Lots of bits and pieces, but mainly I wish they had saved their solo careers until after Queen finished. If a lot of the solo songs they worked on were given the Queen treatment, we (probably) would've had better quality albums in the 1980s, double studio albums, better b-sides etc. I also wish they wouldn't have relied so much on synths in the 1980s. It made them lazy. Can't imagine Brian making the work of genius that is 'Good Company' in quite the same way if the 'no synths' policy wasn't operating.

Folks, gotta get over the negativity about the endless compilations. Once a band splits, someone dies, they quit, whatever, the compilation is the main method of keeping the existing music recycled. It's pure marketing. Nothing more. Not everyone is the dedicated fan that we purport to be.
"5. Release Live Magic, when they could have just as well released the Wembley show in its stead in 1986."
Marketing again. This was at a time - which is kinda still there - that double albums simply didn't sell big.

1. Leotards
2. Between-song banter like "You lot of old tarts", "were gonna do something in the funk, black catagory", "We were gonna have an oechestra" etc etc. Just sing already.
3. Kashoggis ship, Party, Hitman.
4. The video for Backchat
5. Those awful mimed performances in San Marino

For me, things like leotards and "old tarts" are the whole fun of Queen :)
Angeline · Member since
The video for Backchat is hilarious - but I thought it wasn't released at the time, no? Surely they've done worse things...

1. Not keeping so much of their old, unused material, both songs and video footage.
2.Rereleasing Greatest Hits innumerable times instead of pushing their original albums more.
3. Changing names of different releases of the same thing - there are two live in Rio dvds with different names and different pictures on the covers. I looked at the newer one and there is no indication that it was remastered or anything, seemed to be exactly the same.
4. Bonus material on dvds could be more unique - one dvd has about 9 tracks of a concert in Japan, which is great, but there were only 14 or 15 tracks in the release of the Japanese concert, meaning that you're stuck paying for intro, WWRY, WATC and God Save the Queen and only a couple of others if you get the Japanese dvd.
5. tempted to say TCR, but I am glad they toured and I like bits of the album, I don't wish it hadn't been done, I just wish it had been done differently.

Obviously, The boxsets is right up there. What the hell are they waiting for?....Queen productions isn't even talking about the boxsets anymore. It's gonna be at least another 5 years.

I am just talking about Queen as Brian, Freddie, Roger and John and not about the time after 1991:
-Playing Sun City
-Releasing Hot Space
-Loosing interest in the USA
-Releasing Pain is so close to Pleasure as
single in the US instead of a kind of Magic
-Too many pop songs in the 80s
Togg · Member since

Produced themselves on News of the World
Recorded Body Language
Given up on the USA

(Only my Opinon) I have seen SO many thread's critizing Queen and their music!
I'm Sorry but what is the actual point in this thread?? Queen have already done what they did & you can't change it (aka the past!) THINK about it if they had'nt of made those "mistakes" or "bad songs" mabey everyhting about them would be different mabey they woudl of been a bad band! :-O, they learned from their mistakes & atleast they were experimental some things worked other things did'nt (just like with all bands)
Why dont u discuss your favourite Queen songs ect nstead of beinf so darn negative about Queen
