Brian May is all over the place, but he has a tendency only to let it rip at certain points vs playing rhythm all the time. Stylistically, they definitely blended tons of genres.

They don't deserve to be in the same conversation as Led Zeppelin. More like Michael Jackson

Their first two albums are pretty cut and dry harder rock for the time. That said, Sparks are infinitely better as far as their shtick goes

Pretty sure they lean more towards glam rock.
It's pretty much the same thing, the singers just wear more outlandish outfits.

Yeah that. You can't just say it's pure pop like Michael Jackson

It's a 4 piece band, singer guitar bass drums. It's rock

Almost all of Queen's songs have guitar. It's Freddie's piano that is rarer.

Can you list all these songs that don't have guitar?

It's because they don't have the traditional hard rock(or even like, noticeable?) guitar riffs like most of their contemporary bands. Lots of piano and subversions of the genre.

They nearly all have some guitar, often a guitar solo. But nothing like the song driving guitar riffs Angus Young, Keith Richards or Jimmy Page had on every single song of their respective bands. So I get where he's coming from at least
