View Full Version : The Champions Vs The "Young" One!
Right.....here it is.....the big question of 2005...........this is the only way it can be resolved.....
Queen.....or Cliff Richard?!
Before voting, please bear the following in mind:
Only one of the above holds the records for most performances at Wembley and the NEC and the fastest sell out at the Royal Albert Hall.
Only one of the artists sends people round with bacon sandwiches for those people queing up for tickets.
Only one of the artists is credited by The Beatles as being an inspiration.
Only one of the artists has had chart hits in the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's & 2000's (Elvis holds this distinction as well)
Only one of the artists was credited by parlophone as inspiring them to sign the Beatles.
Only one of the artists has been the number 1 cinema box office draw 2 years running.
Only one of the artist has had the biggest selling official calendar for 10 years running and has never been out of the top ten calendar sales list!
Only one of them was banned by the BBC as being "too sexy for british TV"
Only one of them imported Britian's first Fender Stratocaster
Only one of them inspired a craze for badges sported by Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, BRIAN MAY and eric clapton.
Only one of them has sold more singles than any other UK artist.
Queen have 26 albums totalling 190 million sales, cliff has over 60 albums and the stopped counting sales at 250 million!
I could go on like this all day!

anyone would think you're trying to sway the vote ;)
I wouldn't dream of it!!
And for the benefit of the person who ahs just collared me on messenger, NO, none of us can in any way view who has voted for who.
And also for their benefit I promise not to threaten to ban anyone for voting for Queen!! They will have to suffer enough by having to live with their conscience!!
:shock: breath Chris, breath...;)
Sorry,
i was just caught up in trying to remember if any member of Queen wa named int he poll of the Top 100 Greatest Britons of all time!! I don't think they were!
Steady on Chris ..... you've missed the cardinal sin. Just look at how Sir Cliff's name has been spelt in the poll! :lmao:
Diane
I noticed - she is young, she shall learn!

I did it on purpose :twisted:
I would also like to remind you all that Queen just rock....plain and simple! They kick butt! I don't need to give you all reasons do I? :-P

Sorry Chris, but I'm definately with Heli on this one. She's right, Queen ROCK!
no doubt it's got to be queen ,hands down
besides you could never do this to a cliff song
INDIAN CURRY RHAPSODY
Naan, just killed a man
Poppadom against his head
Had lime pickle now he's dead.
Naan, dinner's just begun
But now I'm gonna throw it all away.
Naan, ooh, ooh Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back from the loo by this time tomorrow
Curry on, curry on
Cause nothing really madras.
Too late, my dinner's gone
Sends shivers down my spine
Bottom aching all the time
Goodbye onion bhaji, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and use the loo.
Naan, ooh, ooh
This dopiaza is so mild
I sometimes wish we'd never come here at all.
(guitar solo)
I see a little chicken tikka on the side
Rogan Josh, rogan josh, pass the chutney made of mango
Vindaloo does nicely very very spicy
Meat!
Byriani (Byriani)
Byriani (Byriani)
Byriani and a naan
(A vindaloo loo loo loo)
I've eaten balti, somebody help me
He's eaten balti, get him to the lavatory
Stand you well back
'Case the loo is quarantined
here it comes
There it goes
Technicolor yawn
I chunder
No!
It's coming up again
(There he goes)
I chunder, it's coming back again
(There he goes)
Coming back again
(up again)
here it comes again.
(No, no, no, no, no, no, NO)
On my knees, I'm on my knees
On his knees, oh there he goes
This vindaloo
Is about to wreck my guts
Poor meeee... poor meeee.... Poor MEEEEE!
(Guitar solo)
So you think you can chunder and then feel alright?
So you try to eat curry and drink beer all night?
Oh maybe, but now you'll puke like a baby
Just had to come out
It just had to come right out in here.
(Guitar solo)
(slow bit)
korma or dopiaza
bhaji, naan or saag
Nothing makes a difference
Nothing makes a difference
To meeee....
(Any way the wind blows.............shshshsh)
:-P :-P :-P :-P
:lmao:
Oh my!! Poor Chris! :twisted:
Btw I love that Curry Rhapsody! :lmao: I heard it a while back!! Sooooo funny! :mrgreen:
I think "Congratulations" might be in order but "Never Mind". It looks like "Nine Times Out Of Ten" people have gone for Queen but I am quite happy to be "The Voice In The Wilderness." We Cliff fans have to put up with this sort of thing "Constantly." In polls like this "Somebody Loses" but I don't intend it to be me just yet because "You Never Can Tell" and I "Never Say Die"
So "C'mon Everybody", "I Get the Feeling" that there must be more Cliff fans out there so "Please Don;t Tease" and "Help It Along" by voting for him instead of leaving the "Batchelor Boy" "High & Dry."
There's "Nothing Left For Me To Say" and "I Can't Ask For Anything More" but I would be happy for just one more vote because "When Two Worlds Drift Apart" "Some People" are left "Needing A Friend" and that is "All I Ask Of You". Becasue whoever is "The Winner", "Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay" and we shouldn;t take the vote too seriously as "It's All In The Game"
Now that has got to be worth at least one vote????:cool::cool::cool:
Its Gotta Be Queen Although I Did Love The Young Ones On Tv
Chris....i don't need a full paragraph of Queen songs, telling you about the results of the poll...but i'd just like to say that I knew you'd be "The Loser in the End" :twisted:
:lmao:
(But we still love you Chris! :mrgreen:)

:shock: Yeah and we non-cliff fans have to put up with this sort of thing.;)
I'm curious do you have the new cliff calender yet? ;) cos i heard an angry mob of wimbledon/queen fans torched the warehouse:twisted:

No I don't have the Cliff calendar. However I know at least four members on here have pre-ordered theirs!
And yes you probably did hear about a group of angry queen fans - they probably realised by just how much Cliff merchandise out sells Queen merchandise each year!
:lmao: !!!! Muahahahahahahaahhaha
I don't know what you are laughing for - Did the postman call at all today? :twisted:

:roll: aaah but one could argue a true fan doesn't need merchandise to appreciate great music :whistle:
Looking at a poster of Cliff doesn't seem to make him sound any better ;)

Although it's tempting to vote for Cliff just for the hell of it, I have to go with Queen. Besides, any man who turns away Sue Barker, is reason enough not to get a vote.
Pud :twisted:
Ooooo!!! Who's the other cliff fan here?? :mrgreen: Or is that just Chris playing about with the poll edit button?! :-P

No I have not edited the poll - there are more cliff fans on here than you might think!!!
(to the other person, thanks for the support hun!!)
The comeback begins....

It's probably a sympathy vote
Pud :twisted:
It's probably a sympathy vote

It's not because the person is genuinely a Cliff fan - all being well we will be meeting up (along with the rest of the Cliff fans on here) for the "Something's Going on" tour next november!

I don't mind Cliff at all, I probably wouldn't go and see him live, but I don't mind him. I think the poll is a little unfair though since thier music is completely different, perhaps a Cliff v Daniel O'Donnel poll would 'out' the Cliff fans.:D
Pud :twisted:

Now there's a dilema :mrgreen:
Well, it's only because Chris is convinced that Cliff is better than Queen. For weeks we keep having digs at each other and i thought it was about time I put it to rest.
Plus Chris bet me that if he won then I wasn't allowed to mention queen on the forums for the whole month.....if i won...vice versa! :mrgreen:
It's a good job Chris has a cunning plan to win then isn't it!!

Is there an end date to this poll? When do we get to know who's won?
End of December.
If Queen win, then i do not mention St Cliff for the whole of January. When Cliff wins, Heli does not mention Queen for the whole of January.
How about adjusting the word censor for a month? :sneaky:
I might!!!
Although I do notice the Cliff movement is gathering support!!!

LOL! ......yes Chris......yes it is.....:lmao:
Right i will admit defeat.
I will also keep my word and honour the bet i had with Heli and I will not mention Sir Cliff on here for the whole of January. ;)
hi chris
I thaught that the tour of Cliff Richard is called"Here and Now"
I was the third voter and
You're right!
"Here and Now" is this tour - "Somethings going on" is the album!!

You just broke your promise Chris - you mentioned him, and your post's dated 1st January....... I think the forfeit should be that you can't mention him during February either :twisted:
:lmao: I bet i could think of a worse foreit than that :twisted:

We have WWRY playing in Auckland later in the year, unfortunately Auckland is in the North Island and I live in the South Island and won't be able to see it :(
Any new news on when Queens brand new studio album will be released?
Pud :twisted:
Oh Pud, theres no way you can see the show??! MiG's in it isn't he?! I'm sure he's by far the best Galileo there is. You'd love it, I think!
As for Queen's studio stuff...I don't know much, but they filmed us a message from Rogers studio for the convention....so they are definitely in the studio....but whenever it's release I have no clue. Whenever they finish I guess.
Also, a few of us got speaking to Jim Beach (manager) and he basically told us to start saving up, don't do anything yet until the end of the year as there will be a tour early '08 and it will be the last thing they do like this (meaning Q+PR). So I know what my student loan is going on next year :mrgreen:
