    I don’t think Roger Taylor would agree with you that he has been “used” by Queen. He has written some of their biggest songs and is a great singer too! I have so much respect for Queen even if I don’t like all their music, just 4 guys banging out classics all day long, no backing tracks or hidden young people filling out the sound. Late 80s stadium Queen is just so powerful - strongly recommend watching their live in Montreal concert film, it’s so impressive.

    I agree the Beatles are overrated though, I’ve never understood the sheer number of people even today who think they’re peak. They’ve got some good tunes but yeah… snooze!

      I don’t think they meant “use” with any negative connotation. I’m curious. Had they said “utilized” instead would that have read better to you?

        From a purely grammatical perspective, yes, utilized would be a little bit less pejorative than used. But I still think Roger Taylor would object hehe
