      We don’t recommend that song to new recruits, Grasshopper. People think it’s too weird and don’t give it a chance. It’s sad, but it's true, so we have to recommend falsetto compilations and such before the newbies can take on that level of the Queen experience.

      Loved The Beatles and Ringo too. Saw both bands live and both were amazing. Queen had technology in favor for their live concerts, The Beatles didn't and couldn't even hear each other on stage!
      Phil Collins was great live too.
      Queen built on groups like The Beatles and The Beatles built on those who came before them. Glam and camp like Freddie perfected built on Elton John and David Bowie.
      Queen and The Beatles were totally different and unique bands, two different styles, both creative and both great.

Man, that short clip of her soloing there - girl had CHOPS, seriously. And she was certainly one of the most gifted vocalists of her era, perhaps THE most gifted. What a tragic loss, hers was.

      As someone who grew up back in the day I can tell you that not only was Karen Carpenter insanely talented as a drummer, she also was the only one who sang lead on all The Carpenters songs. No-one else sang their songs in studio or when performing as the band was her and her brother Richard (who wrote many of their songs and was their composer). That's quite a feat and likely quite physically draining.

      Roger Taylor is easily the best 'singing drummer' in rock history. A far better drummer technically than Phil Collins, almost as good vocally, and most importantly nobody could combine drumming and lead vocals to anything like the proficiency of Roger. Vocals - awesome, Drumming - awesome. Both at the same time. On numerous songs.

He deserves to be #1 because he is that epic, and after you watch even one video of him you will never forget it! Tommy Lee has surely been an inspiration for many great drummers everywhere.
    In fact, he is so great, that there should be an entire video dedicated to his Top 10 best drum solos of all time, but I know why there isn't. It's because it is impossible to choose between all of Mr. Lee's legendary performances.
    Nevertheless, he deserves to be included (preferably at #1) on this list.
    He can also sing. He has a very nice deep voice. Listen to his mind-blowing solo albums TOMMYLAND and NEVER A DULL MOMENT. No offense to the other drummers because they are all great, but none of them can touch the talent that is Mr. Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe!!!

Roger is definitely good, but Karen, Don Henley (who should have been #1) and Phil Collins are in a different league. Roger was not even the lead vocalist - granted he was backing quite possibly the greatest singer of all time. Roger is where he should be - maybe even a bit higher than he should be.

If you mean he's the genius drummer positioned behind Genesis onstage, okay- but Genesis was always a collective band. One could argue that keyboardist Tony Banks contributed the most towards creating their sound, but all the way back to before Collins was even in the band, they nearly always shared credit. "There must be some misunderstanding." Best to all.

    "He's THEE genius behind Genesis"......Sorry but I beg to differ.There have been several geniuses behind Genesis going as far back as Anthony Philipps.Peter Gabriel,Steve Hackett,Tony Banks,and Mike Rutherford along with Phil ALL contributed greatly to the song writing and compositions for the band.I think that because Phil's solo career began to take off at the same time that Genesis became more popular in the 80's most people assumed that the band was just a vehicle for Phil,and it was all just a one man show.They assumed the other guys were merely his back up performers but this is definitely not the case.

      They had 2 good records with him on Vocals, Trick of the tail, and Wind and Wuthering. Everything after that was garbage. Of course that's when they became wildly popular...

      He wasn't even a member when the band got together. Historically, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford would "be" Genesis, because they've been in every lineup from "From Genesis to Revelation" to "Calling All Stations". But Genesis has always been a conglomerate of talented musicians, so their music changed when Collins joined, it changed when Gabriel left, it changed when Hackett left (in my opinion the worst loss of them all), and it changed when Collins left. Every lineup must be heard in its own right, otherwise you're doing the artists wrong. If in doubt, listen to Banks' and Rutherford's solo projects and hear how much of their personal sound is also part of Genesis' music. And how much of the sound is still left on "Calling All Stations". The progressive back bone of Genesis kept visible underneath the layers of pop.

    But why is Roger Taylor higher than Ringo? I love the Beatles and Ringo, but Roger Taylor, in my opinion, can not only sing better, he has a better vocal range AND can play drums, guitar and bass! Obviously not at the same time lol

    • @Fitzroyfallz
      @Fitzroyfallz Před 5 lety +10

      Irrelevant Commenter ringo is a fantastic musician, but the beat in most of the Beatles is a fairly simple one, with a much smaller kit. Roger works with a heavy metal drum kit often so big it's hard to see him behind it all.

      @@Fitzroyfallz Er....yes. Gene Simmons worked in bigger boots than McCartney ever wore ... but does that make him a better bassist? lol
      Seriously now, Roger Taylor seems to be far and away a better drummer, singer and even all-round performer than Ringo. AND that's from a Beatles fan of 5 decades standing - who doesn't really know a lot of the Queen repertoire.
      Any love for Stewart Copeland out there?
