These bands made songs which were overblown for the sake of being
overblown. Some of them committed the fatal crime of mixing opera and
rock... an absolute no no. Some of them made albums around stories
which made no sense. Their lead singer dressed up in ridiculous
costumes some times.
And above all all these bands made very very inconsistent albums with
4-5 good and 3-4 genine crap songs on single albums or 10-12 good and
6-8 on those double albums with stories. And most of these continued
well beyond their peak to unfortunately inflict more pain on the
audience. And most of all, all of them sucked in the 80s, 90s and 00s.
(from most to to the least)
1. Queen
2. Roxy Music
3. Genesis
4. Emerson Lake Palmer
5. Jethro Tull
6. King Crimson
7. The Who
I chose only the mainstream ones here.

aka: All of them, including Yes, PF and LZ. Jon in his PJ's and Chris
in his
"Butterfly" deal would certainly have admited them to any mainstream
gay/tranny bar.

Poxy Music was mainstream like Peter, Paul and Mary were punk.

Queen was never boring. No one with a voice like Freddie could ever be
called "boring."
I nominate The Partridge Family, the Tony DeFranco Family ("Heartbeat,
it's a Love Beat") and the odious Osmond Bros. who are still
performing in Branson, Missouri. Who is paying for tickets to watch
these guys?

You really think The Partridge family were "pretentious?" In what?
They never appeared on a single public stage. More like
"pretend-tious."

...
Queen were definitely "pretentious" on occasions, "overblown for the
sake of being overblown", they mixed opera and pop, and "dressed up in
ridiculous costumes". I agree with all of that.
But, um, that's why I like them, and they're second only to The Beatles
in my personal list of favourite bands. Takes all sorts, doesn't it?

That's funny Raja, pretentious, boring and overrated are the exact
word that I use to describe you as a person and the words that I use
to describe your pretentious, boring and overrated lists.
Now fuck off.
