>Name a single band/solo artist with more reddit likes than queen that's not the beatles.
>Queen being considered overrated is a reddit opinion and a cliché at this point, if anything they're underrated.
You didn't really think things through, did you?

>>129320352
Easy. CCR, and they did it in a much shorter span of time.

>>129320352
The Rolling Stones

>>129320352
Woah 3 hits how amazing.

>>129320352
You are wrong. Queen is quite overrated and over theatrical bulshit. Ok yeah their singer has range cool the music fucking sucks and all sounds like wave your phone in the crowd arenaslop, it’s glorified hair metal get over it.

>>129320352
Good musicians and all but they’re too campy and the style is too fruity and unserious.

>>129320352
>We Will Rock You
>We Are the Champions

>>129321649
You're lying to yourself

>fleetwood mac
Dreams, go your own way, ?????
>heart
Literally 1 hit wonders
>aerosmith
Good call but far from beatles, queen, and stones
>chicago
Kek

Only comparable act would be the rolling stones and maybe elvis, but elvis didn't write most of his hits and many were not originals, so I wouldn't even consider it a fair comparison

>>129322028
Nickelback has like 3 or 4 actually relevant classic songs which is way more than most bands

Queen is one of those bands people are quick to write off due to their popularity alone. I only recently thought to give them a genuine listen and they really were great

Also kek nobody even mentioned michael jackson which would be a great contender
/mu/ is fucking dead, this board lacks even then most basic musical knowledge

>Queen being considered overrated is a reddit opinion

No sorry we started Queen hate in response to cringe Redditors calling them the best band of all time in the early 2010s. You don't get to flip the script like that.

>>129323567
That rage comic is not reddit doe

>A hit is a song I personally know

We Will Rock You

>>129323937
>Enduring popularity matters more than contemporary success

You're shifting the goalposts dumbass

A hit is a song that reached the top 40 on Billboard or a similar chart

>>129323937
Basically all of them still get radio play.

>>129321925
>Top 40 hits

Try top-10 if you want real hits.

41, Drake

38, Madonna

34, The Beatles

31, Rihanna

30, Michael Jackson

28, Mariah Carey

28, Taylor Swift

28, Stevie Wonder

27, Janet Jackson

27, Elton John

25, Lil Wayne

25, Elvis Presley

23, Whitney Houston

23, Paul McCartney

23, The Rolling Stones

22, Eminem

21, Jay-Z

20, Justin Bieber

20, Chicago

20, The Supremes

>>129323972
Stop being a pedantic faggot. There are numerous "hit" songs that weren't released as singles, especially by bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Nobody other than Chicago super fans could tell you 10 songs by them, let alone could the average person tell you 35.

Cliff Richard, obviously.

>We Will Rock You was the very start of Stomp Clap Hey music.
>For that, Freddie had to atone by getting the Butt Virus.

>>129320352
they have like three songs max

>>129320352
They are overrated and they're also reddit. Cope

>That's the band with the gay dude right?
This is their legacy.

>>129320352
Was Freddie Mercury really as insufferable as that hit piece biopic Bohemian Rhapsody made him look?

>>129323937
>Enduring popularity matters more than contemporary success

This is the most ignorant take I've ever seen on /mu/, and that's saying something

>>129323022
>Nobody knows any song from CCR except for it ain't me and have you ever seen the rain
Congrats on writing the most delusional post on /mu/ today.

>>129324961
Who is more popular The Smiths or Huey Lewis and the News? Because these bands were contemporaries, and Huey Lewis sold more records and had far bigger chart success.

>>129325144
I know more Huey Lewis songs personally

And again, comparing bands by who is more popular in our arbitrary current year is stupid

>>129320352
This is a band by fags for fags. Kill yourself, theater kid.

>>129320352
Def Leppard.

>>129325162
>I know more Huey Lewis songs personally
Okay, well generally, The Smiths are the more well known band today. With vastly more people listening to their music.
>And again, comparing bands by who is more popular in our arbitrary current year is stupid
No it isn't. Arbitrary is saying a song nobody knows is a hit because it entered a chart for a week in 1982.

I read that as:
Name a single band/solo artist with more shit songs than queen that's not the beatles

>>129320352
fuck off glee faggot get some taste and stfu

>>129328126
would you explain to the folks at home?

>>129328125
Innuendo is the only one that comes close to the first 3, but he fucking dies after making it.

their hits suck. all their actually good songs are the hard rockers like ogre battle.

>>129320352
>called queen
>has 3 guys and 1 gay
So by that logic, if it was 3 girls and 1 lesbian, it would be called King

>>129328126
OP's definition is "songs that he and his gen alpha classmates know"
