  1. Queen Ballads CD

    pittrek - Good choices, but you seem to be blurring the lines. I spot some stuff that I (and I'm sure quite a few others would do this too) put in the 'symphonic-proggish-power ballad' category, such as Heaven for Eve...

  2. Favorite Era of Somebody to Love?

    I have no qualms in saying the Milton Keynes '82 version is brilliant - the vocal intro is incredible. But, like I said in another post, for live versions, Hannah Jane Fox's WWRY incantation wins eternal glory, so 200...

  3. Queen Ballads CD

    Very interesting topic. My ballad collection would be something along the lines of: 1. Teo Torriatte (though an edit fading out at 4:40, cutting the Shepard tone. Nothing against it, it's just not 'ballad-y') 2. It's...

  4. Celebrations at the musical

    2011 truly holds a lot of Queen-related anniversaries. 40th of John joining on July 2nd (his first concert with the others), 20th of Freddie's death on Nov 24th, 25th of Wembley '86 on July 12th, 35th of Hyde Park on...

  5. What songs do you prefer live?

    As far as I know, only the 'I reign with my left hand, I rule with my right...' verse of MBOTQ was done live. Of course during 1976 and 1977 the band slipped this into the Bo Rhap medley. Now, songs I prefer live, hmm...

  6. How 'Jazz' got its name

    Sheer Brass Neck - I think you're getting confused. I read that Roger saw a design on the Berlin Wall and used it as an inspiration for the album cover. Correct if I'm wrong, but you very well may be getting your fact...

  7. Queen songs to match movie atmospheres

    Quite often movie soundtracks will have songs that fit the feel of the film as well as song snippets they used on screen. Any ideas on any Queen songs that fit general attitudes of eighties movies? Forget choices for...

  8. Sweet Lady Drumming

    Interesting thread, since Roger himself said the Sweet Lady tracks were some of the most difficult drumming parts he ever did in his whole career.

  9. Remasters Chart Positions

    Pingfah - I see your point, but Absolute Greatest should have really been named Absolute Overhype because everybody's heard those songs a million times (namely Don't Stop Me Now and to a lesser extent Rock You and Cha...

  10. Top songs from each album

    I see people are including solo stuff, which must have slipped my mind at the time. So here are my decisions going down that avenue: Best song from Another World: One Rainy Wish Best song from Star Fleet: Let Me Out B...

  11. Fave Queen songs

    Here are a few recommendations of mine, and luckily they're all singles - my top 10 songs from the band, actually. #10 - Somebody to Love #9 - WWRY #8 - Headlong #7 - Now I'm Here #6 - Seven Seas of Rhye #5 - A Winter...

  12. Top songs from each album

    Having a majority of the studio discography I decided on a favourite song from each album (these choices are heavily drawn from my top 50 Queen songs of all time, but pushing that aside...). I'll leave the list and se...

  13. Party...Queen's worst song

    Brian-Harold-May - I agree that Rain Must Fall has a good groove. It should be praised more. But My Baby Does Me has never really appealed to me. It's one of weakest spots on The Miracle if I'm completely honest. The...

  14. Remasters Chart Positions

    Personally I'm surprised any Queen material is charting in today's musical world. So I'm overjoyed that four of the reissues have even scraped into the top 100.

  15. Party...Queen's worst song

    jonnypkmn168 - I must heartily disagree with your top choice. Each person has their own opinion and I respect that, but Now I'm Here is one of THE guitar anthems of the 70s and a sheer classic (pun intended here becau...

  16. The Seven Seas Of Rhye (Instrumental)

    Quick question: Is this refering to an instrumentalised form of the Queen II version (2:50 in length) or the half-written Queen I take (1:07 in length)??

  17. What Should Be the Opening Scene In the Upcoming Freddie Biopic?

    How about a scene of Freddie in Holland Road the night after Live Aid. He looks at his old block of flats with a look of nostalgia on his face, and sings 'been here before, a long time ago'. Then a pig falls from the...

  18. Queen biopic casting

    Apart from Sacha Baron Cohen for Freddie, does anyone know the cast for the upcoming biopic? I have some ideas of who I want to play the other Queen members, but like so many hardcore fans' dreams it'll probably never...

  19. embarrassing songs.

    Rick - Are you serious? Lost Opportunity is embarassing? I very much disagree. I think it SCREAMS emotional blues! Brian sings in quite a heartfelt manner I think and in my opinion it makes the song come straight from...

  20. Is A Night At The Opera In the shadow of other great bands albums Of the 7

    Sir GH - I reasonably surprised you don't know the guitarists' names, but I guess you wouldn't if you don't know their bands, so I will give examples. Suzanne Vega did guitar on her own records since she's a solo arti...
