I'm not a massive Queen or Freddie Mercury fan by any means, but go to Google and click the big play button in the middle of the Freddie Mercury doodle. Audio is recommended - it's pretty damn impressive.
I think I'll call it Gaygle from now on!
Got a different favourite Google doodle? Post it or it didn't happen.
Edit: Just found the last Google doodle thread - the Pacman one, and yeah, that was pretty cool.
Edit: Here's the video, just in case anyone can't view it...
Wow, Didn't notice the play button, That is awesome But otherwise pacman

Queen weren't hugely popular in the USA. As if further proof were needed that they have absolutely no taste!
Freddie was simply one of the greatest performers and front men the world will ever see. That man had more talent in his little finger than every 'artist' currently producing music, combined.
I'd pitched up at work for a 05.00 start to the sound of Queen blasting from the intercom, and every stereo in the building. One of the night-shift guys broke the news that his death had been reported overnight. Everybody in the building, including me, was devastated. We played nothing but Queen for a good week after that!
RIP Freddie.

Personally I prefer their older music (Everything up to Minutes To Midnight I believe). Mike Shinota is what made them different and now they aren't as good as they once were because he left. Chester isn't bad at singing but I think the combination of Chester and Mike is what made them who they were. After he left their genre took a hard turn and started to change, and soon they blended in with everyone else Making them now nothing to me.

Linkin Park whines about crap too much. What you need is some Slayer or Anthrax. Perhaps some good, old Bad Religion, Desendants or The Dead Kennedys. That'll put some hair on yer chest.

and you cant really base your musical tastes on an article that someone else wrote? if you need someone else to tell you if a certain song or genre is good or bad music then you might as well not listen to music at all.

that article is a load of crap, it says you need no musical talent :s im pretty sure it does, ive been producing music for a while now and its easily as hard as playing an instrument, i also play the guitar so i can talk from both sides of the argument. it isnt easy to do what a sound engineer would do to your track but from your bedroom. i also had to learn the piano so that i could work on my midi keyboard with chord progressions etc, it takes years and years of fiddling round on the computer and learning chords and scales before you can even make a half decent track.
Oh! I thought all music can be your favorite

Hey XDA,
I just made The Binary Huddle league on Yahoo, so if anybody wants to join here's the link.
-Autodraft
-No dues
-Flex spots (including WR/TE/RB/QB)
-Fun scoring
This is a casual league to have some good fun with a little smack talk. If you're an extremely intense fantasy player who feels that you should be paid as much as the players for what you do, this probably isn't for you

Me, too. The whole Skrillex and Deadmau5 excessive wobble is horrible music. It's not even music. Most of it has no melody at all. There is good and even great dubstep out there. Mostly it was the stuff that had been around for years before those two asshats hit the scene. I truly don't get the whole wobwobwobowobwobweeeweeeweeewobwobeoooeooooeoooeooowoobowoobobwoob ****. Look at Nero. A relative newcomer to EDM, those guys make good music. It's the kids who don't know good music and want to be cool and different that are driving this microwaved turd up in the charts. I don't get it.
Nero is the tits, that's for sure, I saw him at Identity last year it was crazy! The only person there who put on a better show was Chuckie. I've always been attracted to the more Agro sounds no matter what genre. When I was really young and listened to rap it was Three6 (back when they made good music) and UGK. Then I moved on to rock and it was Zombie and Manson. Now that I listen to EDM it's Skrillex, Deadmau5 & Knife Party. I understand why some people don't like it, most of the time it's because their ears are old lol. I don't need a melody just anything that makes the hairs on my neck stand up, that's definitely Skrillex. Also his music videos are awesome. The little girl and the pervert. Santa taking pills and getting into fistfights. The hoodlums robbing the ice cream truck and growing up to rob the jewelry truck. I have a bunch of hippy friends who like EDM but they listen to all that slow hippy crap too. They ask me how I listen to EDM constantly and I tell them their slow hippy crap puts me to sleep.
Edit: hell now that I think about it there is more wobble in any of Nero's songs than in Deadmau5's songs. Allot of times I have to hear a Deadmau5 song a few times before I really enjoy it cause most of them are so damn slow.

Let me ask you. Do you even know what dubstep is? Where it came from? Who started it? It's not something new. Been around for many many years. Good music. Comes from a genre of EDM I like, DnB, from London. It's the recent **** that is just that, ****.
Look, there's plenty of people that like bad music. Look at sales for Nickelback. Does that make me judgemental cause I say it's bad music? Nope. Cause the fact still stands, it's bad music.
It's something new to you and the rest of the kids that like it. That's all. Skrillex is a fad. A cancer. And whatdaknow, he got it. Literally. I feel just as bad about his plight as I did when I heard Jobs was getting sick. Bad people ruining a good thing for people who don't know any better
