It's hard to find a singular song from each band that encapsulates what I'm talking about but I just love that like, theatrical balls-to-the-wall glam rock that combines hard driving guitar with elaborately overdubbed glass-shatteringly high guitar and vocal harmonies.
Sweet (youtube.com/watch?v=TcQDi6u28VQ) is another really good band kinda like that? but leaning a lot less toward theatrical and more toward rock. almost like Queen if it was fronted by Brian May. but idk
it's kind of an oddly specific genre but given how popular Queen was I'm surprised it's not easier to find more bands that ripped them off well
I think you're right OP. I was 13 at the time Night at the Opera was released and I can't think of a single band that emulated the Operatic style of Queen since then. Sadly this is the only thing i could think of that was even close. youtube.com/watch?v=ZlE0Mvih9sI
Ryder Butler
Sparks They a few good songs. Both bands kept influencing other down the line imo

The band are pretty big Queen fans if I'm not wrong
Oliver Ortiz
youre like what Montie would be like if he discovered avant-prog for the first week
Elijah Ward
cardiacs is one of my favorite bands and while they do incorporate a lotta intricate harmonies i never saw them as... like, as much of a centerpiece?? idk why. to me they were more about wacky new wave synths and energetically sporadic tempo changes
this is... surprisingly good?? especially as someone who isn't that big on modern pop or any of the music by contestants of american idol. i can kinda see why queen wanted to collab with him now
I should look into them. I did try listening to them before but they didn't really catch my attention. then again that happens with most music that eventually becomes my favorite. musical taste is like a virus to me
Nicholas James
cardiacs' harmonies as a centerpiece of the band i mean. not the band itself
Benjamin Peterson
Try listening to ELO?
Jordan Green
yep...it works in this thread too .
Joshua Williams
>this is... surprisingly good?? especially as someone who isn't that big on modern pop or any of the music by contestants of american idol. i can kinda see why queen wanted to collab with him now
I didn't say it was bad. Just that it was all I could think of that meets your criteria.
Samuel Jackson
I should do that too when I get on my computer
Samuel Perry
i just mean its surprising to me as someone who isnt that big on modern pop and has never really been interested in adam lambert
Jacob Morgan
good post
Mason Morris
Awww.... if you really wanted my attention all you needed to do was just ask.
Here, have a (You)
Isaac Bennett
Have you ever thought to stop tripping because nobody ever replies to you other than to tell you to fuck off Can't you take a hint if even Sal thinks that you are obnoxious
Jeremiah Torres
can we not derail the thread with all this shit i just want to talk about gay rock music in peace
Brayden Gomez
the other user was right, sparks all the way.
Lincoln Diaz
You do realize that telling him to fuck off is actually giving him attention, right?
How hard is it to just ignore the retards?
Hudson Flores
Eh, pretty weak bait, you played yourself the moment you mentioned Sal so.
Aiden Evans
Klaus Nomi? He tried way too hard to be kitschy but he might be a nice listen He even died from AIDS too what more do you want
Andrew Robinson
neither of these posts are about gay rock music
Jaxson Clark
If you didn't realize they're doing this to bait me. They have no intention to actually get me to fuck off.
idk something like Dream Theater
Benjamin Gutierrez
This
Jonathan Butler
Something about gooks on the internet ties my brain in to 4 knots I can't help it
Isaiah Rivera
nah it's not bait nobody likes you
Robert Diaz
btw racebaiting is easily the worst bait you could use it's practically screaming "LOOK AT ME I'M TRYING TO BAIT YOU" It needs to be more subtle my man
Boring, I've heard this bait a million times now.
Jaxon Harris
you're literally just a montie Nobody likes gooks btw they're one step away from hapas
Landon Mitchell
not bait. you suck and you're annoying.
Levi Sanchez
I said more subtle not more obvious
Do you just not know how to read or are you intentionally being stupid.
Aiden Sanchez

other user here, you're fucking annoying. you came into a thread to shitpost and draw attention to yourself, then complain about the attention you're getting. you're not spending your time well.
Joshua Price
You dumbfucks are literally hopeless.
Evan Wilson
He's trying too hard, you're just not trying at all.
>you came into a thread to shitpost and draw attention to yourself Only one of those things is correct and it's the former. Otherwise poor attempt to get me to respond seriously
William Perez
These anons are right. If you have never given Electric Light Orchestra a listen then I think you will find them very enjoyable. Not quite Queen. But great non the less.
I do really like ELO, they give me a fuzzy feeling inside. Maybe because of how much I associate them with Gainax and Daicon IV
But like you said, they're not quite Queen. It's so odd to me that even after all these years there seem to have never been any bands that have even tried to sound remotely like Queen, especially considering it was such a popular band. Well, except Foxy Shazam in a lotta respects
