When I saw The Beatles in 1960 I got so pleased to hear there songs and the musical I learned that they played, I started playing a Guitar, then a Mandolin and a Piano. I love all music that has been around from 1960 to 2009. I thank you for The Beatles that came together and I miss John lennon & George Harrison , and so many musical persons that are no longer around from the 1960. But it still good to listen at all the 1960s music its all 100%plus:

Jambo - 15 years ago
My ears are open, but thanks for the concern. You should read my posts a little more closely before commenting, I don't believe I said I only listened to Queen. Other think there are/were better bands than Queen, and that's cool. I said Queen are my favourite band. From the list I'm partial to a bit of Bowie, G'n'R, Radiohead, Nirvana, the who, Springstein, AC/DC, U2 even the odd sex pistols!! As for the others mentioned in the list, and by other posters, they're not my personal taste - but I can respect why they have been listed. My point was, saying you don't like Queen because 'they suck' or 'they're fags' isn't much of an argument - is it? It's like saying 'The Who suck man, cos Pete Townsend's a fag!'
Jambo's rarely visited record store - 15 years ago
Go open you ears and quit listening to only one band. Maybe you'll find out that there are other better artists than just queen.
Jambo - 15 years ago
'Queen suck!', 'Queen are a bunch of fags!' You can do better than that! Go on, expand your vocabulary, you can do it! I suppose at least the level of the debate remains consistant!!! Otherwise please stop embarrassing yourselves, and contribute something worthwhile.

WTF is "wibble" supposed to mean lol

Jambo - 16 years ago
Wibble!

Jared/Jambo/etc stop talking to yourself. It's the first sign of mental illness. We all know that there is only one queen fan posting, and your village is missing you.
Jane's Addiction! They ruled and STILL RULE!!!!!!!! UNtouchable!!!! I love Queen, Zep, AC/DC, etc., but NO ONE matched Jane's & Perry!!!!!!!
Jambo - 16 years ago
Queen were a very good band. They might not have been everyones taste, but to deny them being up there with the best in terms of musicianship, stagecraft and songwriting is plain stupid. There are plenty of other bands on that list that I don't particulary like, but I respect their achievements. Whether they 'were' the best is all down to personal your opinion.
Jared - 16 years ago
These people just don't want to admit that Queen was actually a good band :P

'Queen are horrid'! nicely constructed argument there! Pink Floyd are horrider (?) , so there! And out come the 'Freddy was a faggot' comments. What is this, a nursery! does mummy know your using her computer? Stimulating debate.

And all that sweaty poggo-ing up and down against each other in the crowd isn't in the least bit gay :-o
Anyway, if we're going to have the sex pistols on the list we might as well have Sir Cliff and Celine Dion up there also. It's only fair!

The pre recorded part of the queen show is all part of the act, it works well - always has. They are'were amazing live. You are not seriously telling me Queen need pre-recorded backing to get through a live act!!! Anyway, they leave the stage for about as long as Punk Rock was relevant (about 90 seconds!).
Stupid poll anyway, it was always going to be subjective. Who is in a position to compare all the acts listed!!
ElJimbo - 16 years ago
Gotta agree with the KISS fans. Saw them when Cheap Trick was the warm up band. What a show. Cheap Trick rocked, but KISS, well they kicked ass. Still the best show I've ever seen and I have been to more than a few...
Jim - 16 years ago
Led Zeppelin as a great live band? Noooo. I saw them in 77 in San Diego when John Bonham passed out for most of the show. They absolutely sucked.
Punk rock forever - 16 years ago
Leaving the stage is showing respect to the public? Leaving the stage when people have paid $$$ to see artists perform, and not a tape recorder, is more disrespecting than respecting.
Me - 16 years ago
Yes they used pre-recorded music in Bohemian Rhapsody and left the stage so people wouldn’t think it was "live", this was done because they would need a lot of people in the stage to duplicate the album and show how much they respected their public, after all these years Queen is still the best.
Topper Headkick - 16 years ago
You people are wrong. The Clash are better than Queen. At least the Clash didn't use pre-recorded music on stage like Queen did. That's hardly considered "live".
Doug - 16 years ago
Queen has to be the best - been a fan since 1975 and just saw them this month in Rotterdam. Even without Freddie, they were absolutely amazing. Paul Rodgers has a great voice and you cannot get better guitar and drums than Brian and Roger! How can Zep fans be outvoting Queen? C'mon now!

Not sure what criteria most of you are using. As someone who lives for live music, who has seen over 1000 concerts, everyone from classic rock (Stones, Who, Rush, Clapton, etc.) to blues (BB, Muddy, Dixon, etc.) to metal (Van Halen, Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, etc.) to jazz (Branford, Ornette, Miles, etc.) to punk (X, Patti, Ramones, COC, Dead Kennedy's, etc.) to rap (tribe called quest, Ice-T, Public Enemy, etc.) to jam bands (Dead, Allman's, Phish, Mathew's, etc.) to pop and country (Steve Earle, Todd Snider, Boz Scaggs, etc.) I can honestly say that Bruce Springsteen is the best show going. 3 solid hours of pure astonishment. The tightest band. Even if you don't like his music, if you've seen him live, you will agree. There is NO ONE that good in concert. You shouldn't vote unless you go to lots of live shows and can compare.
KISS have given their ALL: as in ALL of their money to concert ticket buyers for 36 years. They are the best live act of all time. Don't get me wrong, other bands can be here too. If entertainment is your cup of tea, KISS is the best. Period.

That Queen vote rigger appears to be back again. The Queen vote was less than 300 votes an hour ago, now it's more than 1000. It's rigged.
How on earth could Britney Spears not be on that list. She is the best live performer ever.
Queen the best group I have seen "LIVE" in 1982 Milton Keynes and this year 2008 with Panl Rodgers at Cardiff NIA. They are the Champions.
