  1. Songs that were harbingers for the next album

    Each album from Queen seems fairly distinct to me. However, there was often at least one song from the previous album that in retrospect seemed to hint at the direction that the band was going to take on the next albu...

  2. Best in decades

    While I didn't think it was their best show, it was really good. Amazingly young and multicultural crowd, jamming to every bit of the concert and singing along. Perhaps the main critique that I agreed with about Adam...

  3. Favorite song of each album: Stats ane Summary

    Good point Dysan about the fatigue factor and the knowledge of all songs factor. I took it as a positive that about everyone rated all the albums and hardly anyone stuck mostly to the well known hits. In fact, most of...

  4. Favorite song of each album: Stats ane Summary

    It has been fun to see everyone's list. Given that it has been a few days since any lists have been submitted, I decided to tabulate the results. There were a total of 32 lists submitted. Queen - My Fairy King and Lia...

  5. Your favorite song on each studio album

    I imagine this has been done before, but as a newbie to the board (but not to queen), I was curious about your favorite song on each studio album. Here are mine, though in some cases it was really hard to pinpoint one...

  6. What Queen song(s) have you had in your head today

    We're All God's People. Playing this in my head is about as religious as I get.

  7. What Queen song(s) have you had in your head today

    Yes, Innuendo has a way of doing that!

  8. What Queen song(s) have you had in your head today

    Today I switched over to Misfire. This seemed to have been triggered by some work exhaustion to the point of not thinking clearly, and sure enough Misfire started going through the remains of my brain.

  9. What Queen song(s) have you had in your head today

    I often get songs stuck in my head even when I am not listening to music. It often is a Queen song, which pleases me when it happens. It is a good way to stay connected to Queen and makes the day better. I imagine thi...

  10. Different charts.

    By the way, in recent years all the various radio charts are combined by Billboard to use as the overall radio leaders, which used to be used to count for 50% of the overall Top 100 singles chart along with 50% from s...

  11. Different charts.

    yes, unless you have a specific cultural curiosity. It was interesting to me that ABTD did so well with the black radio listeners with almost nothing else by rock bands did.

  12. Different charts.

    Yes, the R&B/Urban/Black charts are based on radio play of stations that have majority black listeners. There are radio stations in the US that play primarily modern hip hop music that have mostly white listeners, but...

  13. Atlanta, GA — August 22, 2019

    Interesting you mention TSMGO and WWTLF as Adam highlights. I thought those were the two songs he did the best, whereas a couple of the rockers and Killer Queen I thought he was just good enough. I actually can't get...

  14. Atlanta, GA — August 22, 2019

    I respect that some people don't like Adam touring with Queen, but don't get the level of hate here. I miss Freddie so much and he is irreplaceable. That said, the Queen and AL tour in America has been an astonishing...

  15. Another One Bites the Dust - a litlle personal trivia

    Your very welcome. I appreciate the interest.

  16. Another One Bites the Dust - a litlle personal trivia

    A good question. One possibility is it was part of a common trend (at least in the US) that monster albums and singles are often followed by albums and singles that are dramatically less successful. This happened to Q...

  17. Current Setlist

    I really liked their current setlist, but I do wish a couple of songs from their last two albums were included. The way they used the intro to Innuendo to open the concert was spectacular, but it only served to make m...

  18. Another One Bites the Dust - a litlle personal trivia

    Well honestly, I thought they lost their way for a bit following all the success of the two atypical singles from The Game. I was glad for the success of the two singles but was never crazy about them. With Hot Space,...

  19. Another One Bites the Dust - a litlle personal trivia

    I was a huge Queen fan from their first album to The Game. I finally got to see them in Baton Rouge early August 1980 during The Game tour. The band had gotten their first number one single in the US a few months earl...

  20. Queen + Adam Lambert review Los Angeles July 20th 2019

    And yes Holly, I did see the Beatles. My family was vacationing in Rome in 1965, and took me (I was7) to see them in some theatre there. One of my biggest memories of the show was just how piercing the screaming was....
