Without a doubt, Queen is the most unique band that ever lived! They fall under almost every genre of music imaginable and had one of the most accomplished guitarists of all time! And of course there was Freddie Mercury- not enough time in one life to describe how amazing and inspirational he was. If anyone knows true rock n' roll, then they know and love the greatest rockers in history- LONG LIVE QUEEN!

Undoubtfully and simply number 1 rock band of all time. Legendary. Never got boring ot monotonous like Zeppelin or Beatles. Much more influencial than all the others. Bohemian Rhapsody is just...art!

Quenn will live forever

Queen was the rock band that gave birth to the most known rock anthems and rock epic songs. From their first "Keep Yourself Alive" to their top "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the epic last songs "Innuendo" and "The Show Must Go On", Queen had continuously been teaching the musical world how rock music should be. How you can create something unique and techincally perfect by mixing the best of the available influences. Although The Beatles were the startpoint of rock music their sound was very boring and monotonous at times and few of their songs have survived the test of time. Led Zeppelin on the other hand used a very hard and heavy rock sound that made it difficult to gain attention and as a result only their "stairway to heaven" is now widely known. Queen mixed up all those previous rock styles and created a bombastic, excessive at times, glam rock that is until now their trademark. Mercury's voice and performances was something not ever found since then. I vote for Queen.

athens_voice

I love all there songs especially bohemian rhapsody
Great song
These guys are geniuses!

Metallica Sucks. Queen has the best singer the world has ever seen, the best drummer the world has ever seen, one of the best guitarists the world has ever seen and a good bass player.

queen rocks all the way and are by far the best rock band

Queen is the best no doubt. There songs r one of a kind. No body can cover a song with a voice like Freddie Mercury.

craftypham09

to all zepplin fans i personally think led zepplin cant compete with queens sound, freddy mercury blows robert plants annoying voice out of the water and queen satisfys all moods and zepplin just makes me tired with there long boring songs

Queen was the first band that exclusively reinvented rock performance, rock music, the exclusive rock voice, the perfect one refering to Freddie Mercury, and they have a monstruos contribution to at least 10 rock genre including Rock Arena Glam rock etc. They have 40 songs at least in 20 years of activity.
No other band till them had never this performance not even Beatles.
So many iconics pieces of music and such influence on big artists even in the 70'S.
Give credit to Queen they are the best. A queen fan from Romania

george

no doubt, queen is the best

name a band vocalist that can run and jump in a concert all trohough out the concert and doesn't affect the quality of his vocals... none other than queens freddie

No band can compare to Queen's distinct sounds which have influenced many types of rock. The greatest band of all time is Queen.

Queen no doubt, Bhomeian Rhapsody=BEST ROCK SONG EVER! and how about we will rock you that gets u pumped up more than any other song!

Queen as the greatest singer the greatest drumer and two of the greatest mans ever to play the guitar Brian May and Deacon. need to say more?

Queen - Roger Taylor is a great drummer.

Greenday

Queen THE BEST Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor. ::::WE WILL ROCK YOU::::

Great music, incredible vocal, no one can match their perfection.

Pure brilliance.

Iron_Rose

Freddy Mercury is a musical genius. Metallica is good, but they don't have a "bohemian rhapsody", an "another one bites the dust", a "killer queen" or a "we are the champions" now do they? Thats what I thought.

Snuckles

Queen is fricken LEGENDARY! I have a friend who doesn't even know who Led Zeppelin is... I know! He doesn't know who ANY of the bands on this list EXCEPT Queen. What does that tell you?

Snuckles

Queen... what can words say? They weren't just rock and roll. They broke the mould, changed the way we thought about music, and didn't care what the (idiotic) critics thought. Oh, and Freddie was a genius.

TheAI

15 Studio albumns of pure amazingness spanning over 23 years, really can't beat them Deacon, May, Mercury and Taylor all musical geneus' and the same 4 members all the way through!

Miles101

rock icon...

g2manalo51

Queenmaniac

MatrixGuy

Queen is the best in the world

Leslie

no one better

jtwulvz

Every member oozes talent. Great songs, great songwriting, great band.

Schbopo

Only QUEEN

Cirius

Maybe the best songwriters in history. There are bands I think are better than Queen, but I didn't vote for them because they aren't ROCK bands. Seriously... Paramore, Linkin Park and Evanescence?

toolenduso

Legendary. simply the best. spinal tap should be on here!

Snuckles

All the members had amazing talent which is so rare

MilesG102

There are only a few bands that will rock forever. Queen are truly one of this category. The members have given something unique to the world, something that nobody can get close to. They have revolutionized the rock genre. Brilliant minds, excellent musicians, intelligent persons-I'll always love and respect Brian, Roger, John and the unforgettable Freddie.

bettiblue

Queen is an amazing band Bohemian Rhapsody, The show must go on, oh theyre classic. Freddie Mercury has more energy than any other musician I have ever seen.

On anothernote, why is Jimi Hendrix so low, he's at 70 come on. Hes only the Best Guitarist in all of Rock. and beatles at #7 is sad, should be competing with queen for #1, not *gasp* Journey

ihatethisname

30 Seconds to Mars ahead Queen?
this List is a sad joke

rodoglez11

Best! all the greatest hits, and classics, We will rock you, Bicycle Race, Don't Stop me now, ALL of them!

Banana

who the hell are a-ha?
queen is legendary, neither metallica, journey, nor even zeppelin can be ahead of queen

rodoglez11

The greatest. I think bands like the eagles, led zeppelin, and particularly AC/DC should be right up there, they literaly rock. But Queen are jsut better than everyone that has ever been, 4 incredible songwriters and musicians, along with the man with the greatest voice there has ever been.

daftdavy

This list is a disgrace. A-ha at #1 and 30STM at #4, ahead of Queen?!?!? What has this world come to. I can see Led Zeppelin and Metallica being close to Queen, but not these bands. Queen is my favorite band of all time and of the most talented and greatest bands ever. I love all of their songs

DyslexicLuger88

Queen, Just Amazing. They wrote classic and virtoso hits from early 1970s - the 1980s and early 1990s which included different styles of music though always in the essence of Rock. However they wrote so many classic hits, their early albums are some of the greatest of alltime including Queen, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera but Queen II to me is the most musically brillaint albums of the past 40 years. Prg Rock ect their just majestic

allqueen

the name rocks their style rocks, their way of making albums and doing tours rocks, and all that's not even mentioning their music which is the most awesome out there, you can't even argue that Queen is the best, Led Zeppelin and Van Halen are 2 and 3.

Queen-aholic

Queen is the best band ever...

I don't understand why 30 seconds to mars is so high. Metallica, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are on the right place

Croon

Queen rocks in every aspect... consistency, technical ability, innovation esp. late Freddie Mercury. I'm surprised its not no. 1.

So many good bands to pick one but seriously the musicianship in this band is remarkable
