Which elite singer or elite band is the most universally loved by all?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I'd say Queen and Freddie Mercury.

I don't think they have much haters if any.

Currently I'd say Adele.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Idk I feel Queen are a bit of an acquired taste. I've never really been a big fan although I don't hate them or anything.

I doubt you'd find any band that really fits that description tbh.

 

[TCE]

I have to say the Beatles.

It's pretty cool such a small island on the map produced the Beatles, Queen, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Fleetwood Mac, the Smiths, the Police, the Who, Radiohead, Dire Straits, etc....

You indeed have a point. I think every band has some sort of haters in their corner.

The Beatles I had as my first pick. But I've heard a lot of naysayers about the The Beatles during the years. So I don't know if they are universally loved as Queen, but it's subjective of course.

And it's amazing how many great artists and musicians have come from that small island.

Taste in music is extremely subjective. I think you’ll have a hard time finding a consensus on anybody to find someone to fit the bill as most “universally” loved.

Exactly, it would be hard.

Queen is not universally loved....

 

[Kimchii]

Everyone should know ABBA. Unbelievable that their music continued to have the same great quality even though their respective couples' love lives ended during their high days.

But one song that I have never heard negatively about among my friends with diverse musical tastes is this one.

 

[Thrawn33]

In today's age, there are people who will hate something that is loved just to be different and edgy.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Queen has some absolute fucking bangers and an absolute plethora of great deeper cuts.

I tend to agree with you, TS.

Adele, though, I'm not sure. She was getting hate a few years back for losing weight, for some odd reason.

 

[William Huggins]

Definitely not Adele, after she lost the weight her fat fans got upset.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

How the fuck do you forget Black Sabbath?

Fair enough.

Adele is a weird one, I don't understand the hate for losing weight to get healthy. Weird people out there.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Definitely not Adele, after she lost the weight her fat fans got upset.

Which is strange.

 

[TCE]

How the fuck do you forget Black Sabbath?

That's why I put etc..

There's so many more top bands from the UK like the Animals, the Kinks, the Cure, Oasis, Stone Roses, Snow Patrol, Motorhead, Coldplay, Sex Pistols..

 

[Goon Dog]

And it's not even remotely close.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

And it's not even remotely close.

Great pick.
