25 Years Ago Today

When it was mentioned on the radio today,
I really couldn't believe it was 25 years!

Cue all the Queen You tube links
I'll open with what was probably their greatest (y)
(Although *you* may know better)

Hard to believe it's 25 years. I'm 49 now, how did that happen? :runaway:

I was never a huge Queen fan but they sure had some classics. I didn't dislike them as a band, just my tastes are a bit heavier.

I was on my way to work when I heard the news, thinking back, it seems like yesterday.

Blimey, didn't realise it was that long, my daughter was only six months old.

Remember the tribute concert, Axl was a bit more spritely in those days, very sad for anyone to die that young, rip Freddie

Curiously, a very similar age to my son, and yet he's a massive queen fan, and not through any influence on my part either,

Weird isn't it how youngsters like music from our era, my daughters favourite band is Big Country

It just goes to show how crap theirs really is!
(Did I really say that out loud? :D )
 
It's difficult to surmise your top 5 or 10 groups but although my taste covers a lot, boy does the songs of Queen just not tire, I was in a queue of traffic approaching a r.a.b. today with 'Bohemian ' on the radio and when it got to that 'bit'...yes I started head bangin'...class

Well it is, last new band I liked was The Darkness, strangely enough a fair bit of Queen influence.

Indeed, seems longer than 15 years ago to me, strange how time plays tricks on ones mind., only playing The Crossing yesterday, one of the best debut albums ever.

I did go with my daughter a few years ago to see them with Mike Peters, obviously not the same, but great to hear that unique sound live.
