Is it somehow wrong that I love the movie Bohemian Rhapsody yet I'm really not that big a fan of Queen?
I mean their music is alright don't get me wrong. But I loved the movie itself more because Freddy Mercury had a very interesting life. Plus as a gay man myself I can really appreciate a true story of another gay man who had a very successful life and was well-loved.

I guess you like other bands more than Queen. It's a matter of emphasis, really. It's not like you actively dislike Queen (which would be okay, too, by the way).
I like Queen----but I like many other bands much more than Queen.
AC/DC is a great band----but I don't like them all that much. I like Led Zeppelin much more. And Black Sabbath.

I honestly think I'm more into old pop music than rock music.
Some of my favs were "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cindi Lauper, "Sweet Dreams" by The Eurthmyics, "Call Me" by Blondie, "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls, "Down Under" by Men At Work, "I Touch Myself" by Divinyls, "Push It" by Salt and Peppa, etc

You're pretty much an 80's freak LOL
I like music from the 50's to the 80's mostly. Even before the 50's---like swing and jazz. I've liked some more "modern" sounds, though.
Lol yes, ironic considering I was born in 1990.
I also like some of the songs from the 60's and 50's too.
Here are three of my favorite oldie classics.
"Heatwave" by Martha and the Vandellas
"Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass
"Mashed Potatoes" by Dee Dee Sharp

Some Zeppelin fans don't like "Stairway to Heaven"---but that's one of my favorite songs.
I find Sabbath to be raw heavy metal at its origins. Without all the accoutrements and excesses which occurred later on in the genre. I remember thinking that the mere mention of Black Sabbath was taboo at some dinner tables; they were seen as being a satanic group.
I ran around to "Whole Lotta Love" right before I was called in to watch the Moon landing at summer camp.

I grew up listening to the 60s songs which Twizty posted. "Mashed Potato Time" I heard a little later, though, when I was a tween/teen, in the 70s. "Rescue Me" and "Heat Wave" I heard on the radio in the 60s.

My cousins saw Zeppelin at Earls Court. I've seen Ozzy twice. I love Ozzy! Especially his ballads! What an amazing voice.
Gotta go! Have a good day folks!

In case I am doomed to only hang out with guys and tomboys I had to dig up my gender neutral interest. My interests are primarily girly. I’m not counting on meeting women on the spectrum who love sophisticated and feminine things.

Later Issy!
I can't wait to move back to Georgia. It might be in a couple of weeks!
...but I'm going to have to share a bedroom with my brother. And his bedroom always looks like a pig lives in it.
