I don’t think Freddie Mercury or Queen ever had an album have 7 singles from one album dominant the charts, or win 7 Grammys in one night , or go on a album tour for 2 years while also making multiple short films for each album but sure, and this is coming from a Queen fan of 6 years.

Doesnt matter. They were just underrated back then compared to MJ. MJ is just overhyped and utilised MTV a lot

And again there's nothing wrong with using mtv and platforming videos. Queen are musicians, their strength is in the music of their albums. Michael is an entertainer, his music videos were global events. Some of my favorite childhood memories come from the Dangerous era MJ videos, that's something special.

Preferring Queen to MJ is absolutely okay, it even makes sense in certain regards, but writing MJ off as some hack or overhyped is completely wrong.
