This is just fantastic news. A new Greatest Hits collection. I can't wait! I've already marked it on my calendar, because from this moment on, I will live and breathe to see the release of this new fantastic breathtaking greatest hits album by the most uncompromising band ever.
If only Queen would expand into other walks of life, so us devoted fans could buy all of our daily necessities as Queen products. Queen deodorants, breakfast cereal with authentic Brian May-hair in it, toothpaste, toilet paper. Now I'm being forced to buy brands that in no-way display my unconditional love for Queen. I just hope I live to see the day that I can live Queen to the fullest. Long live Queen.

In addition to this new compilation I would love to see the band celebrate their 40th Anniversary by releasing all of their studio albums again. This time, I would love it if the packaging would be replicas of the LPs and include special bonus tracks (such as interviews with Bri, Rog, and Deaky [yeah right] concerning the production of the album). This might also replace a huge anthology box set. Perhaps each album could come with a 2nd disc full of rarities of that particular album. Oh, and let's not forget about enhancing the sound quality(especially their debut album and Jazz). Of course, this is all but a dream!

I don't care about chronology (and if you did, tracks 3 & 4, and 8 & 9 wouldn't be that way round!), but both SSOR & FBG were bigger hits than DSMN. If you're putting TATDOOL on then BR belongs next to FBG.

I knew that when I said something about chronology someone incredibly smart would point out that my list isn't 100% chronological. I know, dude. I don't care that much about order, but some sense in the order would be nice.
And I put DSMN in there because it's more well-known than FBG and SSOR. I didn't look at highest chart positions.

:) maybe you can try papering your walls with the covers of all the many re-releases of Greatest Hits collections.
What are they thinking? The original albums are difficult to get - they have to be ordered from Queen or online somewhere, at least where i live, as none of the music shops sell anything except Greatest Hits 1, 2 and 3, and now Cosmos. If they re-released them, they'd be more accessible to people. People might actually buy them, as only fans will bother ordering them. If people see them, they would be more likely to remember liking them as a kid and get the album.

[QUOTE][b] This will be the first one to include tracks from all three GH albums for the first time here in the UK.
And although Queen are not essentially a 'singles' band.....they have always been known as an album and live band foremost......the singles have done exceedingly well over the years, not just with the fans but also with radio and TV, so this compilation is aimed at the general public who will buy this album as a reminder of all those great hits that have been around for most people's lifetime.[/b][/QUOTE]
Greatest Hits 1 is one of the most sold album EVER. Greatest Hits II also has sold huuuuge quantities. And the Platinum Collection has been a major seller too. No way that this collection will sell thousands of copies. The general public already has BoRhap, WWRY and AOBTD - probably multiple times too! This collection will most likely go down the same road as Queen Rocks did - enter high in the charts because all the fans will buy it for their collection and a couple of weeks later it's gone. And I though Queen Rocks was a pretty nice idea - until the tracklist was changed to include more 'hits'. Would've been great if some of the tracks on the original proposal were kept - like the remix of TYMD!
Now more serious - I can understand that QP wants to release commercial products which appeal to Joe Public. But I've got a feeling that this will mean that the Hammersmith Odeon project which has been announced a couple of weeks back will be pushed back to 2010. Don't wanna flood the market!

If ths competition ends up the same way as the Q+PR 2008/2009 prize draw then nobody ends up with a prize!! Where are the prize winners of 11/2008 - 03/2009?

Isn't it generous of them to do this again? I mean my 20+ years old copy of GH1 is still so playable, obviously I need another one. [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]Fucking tossers. I really don't understand the logic of this. [/QUOTE]

I wonder if Brian will get TYMD on this one. I think I read somewhere how he wished he could of got it on one of the other GH albums, but as it only charted at no.31 at the time of release it made it ineligable for inclusion. However, people forget it was alaso a double "A" side with NOBY in '98, and that reached no. 13... so you could use that as the reason for including it this time around. It's famous enough in it's own right to be included now I reckon.
