I used to think the worst thing about Queen were 'Queen fans' - but nowadays I'm torn between the fans, their post-86 output and, perhaps worst of all, what Taylor & May have done to the groups once carefully-protected legacy and back catalogue since John Deacon walked out in dismay.
I still love their music - I do have a tendency to avoid computer-generated oldies stations and gushing misinformed ITV music programmes so deliberately avoid exposure to the over-exposed and thus still can appreciate Bohemian Rhapsody & co - but the 'Brand Queen' has become absolutely tiresome. They had a remarkable 20 year legacy, over 20 years ago. That has been tarnished by collaborations with every piss-poor boyband and talent show contest winners under the sun.
Well said. |
