Top Ten Reasons Why Queen is Better Than the Beatles
Freddie was such an all-around maestro - singer, songwriter, piano player, played the guitar, and so forth and so on. PLUS, he was the greatest rock performer AND he wrote this magnificent song, as well as many others.
True. My friends and I love singing along to "Bohemian Rhapsody." The best song ever, right?
It surely is. Even though I like the Beatles the most, I agree that Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest song ever!
Freddie has a better voice than John, Paul, George, and Ringo put together! He's a better musician and a better songwriter. The Beatles were good when they were all together, but their individual music was mediocre when they split up.
Wear your hearing aid. Freddie Mercury's voice was much fuller, more versatile, and had a better range than Paul's. Paul McCartney's voice is high-pitched and thin!
If one listens to the voice of Freddie Mercury, one will realize that it is the natural voice of a real singer. In my opinion, there is no replacement for Queen. They are the best.
Oh my goodness, Bohemian Rhapsody is FAR superior to Hey Jude... NO CONTEST! It's one of the greatest, if not the greatest, songs of all time. Hey Jude just rambles on and on ad nauseam ad infinitum.
No comparison whatsoever. Hey Jude is the MOST BORING song ever. It goes on and on ad nauseam ad infinitum, whereas Bohemian Rhapsody is the ultimate crème de la crème of songs.
Bohemian Rhapsody is much better than any song from the Beatles. It's a fact.
"Brian May could only wish...?" Are you serious? George, God rest him, was the most rudimentary of lead guitarists. There is NO comparison here. And Clapton has ALWAYS been overrated.
Okay, well, you shouldn't make that assumption unless you really have heard at least half of their songs. What about Somebody to Love, a raw, heartbreaking ballad loved by so many? The Prophet's Song, a powerful, melodic, and complex epic that gives Led Zep's best a run for its money? Scandal, a catchy yet sardonic song that actually does tackle a social issue - press harassment? '39, a gorgeous folk song about relativity? And finally, Bohemian Rhapsody itself, which, despite having become a drunken singalong, is so innovative, original, and emotional?
The Beatles are amazing, as good as Queen, but Queen are a better live band.
If someone tries to tell me The Beatles have more iconic songs than Queen, they are the definition of stupid. No one listens to The Beatles anymore. They were just a rock band that was good for their time, but bands like Queen, Led Zeppelin, and more still have a timeless discography. Also, I hate Beatles fans because they get all defensive when someone gives a good argument about why they aren't the best. I get that they changed music, but they aren't amazing anymore. People are finally realizing the hard truth that Queen is better than The Beatles.
No doubt he was, but Ringo is 100 times nicer and still a good drummer. He was exactly what the Beatles needed.
Ringo Starr is a great drummer, but Roger Taylor is the best drummer ever. Sorry, Ringo.
Ringo always drummed in a similar fashion. Roger was versatile.
The Newcomers
Very difficult for the other artists (almost impossible).
A Night at the Opera is the best album ever. Then comes Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd, Queen II, Physical Graffiti, Innuendo, The Dark Side of the Moon, and then some Beatles albums.
In fact, Queen is the band that made far more world-known (to almost everyone) songs than the next five artists combined.
YES. Roger's background vocals are amazing in Somebody to Love.
