Queen Beyond the Hits

A rather interesting article:

I'm sure we all have our own recommendations though.

Excellent reading.  I thoroughly enjoyed that.

I thought [i]Good Company[/i] deserved to be included, just for one thing, but I thought it interesting too, to hear the others evaluate the ones they chose.

This is poor. Non Queen fans will be rushing to youtube to listen to the dregs, like More of that Jazz/Fun It/ She Makes Me/ Mustapha/Get Down Make Love etc......

Will do Queen no favours. Where's Sweet Sister/Long Away/You and I/You Take My Breath Away/Millionaire Waltz/etc....

Cool Cat??? ffs!

We are all here because we love the music of Queen, but everyone has different tastes as to what he or she likes. What I thought was interesting about this article was that each contributor explained WHY he liked the song he chose, which made me want to revisit each song and give it another listen, trying to see it in the light of why this person liked it.

Does no one like White Queen? Its been my fav Queen song from some time now, and I think it is so powerful and hard rocking.

Great article

White Queen is adorable.

Oh I'm sorry, I meant to say White Man here.

White Man is excellent too :)

I LOVED Cool Cat. Hell, I loved the entire "Hot Space" album. It's such a shame when an artist can't broaden their horizon because of whiny fans who are afraid of a little change.

As far as I'm concerend anyone who considers "Hot Space" their worst album isn't a fan very much at all!

"It's only a bloody record, people get so excited about these things."

Sorry, but I was a fan of theirs for eight years before the '5 years post Disco Demolition' LP was released, so.....

(side two is OK, but.........)

Moving on............the article was a fun and great read.  Like going down memory lane, with individuals who really knew the band.  Kudos for the 'She Makes Me' and 'Fun It' comments.  Always thought 'Fun It' should have been on side one of 'Jazz', between FGB and 'Bicycle Races'.  Sound and mix work so much better there than it's place on side two. 

The commentators also had such a great way with words.  Well done.

Thanks for the link.

Abslolutely! One of the greatest songs of all time, and everyone ignores it. I really wish that Queen would rerelease it in a compliation. It deserves to be become much better known.
