Re: La mejor Rola del Rock de todos los tiempos....
Mira, una cosa es que no te guste un grupo y otra muy diferente que digas que no han aportado al rock...creo que te equivocas, además de que no los has bajado de "weyes disfrazados de viejas" y ahora sacas las tendencias sexuales...creo que tienes un poquito de prejuicio por ahí, pero yo estoy hablando de MÚSICA solamente.
A mí por ejemplo, Pink Floyd no se me hace la gran caca que todo mundo dice...reconozco que son unos músicos muy buenos, pero que su importancia casi mitológica viene de la parte política/social que jugaban...para mí personalmente no tiene relevancia, pero claro, para la gente que lo vivió si.
Mercury y Queen además de tener gran talento innovaron el rock...te gusten o no, se me hace más bien que en lugar de hacer un análisis...estás haciendo un berrinche aquí descalificándolos...
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen
"La banda destacó por su diversidad musical, arreglos en múltiples capas, armonías vocales y la incorporación de la participación del público durante sus presentaciones en vivo. Se les considera pioneros del desarrollo del hard rock y heavy metal, incorporando elementos del glam rock, rock progresivo, folk, blues, pop e incluso reggae. Su actuación en el concierto Live Aid en 1985 fue elegida a través de una encuesta musical como la mejor actuación de rock de todos los tiempos."
Ya si de verdad sabes de música (pero de verdad, no nada más lo que te gusta y lo que no te gusta) podemos hablar de la aportación de Queen, de sus innovaciones y su influencia, incluyendo a muchos de tus favoritos...¿cómo la ves? así de maletas fueron....
"Sonic experimentation figured heavily in Queen's songs. A distinctive characteristic of Queen's music are the vocal harmonies which are usually composed of the voices of May, Mercury and Taylor best heard on the studio albums A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races. Some of the ground work for the development of this sound can be attributed to their former producer Roy Thomas Baker as well as their engineer Mike Stone. Besides vocal harmonies, Queen were also known for multi-tracking voices to imitate the sound of a large choir through overdubs. According to Brian May, there are over 180 vocal overdubs in "Bohemian Rhapsody".[50] Many Queen songs were also written with audience participation in mind, such as "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions"."
"Influence
More recently Queen have been recognised as having made significant contributions to such genres as arena rock,[citation needed] hard rock,[53] heavy metal,[54] pop rock and progressive rock,[citation needed] amongst others. Hence the band has been cited as an influence by many other musicians. Moreover, like their music, the collection of bands and artists that have claimed to be influenced by Queen is diverse and spans different generations, countries and genres.
Some of the musicians that have cited the band as an influence include: Anthrax[55], Ben Folds Five[56], Kurt Cobain[57], Def Leppard[58], Extreme[59], The Killers[60], Foo Fighters, Green Day[61], Guns N' Roses[62], Helloween[63], Iron Maiden[64], Kansas[65], Katy Perry[66], Keane [67], Manic Street Preachers[68], Metallica[69], Mika[70], Muse[71], Radiohead[72], The Smashing Pumpkins[73][74], Styx[75], Lady Gaga[76].
Queen have also been cited as a major influence on the "neo-classical metal" genre by Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen.[77] Metallica recorded a cover version of "Stone Cold Crazy", which first appeared on the "Rubaiyat — Electra's 40th Anniversary" album in 1990, and won their first Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1991. In the early '70s, Queen helped spur the heavy metal genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence;[54][64] the New ~~~e of British Heavy Metal followed in a similar vein, fusing the music with a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed."
Premios varios y estadísticas...que no por ser meramente números son descartables...
"Legacy
As of 2005, according to The Guinness Book of World Records, Queen albums have spent a total of 1,322 weeks or twenty-seven years on the United Kingdom album charts; more time than any other musical act including The Beatles and Elvis Presley.[78] Also in 2005, with the release of their live album with Paul Rodgers, Queen moved into third place on the list of acts with the most aggregate time spent on the British record charts.[79]
In 2006, the Greatest Hits album was found to be the United Kingdom's all-time best selling album, with sales upwards of 5,407,587 copies, over 604,295 more copies than its nearest competitor, The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Their Greatest Hits II album came in seventh with sales upwards of 3,631,321 copies.[80]
One of rock's most successful, influential and popular acts, the band has released a total of eighteen number one albums, eighteen number one singles, and ten number one DVDs worldwide making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. Their total album sales have been estimated at over 300 million worldwide[81] including 32.5 million in the United States[82] alone as of 2004. The band is also the only group in which every member has composed more than one chart-topping single.[83] Also, on January 2007, it was announced that Queen's Greatest Hits I & II was the most downloaded album on iTunes in the US.
Queen is also one of the most bootlegged bands ever, according to Nick Weymouth, who manages the band's official website.[84] A 2001 survey revealed the existence of 12,225 websites dedicated to Queen bootlegs, the highest number for any band.[85] Bootleg recordings have contributed to the band's popularity in certain countries where Western music is censored, such as Iran.[86] In a project called Queen: The Top 100 Bootlegs, many of these have been made officially available to download for a nominal fee from Queen's website, with profits going to the Mercury Phoenix Trust.[84]
Queen has also been acknowledged by Vh1 as an influential rock band when their hit "Stone Cold Crazy" was named number 38 on Vh1's list of the greatest hard rock songs."
