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/

MODERATORS
Do you recognize their talent though? Because if you don't, then this is more of an issue with your musical knowledge and lack of appreciation than with the music. That said, their music is 50 years old now, and music has changed and progressed a lot since then. Much of that progress is due to groundbreaking artists such as Queen. Bands in the 60's and 70's were pioneering completely new sounds that would change the face of music forever. Many modern songs are derivative of Queen's music. It's understandable that you don't appreciate it like someone older would, because you've grown up listening to music that was a natural progression from this music. But in their era, they were something entirely new, fresh, daring, and awesome. Also, Freddy had one of the best voices in the history of rock and roll. I'd say he really only has 2 peers, Robert Plant, and Steve Perry.
