RE: Queen

I'm not a fan of Queen, not because of anything negative, but because I didn't grow up listening to them. In the town where I grew up, we were more influenced by Colombian music.

I remember a very funny anecdote. When I was about 28, I moved to the capital of my country, and there was a very rock ‘n’ roll atmosphere among young people. I started dating a guy, and one day he was listening to rock music in his car and asked me if I liked Queen. As I've always been direct, I told him I didn't know who they were.

I remember the look of astonishment on his face and his question: “How can you not know Queen? Have you been in prison all this time?!” It was funny to see his face!

Of course, he then told me who they were, and that's when I started to get to know their music. Although I didn't get hooked on them, I must admit that there are songs that I like.

Sort:  

I can't recall ever hearing Colombian music, not something one is likely to hear in Australia I guess. I'm sure I've heard some in a movie or something but I probably wouldn't know it if I heard it. I know Queen though, and like their sound.

It's ok to like or not like different music, it's a free choice and if we all liked the same things the world would be a boring place.

I completely agree, diversity is a good thing!
