I don't mind Queen and think that they were one of the only stadium bands in the 80s who produced OK records and kept some integrity while their peers (likes of Simple Minds/ Elton John, even David Bowie) were too busy attending to their shoulder pads and poodle mullets.

Queen also made every other band at Live Aid (including U2) look like second division wannabees.

Yes they did. I've been to a few stadium gigs and other outdoor shows over the years and not one act has managed to reach the back row just with musical dynamics alone.

Plenty try and dry hump the audience with pyros, video screen fluffers, dancers, stupidly large sets, pointless inflatibles and sheer blunt weight of volume. Queen just had to crank out those tunes and let Freddie work his magic. Never saw Zeppelin unfortunately but suspect they had the same thing going for them.
