Quotes
[on Queen] A dreadful group. They were neither Led Zeppelin nor Bowie (David Bowie) and they played that middle ground in between. Punk rock didn't come around because of prog rock or anything like that, it came around because of Queen. ABBA, Queen and ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) - that was what people were trying to move away from. You can find everything Queen did better elsewhere.
