SeriousNarb, I wasn't complaining because I found what you said offensive, I complained because I didn't find it funny, and I can't stand this current trend for saying stupid things and expecting a big laugh. Irony is not automatically funny.
Furthermore, cheesy is not gimmicky, and comparing them to the Darkness to make your point betrays a lack of understanding. The Darkness are a gimick band because they are intended to be funny, an their entire appeal is based upon the silliness of their act, Queen are a good band who also happen to be camp and silly.
And yes I like Queen. This isn't because I've "bought into the hype", it's because I actually like over the top, camp music. I listen to Rush, Dream Theater and Manowar, so Queen isn't that huge a leap. [snide retort] Obviously f you're a humourless dullard, you'll find them overated. Of course, we could stop mking wild ans baseless attacks on each others tastes based on our opinions of one band. But that wouldn't be fun would it?
Now could someone answer my question.
