Would you change anything about any Queen album?

Sir GH wrote: Queen - leave it alone
Queen II - Loser In The End is the only weak track
SHA - leave it alone
ANATO - sheer perfection
ADATR - leave it alone
NOTW - replace Fight From The Inside with a Queen version of I Wanna Testify
Jazz - scrap Fun It in favour of... a better song
Game - add another Roger track later used for Fun In Space, and have Freddie sing all of Rock It
Hot Space - Soul Brother instead of Action This Day, scrap Body Language, and shift around the track listing
Works - scrap Man On The Prowl in favour of a Queen version of Man On Fire, and one more song as it's a short album
Magic - lots of filler... write better songs, or do a Queen version of something from Mr Bad Guy or Strange Frontier
Miracle - I Guess We're Falling Out instead of My Baby Does Me, Hang On In There instead of Rain Must Fall
Innuendo - perfect, other than Delilah.  But let the man have his wish.
Made In Heaven - perfect, considering what they had to work with

how about love kills instead of man on the prowl for the works,  and man made paradise, love me like there's no tomorrow instead of pain and pleasure and don't lose your head.  Freddie and his solo album hurt Those two albums.

CHANGE....a QUEEN ALBUM????

u all must be crazy to pose that topic...

the only one i think had some relevance was a "rearrangement" of THE WORKS. (their weakest album IMO)

The addition of the film versions of WWTLF and AKOM....and that NEW YORK NEW YORK bit (collectors edition or something)

COSMOS ROCKS:

SCRATCH (omit)

the cosmos rocks and Still Burning
(or AT LEAST get rid of that GMC truck commercial style songwriting... the lyrics are sooo corny the lyrics REALLy really bring down the strength of a lot of the music)

Remix WARBOYS... i've heard a better DEMO from PR.

and cast SURF'S UP SCHOOL'S OUT... into the deep abyss...

...FOREVER.

it's awful.

maybe release it as an EP. ;)

oh...and get roger to write more songs on it.

....maybe something he'd thought of while stumping his foot on a table or something.

Everything else is GREAT, guys.

BEYOND great... craft like... amazement.

Like for instance, i made up my own depiction of their eponymous album:

Keep yourself alive
Doing Alright
Great king Rat
Mad the swine
My fairy king
Liar
Polar Bear
The night comes down
Hangman
Son an Daughter
Jesus

As much as i love Modern Times rock n, roll and Freddies idea that he would end the first album with seven seas of rye, then begin the second with the finished version. I chose what i think would of made this album more of an instant classic, even though i love it just as it was released, i feel like they could of added more songs. Perhaps even Silver Samon. What do you all think? Anything you would change about any Queen album of any sort?

OH and one more IMPORTANT thing.

REMOVE FRED'S MOUSTACHE FROM ALL ALBUM ART 1981-ONWARD.

(it'll make all my stuff an instant collectible)

I love all of Queens works! This website gives people freedom to ask questions, and have discussions on any topics relating to Queen. I just asked a hypothetical question to anybody out there that had their hypothesis on this topic.
I'm sure everyone fantasizes about Hangman, and why it never made any of Queen's early studio albums.
It doesn't mean I can physically changed what is already set in stone. They released what songs they felt were finished and well suited for an official release. This thread was for my own personal pleasure. I love reading other peoples thoughts and ideas. On that note, i could also be seen as a sadist. Cause if this thread is causing anyone pain or excruciating suffering, i'm quite content with everything. In fact i'm relishing in it all :]

Queen are genuises, bottom line, and i agree with whatever decisions they made.

Brian and Roger should have destroyed the tapes after recording "Hot Space".

I have a playlist on my mp3 player for my version of Queen II, Loser in the end is replaced with Dear friends and Funny how love is is replaced with Lily of the valley. Would be nice to have a segue in to Lily of the valley from MOTBQ though. These changes as you all know will make it MAY side white and still keeps MERCURY side black. The reference to Seven seas and Rhye in Lily of the valley is a nice link to the last track. Maybe this track was meant for Queen II but they could not fit it in !

cheers

Dave

That's a truly interesting observation Dave. Both Lilly of the valley, and seven seas of rye refer to Freddies make believe world "Rye." The only problem is Flick of the wrist segues into Lilly. And i personally love Freddies little homage to the Beach Boys Wall of sound. I'm just content with the way both Sheer heart attack and Queen II were made.
