I have to laugh at anyone who would go see any of those 80s bands today.

Like I just say “Ratt” was on tour. Ratt?!?!?! Really?!?!?!

I mean it may have been fun and all back then, but I can’t imagine anyone over the age of 50 listening to that stuff today.

"The only good song Queen had was Fat Bottomed Girls. The rest.....just never understood the appeal.”

Iv’e never understood why people who aren’t interested in an otherwise very popular band get on a thread just to complain they don’t like it. No one is making you have to like it. We all have different tastes. That’s why Baskin Robbins has 32 flavors of ice cream.

I tried to narrow down to my ten favorites, but these 14 were the best I could do:

Bohemian Rhapsody
We Will Rock You
Another One Bites the Dust
Under Pressure
We Are the Champions
Killer Queen
Radio Gaga
Somebody to Love
Who Wants to Live Forever
These Are the Days of Our Lives
I Want It All
Fat Bottomed Girls
Tie Your Mother Down
Hammer to Fall

Roy Orbison is similar to Elvis Presley

Orbison was more similar to Harry Nillsson than to Elvis. And Freddy was also similar to Nillsson. But each of them were essentially original, unique, and unlike anyone else, anywhere. So talented. Of those four, Elvis was my least favorite.

You are welcome. I know we all have diff tastes. I watch a ton of stuff on YT. The first video is hard to watch...very destructive lifestyle he had and he put many people in danger. But the doc was well done and it felt truthful to me.

Musical tastes are as varied as our diet!

Harry Nilsson ? Nilsson Schmilsson !

I ALWAYS wanted to do that !

Harry Nilsson is another one of the world’s most forgotten treasures.
