I just want to know if my fellow Queen-fans have some tips to some other good SONGS...? Since we all like Queen, we might like the same songs by other bands/artists too...?
I start this off:
1. Phantogram - When I'm Small
2. Warpaint - Undertow
3. Ben Folds - You don't know me (feat. Regina Spector)
4. Blouse - Into Black
5. The Black Keys - Little Black Submarines
6. Kinobe - Chasing Clouds
7. The Kinks - This Strange Effect
8. The XX - Islands
9. Chromatics - Lady
10. STRFKR - Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second
11. The Cults - You know what I mean
12. The Kinks - This Strange Effect
13. Electric Guest - Troubleman
14. Morcheeba - Otherwise
15. Infantree - What you wanna do
16. Tame Impala - Feels like we only go backwards
17. Foxygen - San Francisco
18. Loudon Wainwright III - The Swimming Song
19. Steve Mason - Seen it all before
20. Artic Monkeys - Do I wanna know?
I'm not trying to be awkward (honest!), but there wasn't a single track there that I would say I could really be arsed with.
Two questions:
1- is this a "vote" as such, based on your suggestions?
2- if not, are our replies limited to more obscure stuff (i.e with the exception of Kinks, Cult and Arctic Monkeys, there's not a lot of "mainstream" stuff on your list).
There's a load of stuff I'm thinking of, but they may be obvious choices lol.

that's ta huge presumption to make so in answer - no way.
your statement is like saying - "well, if we all like steak, and i like whiskey, ice cream, bacon, curry and prawns, then there's a good chance you'll ALL like it too."
and as for the list - sorry, but it's bland in the extreme
I like about three quarters of the lists 2-4. I havent even heard of three quarters of the bands on the first list (if it wasnt for the same Kinks song being in it twice this figure would be higher) -will check some of these out
