Check out this line about Queen...

From Crooks and Liars:

(guest blogged by Howie Klein)

"I have to admit I was never a big fan of Queen, a band that always seemed to lack enough spontaneity to seem even human."

2. They're much better at posting videos than genuine original thought.

3. I can see where someone might say that, sure

If they hated music.
Maybe someone with no rhythm, forever bitter about not being able to dance.
Or who once got their heart broke by someone who looked like Freddie Mercury :shrug:

4. He's got a point...

...but spontaneity was never the point of Queen, was it? Queen embodied power and majesty, and produced exquisitely-crafted albums. One might as well complain that they never made a good video game.

8. If one is talking about a live event or jam session

or soemthing like that, I would agree with you. But they were as inventive and, as you said, powerful and majestic on albums as anyone has ever been, and probably will ever be. That was what Queen was about.

5. Brian May just finished his PhD thesis, too
