There's been a lot of singers that have passed away in recent years that I wasn't huge fans of (Prince, for example...I like his songs but never enough to go get a CD of them) but I'd never call him overrated.

I'm looking forward to the biopic about Mercury's life that is either still being filmed or is now in post-production.

In the 90's when I went, it was all about the "…mild mannered, long haired kid in high school with an artistic streak…" I loved that sentence. And the way you ended it with poignant song lyrics.<br /><br />They started before my time, but Queen's music became the soundtrack of my life through college and to this day too.

That's usually just a personal opinion because the artist/music style just isn't your cup of tea or you don't think outside of your preferred music genre. They can be overblown, but "staying power" does not equal overrated.
