@Doog_de_Jour is a for sure Queen vote. So that's one. @Dennis_DeYoung is reliably gay, so there's two.

No judgement, but I’m kinda surprised @GrundleStiltzkin and @YellowSnow voted for Van Halen.

After @GrundleStiltzkin went U2 over Metallica, everything I thought I knew about the world has turned upside down.

Don’t have many f’s to give for either band. I can think of many more Van Halen songs off top than I can Queen. My favorite queen song is Nine Inch Nails cover of Get Down Make Love.

@backthepack has better musical tastes than most of the losers who lived through this music.

For those keeping track, yesterday was the 37th anniversary of the release of Fair Warning.

Lord must strike that poor boy down.

Sorry Brave. I've listened to Achtung Baby probably a thousand tims. While every dickhead was fistpumpin "Exxxxiitttt light!" I was silently and morosely mouthing, "Baby baby baby, light my way" in the lonely backseat of a 87 Taurus.

I like Queen fine and they had some great songs, but they just don't do it for me in the way the Diamond Dave era VH does. I've played the shit out of all of the first 6 VH records to the point of wearing out the grooves figuratively speaking, of course (my TT is set up perfectly with a tracking force of 1.75 grams).
