Not to mention that every one of them was a multi-instrumentalist. I've never met another actual musician that failed to at least recognize what they accomplished and contributed.

Besides, Queen as a comparison? Really? Similar level of musicality, just as much a pop band, and I personally find Queen to be far more predictable and less interesting across the breadth of their work.

I personally find calling one band better than another to be cringe especially highly dissimilar artists. Unfortunately I am susceptible to the bait when I should give a shit less what they think.
