Well, I've taken an objective analysis and catagorized all Queen fans into their rightful place. Try and see if you fit into any of them...... ;) 1. The radio play 'fan'- You know, the people who say "oh yea, that one group with that one song that's all WEEEEE ARRREEEE THEEEE CHAAAAAMPPPIOOOOONNNNSSS." But ask them the name of the singer and they'll scratch their head longer than a fat man scratches his balls during the third inning. 2. The greatest hits aficionado- We all know who these people are. (In generality of course). These people are the ones that have every type of greatest hits, or just one and play it until it crumbles with the woes of overplay. Also, if you notice, when asked what their favorite Queen song is, they will reply with something such as 'Killer Queen' thinking that not stating WWRY/WATC will make them seem more of a sophisticate of the music itself. Or even better, they recite all their favorites in order of the GHits list. However, they are appreciating Queen, so who can hate them for that? At least they are trying. :) 3. The polite, emerging fan- I think this is more of stage, but some people never seem to grow out of it. I love these fans because they are just getting into the greatness of Queen, yet they are still learning of more great songs that leave them at the most polite, friendly manner because lord knows getting ridiculed by someone who knows their stuff would suck. Bad. ;) 4. The quoting frenzy fan- These people know their Queen, but show it through constant quoting of songs. It isn't bad. As a matter of fact, none of these are bad, and I'm not speaking as if I'm so arrogant (but it may come off as that). However, quoting songs by Queen becomes really annoying. Fast. Nevertheless, they know their Queen. 5. Collectors Items snob- You know who you are. lol. 6. The weird fan- Anyone who is a Queeble should be stabbed. In the face. Ok, not the face, but these people are insane, and have no life. 7. The chill Queen fan- They know they know more than anyone else, but they don't flaunt it ridiculously, or bash others for not knowing. These are the best, because discussing Queen with them is wonderful and insightful, yet they don't bash say, a Ghits fan. :) ******* Which one are you? Cheers

EXACTLY what I was gonna point out. So which fans are stepfords then?

Fans AREN'T obligated to like everything about Queen, etc. !

You think wrong.

That's the point - we vary according to our moods/level of provokation/capacity for information/wallet size etc etc. Me, I'm a helpful obnoxious unsympathetic knowledgeable collector & alleged stepford who doesn't like being categorised....
