If I never hear "Another one bites the dust" again I won't be too
upset.
Or "Fat Bottomed Girls"
A few of their songs I liked such as "Killer Queen"
I also liked "Under Pressure" with David Bowie

I am surprised. I found their music and arrangements varied and often
quite compelling and their lyrics unusual and interesting.

I just don't understand how Mercury could pronounce anything properly
with those toofusses.

I liked the older metal stuff off the first few albums. And also The
Game which I have on vinyl somewhere, used to listen to that one a lot.

"still" is the wrong word. Maybe "eventually". Delayed a day by our
holiday calendar; everybody else celebrated on the actual natal
anniversary.

That's a great song. I lived for Queen in high school. Saw them live
twice. Freddie had a once-in-a-decade voice. Ignore the haters.

Not quite. A) he was American, but B) it was the 1980's in rural
Indiana so although many kids had braces, perfectly aligned white
teeth weren't ubiquitous. Compared to Freddie, Randy just had a slight
overbite.

The problem was that they offset it a day for the Americans, so by the
time I was told about it, the rest of the world had already moved on.

My google-built browser searches from the URL box, so I never go to
google.com unless I'm told that there's a doodle to look at.
