Worst 3 films ever....
1. Pirates of Carribean 1 (Because Johnny Depp can't act at all, and that's just one of my reasons) 2. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Depp again, and Tim Burton's remake shit on Roald Dahl's grave) 3. Avatar (It d...

Top 50 Albums
I've posted a few lists on here, and after a long arduous process, I got the fifty best albums that have had an impact on me. Eighteen of the fifty are on Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums, and six Queen albums make it. So...

Is Queen a 90's band..?
Obvious answer to the original post? Not really, no. But just to pitch my two cents, I've always thought that some Queen tracks really are timeless - the members really didn't leave an 'of-the-time' mark on a lot of t...

Queen Forever
Fleshing out largely-instrumental jams - i.e. Robbery, or Face It Alone - in the way Another Little Piece of My Heart was fleshed out into Let Me Live sounds like a good idea. A lot of people like to pick out the so-c...

Songs you would have liked to listen with Freddie's voice
Now THIS is an imagination's springboard... well, here are my candidates: Dusty Springfield's minor disco club hit 'That's The Kind Of Love I've Got For You' Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs' would've been nice in the early...

Unexpected song structures
Just pondering over some planned Queen karaoke, and I started to think to 'what tracks have odd structures'? Obviously Bohemian Rhapsody is one - I mean, look at it. It's not verse-chorus-verse at all. It's acapella-b...

Your must-have non Queen song - only 1
'Daydreaming' by Dusty Springfield - there's nothing like the White Queen of Soul rapping verses and then singing choruses... bliss!

Your Own Funeral Choose THREE Songs (another spin-off, spin-off thread)
Honestly? The Coral's 'In the Forest' when the coffin's brought in, an instrumental of The Doors' 'Break on Through' when the vicar does the eulogy, and Pearl Jam's 'Alive' when the cremation happens.

Syncing movies to albums.
It's a lot simpler than the electrode studies idea - you just have to be instinctive and know both the album and film very well. And you don't have to be stoned to do it either.

Your favourite Queen song lyric and why - only one please
Only one? Damn, there go my many choices... but I'll probably have to choose "You call me sweet like I'm some kind of cheese" from 'Sweet Lady' - classic Queen humour but it's also laced with true bitchiness underneat...

how recent is this photo of john?
Bit weird for John to comment that he hasn't played a bass since the Freddie Tribute - I would've thought that MiH and No-One But You definitely counted for him! And GODDAMN he's aged worse than Roger by the looks of...

Syncing movies to albums.
We've all heard the 'Dark Side of the Moon matches up to Wizard of Oz if you mute the film' palava, but personally I just adore the fact that the third Eminem album (Marshall Mathers LP) matches up to the second Aladd...

MERCURY film -- what do YOU want out of it?
I've already put my two pennies in on the premise of the film being made on another thread I penned, but in seriousness, to ask what I want out of a potential film about the band? Hmmm... I want a good storyline that...

queen as a album and where it ranks in everyones top queen album list
Personally, Queen I is easily in my top five albums by the band, clocking in third. The whole first side of the album is raw as hell, with Brian's guitar work going here, there and everywhere - the proto-metal of KYA...

Unreleased material
Wiley, 'My Boy' popped up on an unofficial compilation called 'Lullabies with a Difference' in '98 - maybe that's how you got your assumption about Brian's voice? And as an answer to your question, many sources conced...

Unreleased material
I was listening to a clear version of Silver Salmon, and this got me thinking 'what full or nearly full songs from each album's sessions are avaliable?' Here's what I have so far in terms of clear studio bootlegs, set...
