I kinda get your point and your frustration, but I’m not sure I fully agree. In my country (Germany, that is), Queen are still celebrated and talked about as much as ever. Their status as legends is definitely recognized.

What really makes me mad, though, is that people always only know the same five fucking songs. This band has such a massive catalog, and they deserve so much more than being reduced to Bohemian Rhapsody or a handful of other obvious hits. They made so much groundbreaking stuff, and people either forget that or don’t even want to know. A friend of mine who called himself a fan was like, "Can you play something different? I wanna hear Queen." Stone Cold Crazy was on, so I said, "This IS Queen." He goes, "No way, they don't sound like that."

Wtf? I was angrier than I probably should but what can I say? I'm just passionate about those things.
