Freddie has an amazingly strong voice that is unlike anything I've ever heard vocally.
Nevermind the Beatles, Pet Sounds is greater than queen's whole catalog.

Yuck. The Beach Boys is another band I loathe. They have maybe two songs I liked.

why? they made the greatest album of all time and is one of the most influential groups that ever existed.

Duraddict

Just doesn't do anything for me. Their songs seem to trudge on and on and their sound ... I dunno. It's damp. Like a cassette that's been sitting in a basement for 100 years.

Why do you say that?

Is it because you genuinely think that and you were around at the time to see & feel it's true impact?

Or is this just a lazy opinion you're repeating because you've heard so many 50 somethings preach it like it's gospel?

Personally I think anybody under the age of 50 who picks an album from the 1960s and says it's the best album ever made should be shot.

Give me all the stick you want for me calling Screamadelica the greatest album ever but at least I was 17 years old when it was released and it actually meant something to the generation I grew up in.

But ELO were better.

Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt.Peppers, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album, Abbey Road.

Doors, Strange Days, Waiting for the Sun, LA Woman

I'd say it was their second best album.

Ohhhhh now you've made me go all weak at the knees

What everyone here is getting at is that you have to back-up your opinions with logic that's all your own. You can't just regurgitate what Pitchfork and Rolling Stone tell you.

It irrelevant if you like The Beatles or Nicki Minaj as long as you can clearly state why. That's how you open up minds. Not by "they're the best because they have the most sales."

25 Albums You Should Hear Before the Moon Crashes into the Earth and We All Die

Fuck these backward thinking mongoloids.

Why on earth would you want to live of your parents past glories? At least have the gumption to pick something to the fucking time you grew up in that was actually relevant to the culture around you from the time and have the balls to defend it against other backward thinking mongoloids who think Revolver & Pet Sounds was the be all & end all in music. There's nothing wrong with liking those albums, but calling them the best ever? C'mon really?
I didn't even hear those albums until I was in my late 20s, why? because I was too busy enjoying listening to music from my own generation. I didn't want my parents fucking cast offs defining what I liked. Don't just repeat what some fucking 40 or 50 something journalist says in some dinosaur rock publication, go out live it yourself.

Urgh people like that make me sick and are the reason there's so much terrible music around.

As long as it's brown & sticky
