I don't think they suck per se, but oh god i remember when the queen craze and the rage comic phase overlapped and queen became the hottest band in the universe because the reddit hivemind decided it so. Want 1million upvotes, tell people how you're 12 but love queen. Personally i don't listen to queen at all, because i think they are pretty lame, but i don't think they suck. Their "fans" are or were turbo annoying tho.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Yes, very cheesy. Cheese tastes good.
it's true that shit is fucking garbage
It’s their importance in time and last power. You have your tastes and then we have what they mean external to you. You can choose to not like them and still value their importance to society.
you have my upvote.
Ooof. This is a good one. I appreciate your argument and reasoning. I thoroughly enjoy Queen, however I haven’t spent really any time evaluating their music as critically as you likely have.
What bands do you like?
They really did suck. I tried to get into their catalog a number of times because I thought I was missing something due to the amount of people into them.
Couldn't do it.
Same with aersomith, prince and others
Thanks for reminding me to listen to aerosmith & Prince.
Anything else you dislike?
Self-flagellation and coprophilia

Only their frontman, actually.
At least one member of Queen sucked. A lot of.
