Where do you rank Comos Rocks?

SO we have nearly all had a chance to listen to it a few times, how does is compare, and one other thing they decided to leave a track off to put Runaway on which one would it be?

For me this is a great album, back to the rock free I love, so I put this one pretty high

I guess for me it would go

NATO
DATR
Sheer Heart Attact
NOTW
JAZZ
Innuendo
Q11
Cosmos Rocks
Made In Heaven
The Game
AKOM
The Works
The Miracle
Hot Space
Q1
Flash Gordon

I feel strange about Q1, I hardly ever listen to it but there are tracks I love, yet I would never rate it very high for some reason.

I honestly don't know yet. Its still so new and exciting that its hard to be objective because I'm listening to it all the time(because its new). I think this would be a question better asked in a couple of years or so when you can compare how much you listen to it in comparison with the other albums.

But I definitely think its by far the best studio album ever done by Queen and Paul Rodgers! He He..

I think its pants if I'm totally honest. Not impressed at all.

Well that is certainly totally honest! I love the term pants, use it myself a lot but not to describe The Cosmos Rocks which I think is pretty darn good. The name however IS totally PANTS

You've got it about right there - although I thought Q1 was brilliant in it's own way.

Do you really think they have 5 albums worse than Hot Space?

I don't rank this album in that line because it's another Queen, not the 4 guys we used to know but half of it with a completely different style you can't compare it. It's different and although it's not my Queen anymore it's is just a good rock album

In just a bit over 10 years of writing in Queen Forums I've never ranked all the albums but I'll give it a try now.

This is all personal taste and it may vary according to my mood.

A bit of my reasoning behind this list (in case anyone cared)is that I tried to give as much importance to the enjoyability factor of the album as well as the overall quality and "Queen-genius" factor. For instance:

- I rarely listen to Q2 but I placed it high because I know it's a damn good album, a masterpiece.
- I'm loving the Cosmos Rocks and I enjoy it greatly but I am aware that, while a good album, it is not a masterpiece like ANATO, Q2 or ADATR. That's why it's not rated very high.
- Hot Space was the first album I had after Greatest Hits (I got it as gift at the same time as ADATR) so I am very fond of it.

Something like this, varies from time to time of course (with solo records)

Queen 2
News of the world
The game
A night at the opera
Sheer heart attack
The Miracle
A kind of Magic
Made in heaven
A day at the races
Jazz
Innuendo
(Back to the light)
Queen 1
The works
(Another world)
(Strange frontier)
(Mr Bad guy)
Hot space
(Happiness)
(Barcelona)
(Fun in space)
(Starfleet project)
Cosmos rocks
(Electric fire)
Flash Gordon
(Furia)

Taste! It's always good to read each one's list.

Mine with Cosmos Rock:

News of the World
Hot Space (+ Freddie's solo work)
The Game
Jazz
A Day At the Races
Night at the opera
The Works
Sheer Heart Attack
Miracle
QII
QI
Cosmos Rock
Innuendo
Kind of Magic
Made in Heaven

That's it. :-))

I think it ranks somewhere between Heathen Chemistry by Oasis, and Fun In Space by Roger Taylor.

Not much of a Queen connection in there (THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A NEW BAND, RIGHT?) so there's no point in raking it in comparison to Queen albums, is there?

My list, again with Solo efforts in (brackets)

Innuendo
A Night At The Opera
Queen II
Made In Heaven
News of the World
Sheer Heart Attack
A Day At The Races
The Cosmos Rocks

(Happiness?)
Hot Space
A Kind of Magic
(Strange Frontier)
