Below are two quotes that mention Queen:

"Well, first, by releasing - re-releasing - a concert which I saw for the first time last night, and I was staggered by it, because I caught glimpses of people, and I remember registering Queen as being phenomenal, and they'd never swum into my musical ken before then, really, and, as Midge said, and as Harvey said, there were, I mean, all the people I remembered being on but I didn't remember the quality of music as being so excellent."

"...And if you're interested in Busted you must refer to the Beatles. If you're interested in The Darkness you must refer to Queen. If you're interested in Coldplay and that you refer back to Radiohead or Pink Floyd or any of these things, you know, it's one line. And the point that Midge made: it's music. The job of an artist is not to have a social conscience, the job of an artist is to create good art. You only fail if you create bad art. You may as well say, do carpenters have to have a social conscience? Just fix my fucking door, you know? (Laughter) And, er, so anyone who got up at Live Aid and did a shit job, you know, fuck off. As Midge said, they clearly understood that what they had to do was perform. The incredible thing about Live Aid is that something else happened. It wasn't that they were informed by this great emotional moment, it's just that they played over and above what they were... I mean, Roger Taylor and Brian May couldn't look at the thing last night. Roger was in tears. They never have, they never did, perform as great as that day. Freddie just decided he owned the world, and he did. And so for those children who don't know Live Aid, I don't care. Are you interested in Mick Jagger? Are you interested in Bob Dylan? Are you interested in David Bowie? Are you interested in Queen? If not, fucking stop pretending you're a rock fan, you know?"
