Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly accessible fusion of the macho and the fey. For years, their albums boasted the motto "no synthesizers were used on this record," signaling their allegiance with the legions of post-Led Zeppelin hard rock bands. But vocalist Freddie Mercury brought an extravagant sense of camp to the band, pushing them toward kitschy humor and pseudo-classical arrangements, as epitomized on their best-known song, "Bohemian Rhapsody." Mercury, it must be said, was a flamboyant bisexual who managed to keep his sexuality in the closet until his death from AIDS in 1992. Nevertheless, his sexuality was apparent throughout Queen's music, from their very name to their veiled lyrics -- it was truly bizarre to hear gay anthems like "We Are the Champions" turn into celebrations of sports victories. That would have been impossible without Mercury, one of the most dynamic and charismatic frontmen in rock history. Through his legendary theatrical performances, Queen became one of the most popular bands in the world in the mid-'70s; in England, they remained second only to the Beatles in popularity and collectibility in the '90s. Despite their enormous popularity, Queen were never taken seriously by rock critics -- an infamous Rolling Stone review labeled their 1979 album Jazz as "fascist." In spite of such harsh criticism, the band's popularity rarely waned; even in the late '80s, the group retained a fanatical following except in America. In the States, their popularity peaked in the early '80s, just as they finished nearly a decade's worth of extraordinarily popular records. And while those records were never praised, they sold in enormous numbers, and traces of Queen's music could be heard in several generations of hard rock and metal bands in the next two decades, from Metallica to Smashing Pumpkins. The origins of Queen lay in the hard rock psychedelic group Smile, which guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor joined in 1967. Following the departure of Smile's lead vocalist, Tim Staffell, in 1971, May and Taylor formed a group with Freddie Mercury, the former lead singer for Wreckage. Within a few months, bassist John Deacon joined them, and they began rehearsing. Over the next two years, as all four members completed college, they simply rehearsed, playing just a handful of gigs. By 1973, they had begun to concentrate on their career, releasing the Roy Thomas Baker-produced Queen that year and setting out on their first tour. Queen was more or less a straight metal album and failed to receive much acclaim, but Queen II became an unexpected British breakthrough early in 1974. Before its release, the band played Top of the Pops, performing "Seven Seas of Rhye." Both the song and the performance were a smash success, and the single rocketed into the Top Ten, setting the stage for Queen II to reach number five. Following its release, the group embarked on its first American tour, supporting Mott the Hoople. On the strength of their campily dramatic performances, the album climbed to number 43 in the States. Queen released their third album, Sheer Heart Attack, before the end of 1974. The music hall meets Zeppelin "Killer Queen" climbed to number two on the U.K. charts, taking the album to number two as well. Sheer Heart Attack made some inroads in America as well, setting the stage for the breakthrough of 1975's A Night at the Opera. Queen labored long and hard over the record; according to many reports, it was the most expensive rock record ever made at the time of its release. The first single from the record, "Bohemian Rhapsody," became Queen' |

| freddieismyqueen 27.12.2004 14:24 |
Freddie was to me the most attractive member of the band. I'm drawn to men with dark eyes, complexion and hair, so I naturally found him the most attractive. Roger was CUTE...not 'hot' really. He had the big blue innocent looking eyes and a nice smile. Just not my type at all. Brian's too goofy for my taste, and John Deacon was too plain. |

| LadyMoonshineDown 27.12.2004 22:01 |
John was cute in his own way. Brian was hot with the slender body and massive hair. Roger was, for some and probably most people. a hearthrob blondie with big blue eyes and a winning smile. Freddie was just strikingly hot. Either way, I'd do all of them. Ha! Cheers |

Handsomest?how do you pronounce that my dear?. |
| LadyMoonshineDown 27.12.2004 22:29 |
like this: HAND-SOME-IST. Meh, sorry for the randomness of that, and well as the stupidity. ;) Cheers |
| Melancholy Blues 28.12.2004 01:20 |
i think freddie was the hadsomest, particulary in the early to mid eighties and john was the cutest, particulary mid seventies and early eighties. |
| deleted user 28.12.2004 07:39 |
This topic is doing well at making up new words... Well I loved Freddie, I think I always like dark eyes and hair, but I love Brian more!! They were all handsome equally, and Roger was sexy, but he's just not my type. It would have to be one of the other three! |
| Hildur Helga:) 28.12.2004 08:25 |
Brian,Freddie,Robert Plant,Jimmy Page,Jack White,John Deacon and Roger Taylor...They were and are beautiful[Like Brian is still beautiful and Roger and Jack White he is ofcourse young still]yeahhhhh..?! |
| rachael mae. 28.12.2004 08:29 |
For me, it's really hard to choose the cutest... it's very close between Rog and Freddie.. Don't get me wrong, Bri and John were very cute but too quiet for my liking.. I just love Roger's pretty blonde hair and his little drummer's face |

For the most handsom, its a tie between Roger and Freddie. For cutest, it is a tie between Roger and Brian. Wow, in the end i guest Roger takes all since he was in both catagories. |
| Awesome-O _4000 28.12.2004 13:57 |
Brian was the hottest. He had a brooding prescence and his lean body w/ his guitar was SEXY. The others were sexy too, but Brian wins. |
| Yogurt 28.12.2004 14:05 |
Roger was HOT! Brian was Sexy. Freddie was a Beautiful Hottie. John was an attractive handsome man. |

| Freddie_slave 29.12.2004 03:20 |
Freddie, without a doubt! |
| Darling39 29.12.2004 14:18 |
Freddie was hot. No doubt about it. Well, let me clarify, because Freddie experimented with all kinds of looks throughout the years. My favorite look for Freddie was 1975-1978, delicately thin and no moustache. I also like him a little later in the early 80's. Roger was definitely cute, although he always seemed to have a kind of rage in his misty eyes. He's like one of those guys you want to adore, but he just won't let you. Brian, though many have called him goofy, is actually pretty nice looking. He was the tallest, and I have a thing for tall guys. John, I'm sorry to say it, looked his best in the 80's. The afro was just his thing. What a shame they're outta style. and... Oh, I've commented on all of em. HAHA. Good looking band. :) |
| LadyMoonshineDown 29.12.2004 15:22 |
Mmmmmm..... I love Deaky in those short shorts. He really did have a nice ass. I bet he still does, but probably just wears old man slacks and sits on his ass drinking tea. lol. Cheers |
| teddybear 29.12.2004 17:34 |
Freddie is the hottest one. Brian, he is gorgeous too, all slender and moody looking - but he has a kindness that appeals to me. Roger is a real "bad boy" looking guy - so guess I would steer away from him so I did not get my heart broken !! ROFL. Deaky - was cute in the 70s with long hair, I can see why he was japans favourite at that time. But hey - tis all personal choice, just as well we don't like the same person, or else there would be alot of lonely single people in the world. |
| picky 29.12.2004 18:46 |

But hey - tis all personal choice, just as well we don't like the same person, or else there would be alot of lonely single people in the world.I have it all figured out. They were all differently sexy: Freddie-what makes him sexy: his stage confidence and his grace on stage. The way he'd close his eyes passionately when he sang certain songs. His best asset: his back when he took off his shirt and butt in white jeans. Brian-(you were right on the money, teddybear)what makes him sexy-he was "slender and moody looking" with intense eyes. He had his own grace about him when he played the red special. His best asset: his intense eyes, his long torso and abs, his hands, his height. Roger-what makes him sexy: he did look kind of like a chick. He was filled with everlasting energy and could go on forever playing the drums. Best asset: his sharp strong shoulders and muscular arms. John-what kind of cute in a dorky way(I mean it as a compliment). How he seemed to sink into himself onstage and forget the entire world. Best asset: muscular legs and butt. And I agree w/ teddy, it's all personal preference. Queen has something to offer everybody. I prefer Brian b/c I'm drawn to intense people (and being tall helps) |
| ryancoke 31.12.2004 00:28 |
If I were female, I'd say I'd find Roger the most attractive. Being a male, I'd say I'm jealous of Roger the most (Debbie from "Breakthru", good form, Rog!) |
| rabidhorsey 31.12.2004 01:14 |
I'm probably just preaching to the choir, but oh well. Fred...I love him because he's so passionate when he sings, and, as I think someone said before, he's SO sexy when he just closes his eyes and gives his all into a song. Then, while some people may see his teeth as a turn off, I think they're cute, especially when he's smiling. Roger is beautiful, quite simply. But he's almost TOO perfect in that, and I just don't go crazy over blondes. Personal opinion. John is adorable in his dorky way, and he looks so sweet when he (I just watched part of the Wembley DVD today) half-sings into Roger's mic during 'hello Mary Lou' or 'You're so Square'. Brian has the most appeal, to me. His hair was just gorgeous in the early days...maybe I'm imagining it, but it looked thicker and healthier or something, as compared to today...it just looks like he's struggling to hold on to his signature hair-do but beginning to face the inevitability of age. Anyways, his long graceful fingers, deep, intense eyes, and the somewhat dazed look he has in a lot of pictures win me over every time. |
| foxxy_moron 05.01.2005 21:06 |
I think Johnnie's the cutest. But thats my opinion i guess. He's got one of those really cute evil smiles (when he is smiling) but i just love em' plain and shy. ~Emma~ |
| Las Palabras De Amor 05.01.2005 21:16 |
ROTFLMAO I love how you guys get so pissed off. Hmm for me the CUTEST it would be Roger. He was CUTE. And I hate using that word for guys. I loved his hair almost all lengths. Plus he is pretty cute in drag. :P And the MOST HANDSOME would definetly be Freddie. I faint practically everytime I watch the Don't Stop Me Now video. He was so hot back then with his long hair, and leather jacket. It's a damn shame that he had a phase when all he wore were body suits with the straps and nothing on underneath |
