The Police are for people who read books. I like to punch people who read books. -
#7 QueenNot surprised that Queen is winning ... surprised that Freddy Mercury is delivering a white wash
Queen is a dangerous low seed that could make a huge run -
#7 QueenI always hated Stink. Still do. I wish Stewart Copeland would have beat his ass after every show.

#7 QueenSome of the Police's songs kind of sound good if you're not really paying attention. That's the best I can say for them.
-
#10 The PoliceAce Face of Quadrophenia should represent The Who. Not the Police.
-
#7 QueenRoxanne is a great drinking game song. That is all The Police ever brought to this world. That and Dune. Fuck them.

I remember the thrill of shoplifting Syncronicity from Fred Meyer as a teenager. Obviously something id find pathetic now but that was my twisted reality as a 14 year old idiot.Dennis_DeYoung said:Some of the Police's songs kind of sound good if you're not really paying attention.

#7 QueenMessage in a Bottle is a great song.
Otherwise, Queen all the way. Get any song from Queen II to The Game and it's better than anything The Police. Fuck the police. -

#7 QueenHow the fuck is Queen a 7 seed? If I was a 2 seed I’d be pissed to face Queen in the second round.

Thankfully Fleetwood Mac is way overseeded at the 2 so Queen should waltz into the S16 rather easily.WilburHooksHands said:

#7 QueenI'm not a huge Queen fan (have their greatest hits cd somewhere collecting dust), but they had staying power. They were successful and putting out not shitty music from the mid 70s to about 1990. The Police always seemed overrated to me. My brother thought Sting was great for some reason though.

Agree on Police but Queen is damn near the perfect band to me. They have multiple members who make all of the "greatest of" lists, including my choice for greatest frontman ever (a fucking Parsee from Zanzibar, no less), along with a fucking astrophysicist who happens to a guitar virtuoso. They put out hits in a number of different styles, including two arena rock anthems that every sports loving kid falls in love with at an early age. I'd argue they're closer to top 7 all time than a 7 seed. Really, really good band IMO.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:I'm not a huge Queen fan (have their greatest hits cd somewhere collecting dust), but they had staying power.

I'm a sucker for a band that you can listen to something they made and say "that's (insert band here)??" Queen were the masters of that. The first times I heard Fat Bottomed Girls or Crazy Little Thing Called Love or Bohemian Rhapsody I never would have guessed the same band I knew from We Are The Champions and We Will Rock You. Legends. -

Queen really is under appreciated. Freddy Mercury had arguably one of the best voices in rock, ever. The guy could sing anything impressively, including Opera. Totally agree on Brian May, he is brilliant, a true virtuoso.dnc said:

I last saw Brian May play live with Paul Rodgers on the Return of the Champions Tour as Queen with Paul Rodgers. Roger Taylor, Spike Edney, Danny Miranda (from BOC) and Jamie Moses rounded out the band. Two things really hit home. The quality of the musicianship was stellar, across the board, and Paul fucking Rodgers fails to age, he sounded great even if his voice doesn't fit Queen's songs, I mean who can replace Freddy Mercury doing a Queen song? They made up for that by playing some Bad Company tunes, and IMO actually improved on "Hammer to Fall" with May and Rodgers doing the vocals.
Anyway, Cheers Queen Fan! Totally understood.
Edit: IMO, Freddy Mercury had one of the best voices in rock ever, but that is not to say that he had the best rock voice. IMO, that is debatable but goes to the more "bluesy" voices. Guys like Robert Plant and Chris Cornell. -
#7 QueenChris Cornell, Ronnie Dio, Bruce Dickinson and Freddy Mercury are THE Mount Rushmore of rock voices.

Cornell obviously had the better range but Layne is my favorite grunge era voice.Swaye said:Chris Cornell, Ronnie Dio, Bruce Dickinson and Freddy Mercury are THE Mount Rushmore of rock voices.
Good list. -
#7 Queen
I agree. Only four spots on Mount Rushmore, which makes it tuff. Bon Scott, Layne, Maynard Keenan didn't make the cut.dnc said:
