U2 honestly m8 nowadays they are as worse as ozzy osbourne

Nowadays, but U2 was good. I think they still make music to draw attention to them so they can promote poverty help.

Do u even have 2 ask me what band i think are influencial.
Obviously Queen and its nt cause i madly in love with em, they changed the way music was... until then jumping around in catsuits was a cry for insanity, freddie was one of the best performers ever, not just as a singer... he was a bprn entertainer and many idolize him including me... Also the way wen he was diagnosed with HIV he didnt let it stop him, he kept releasing records and albums an even in one of his songs gave his last goodbye 'i'll always love you' to his audience... if that isnt influencial i'd throw myself off a cliff.
They were the first band to combine rock and opera with massive hits still played. No1 dares touch queen songs (aka dance remixs) cos they knw it will be a huge downfall.
Legendary

They were influential in the sense that it inspired people to become musicians and make music. But this list is composed of the bands that inspired the actual sound for other bands. REM has many bands that have taken their sound and style and made it their own. The basic structure of alternative rock came from them.
Queen was a great band, but how many bands today do you hear that have the same style as queen? Let me know when you find a few.
By the way, Queen started in the early 80's the title here says "Of The Past 25 years"

Thats in the past 25 years lol, 2005 - 25 = 1980 They went thu the 80's and stopped early 90's well 1991 when freddie died but they still went on, even today they still big, not in the sense of number one hits like.
'The basic structure of alternative rock came from them', like i said they started rock opera and not many try and live up to queen cause their untouchable, no1 can do better than Queen, many have tried and failed... do i have to bring up G4 lol
The Darkness, they try copy queen with the rock sound, long guitar solos, even wen it comes 2 appearence wen justin wears catsuits.
By combining opera and rock its 2 completly diff sounds but yet it goes... Queen were known as 'glamour rock' and they prob inspired many people into that... keyword 'prob' its not a fact.

Oh yeah, lol. But still, not many bands copied their sound. People thought queen was the only band that could master that sound, and they were right, no one imitated them. So thats why they werent on the list.

The Darkness are rock, similar maybe to Queen I, II and Sheer Heart Attack, and some of A Night At The Opera.
I think Queen have done a lot of different things than rock.
The Darkness, so far have stuck to their sound which is just good rock.
They don't sound like Queen.
A guitar solo is a guitar solo... jesus it's not just Queen who have them.
Brian May never liked doing guiat solos live because he thought he was boring the crowd.
