i always dug queen, regaurdless of the "alternative" lifestyle of freddie mercury, he was an awesome and talented performer, as was the guitar player, brian may, has gone on to influence countless players throughout the years.when your music stands the test of time, and doesnt just "evaporate" after a one hit wonder, you know you have made it. led zeppelin, cream, jeff beck and the beatles albums have stood the test of time, back when people made "albums" and not just singles with 9 other "filler" songs on the album. i hope music will turn around soon, the "britney spears" era has largely killed music as we know it today. when i heard paris hilton now has an album coming out, i almost packed up my guitar and amp and called it quits. i have been playing guitar for 18 years, but now paris hilton is a "musician". yes, hell really HAS frozen over for music these days. oh well, at least i still have the '80s..........
