There are bits of QII I really like, Hammer To Fall is pretty great and Bo Rap is of course total genius but but but THAT guitar sound just sets my teeth on edge.
I think their strong point was actually things like "Crazy Little Thing" and "You're My Best Friend" and the big pompy ballads "Somebody To Love" where the guitar is less wheeeeeee.
Still one man's Johnny Marr is another man's Johnny Moped! When I was a kid Queen were one step away from John William's Sky, The Eagles and that War of the World thing. Shudder.
