen to other bands apart from Queen and your own? I'm curious about this.

Wow, don't you think you are too hard on that one? He's not talentless, he deff could never sing like Freddie, but he's my dear too far of TALENTLESS. Have you heard any songs of U2? You can't say guy can't sing. Look other singers on top 40. They are right now in my opinion one of the best nowaday bands. You can't hate all bands & like just Queen, that's little scary. I'm not trying to argue with you here or something like that, but this is really weird. And you can't dissrespect opinions of other people. Everyone has his candidate, ok? No hard feelings.

And once again, on what premise are you basing this "fact" ? And don't say "thinking". Not everyone thinks the same way, and certainly you don't think that everyone who thinks differently than you is wrong, do you? If you're going to make outlandish claims and want people to take your words seriously, I suggest you back them up with some reasoning. Until then, all can say is, I think Freddie would be horrified to know there are people in this world who discredit 99.99999% of other musicians on his behalf.

You can check similar facts from U2 in the following page: link 20 Grammys and 8 Brit Awards doesn't sound too bad and it surely beats "an online poll" or "Radio shitty listeners voted". Get your facts straight. Queen was already a band 'crowned in glory' and had a huge amount of hits and a fan base when they played Live Aid. U2 had a few albums and a couple of hits. Think (yeah right) about early Queen with only KYA and SSOR sharing the bill in a top festival with the Beatles (their huge comeback), Zeppelin still going strong and Bowie right after Ziggy Stardust. It's all about taste, damn it! Can't you get that through your thick skull? haha :D. It would be interesting to have a one on one between Treasure Moment and his U2 equivalent troll. Wiley

Wiley wrote: It is only you who thinks like that. Does that make you feel special or plainly stupid? Maybe if there was ANY indication that would back up your words someone would care about you or your band. Until then, you're just another Internet troll. We find you mildly amusing but we don't think you really exist in the real world.

Queen= best band of all time,FACT

Wiley wrote: I think he means, that is a F.A.C.T. as in: a "Fucking Asshole Called TreasureMoment". Queen has had many achievements but I don't think an Internet poll ranks among the more important ones. Queen as a band kicked ass (they still did at the QPR tour, btw) and their music is timeless and legendary. Their legacy is OK. They don't need Stepford narrow minded asshole "fans" that know shit about music. Treasure Moment: You know Freddie loved Aretha Franklin and Hendrix, Brian loves the Beatles. They always acknowledged and gave credit to many of their peers and admired many of them, including rising newcomers. No band is an island. Seriously, do you think Brian, Roger or John listen to music by Queen at all???!! If you think they acknowledge other people just for the sake of "being nice", then you are a fucking moron. Even if Freddie came from the dead and spanked you, you wouldn't come into reason.

You diss people's opinion based on polls which are based on other people's opinion. That is plainly stupid. Bring out the numbers! Queen ranks very well among other bands and is highly respected, but it's not because the shitty polls you bring up! JCW
