When it was first released I thought "Bohemian Rhapsody" was absolutely crap.

However during the last 45 years or so since then I've mellowed a bit until I recently came to the conclusion that it was still absolutely crap....

So all of you Queenies. What do you think of Adam Lambert doing Freddie? Yes or no?

He doesn't "do" Freddie, he does his own take on the songs.  I have seen them twice with Adam Lambert and once with Freddie (1986 Knebworth).  Adam is a good performer, has a good stage presence and allows us Queen fans to see the songs performed live again.  When they do Bohemian Rhapsody, Adam stands to one side while a video of Freddie does the business.  A nice, respectful tribute.  

However  I was not tempted to watch the virtual concert at over £200 for a good "seat"!

Sorry Mr W, but the song “ Bicycle” must rate as one of the worst songs ever, outside of Eurovision. Some Queen stuff was fantastic, but Some was dreadful .

Killer Queen and Seven seas of Rhye were superb.

Fair point - I cited it for the pun rather than its musical credibility. 
 

Early albums the best - start going downhill from 1978, but still some later gems in there.

And you’re dead right.

Didn't last very long though Quilp - Queen is not really a blues band.  Shame, because I was quite excited when Paul Rodgers joined up, he has a fantastic voice, but not really for the Queen harmonics. 

Bad Company were a better band than Queen ever were IMO.

I love Pink Floyd, bur songs  like “ Bike” are rubbish. Same with Another Brick in the Wall.  Nothing like what they are about.
