No, I'm not talking about the TV show "Lost".
A little game, here, just lighten things up...
Make your own "Lost" Queen album, using the following:
a) Only solo recordings from the four members, from any of their albums or singles, EXCEPT for solo tracks which appear on Made In Heaven (I have to put *some* obstacles in this game)
b) The run time should be no less than around 40 minutes and no more than around 50 minutes. This is a fairly average window of length for an original studio album.
c) You may use any remix or alternate version officially released, including single edits or extended versions.
d) No "Covers" album, it's too easy, though you may use several cover songs in the "album."
Extra props will be given to tracks which feature two or more members of the band.
Even greater shout-outs go to those who can tie a theme or recurring motif into the "album".
Here's my offering:
Side 1
01) Love Kills (Wolf Euro Version) - FM
02) Love Lies Bleeding (Original Version) - The Cross + BM
03) The Business (Radio Edit) - BM
04) Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow - FM
05) New Dark Ages - The Cross
06) Back To The Light (Radio Edit) - BM
Side 2
07) No Turning Back - The Immortals
08) Foolin' Around (1992 Brown Remix) - FM
09) Good Times Are Now - RT
10) The Great Pretender (1992 Malouf Remix) - FM
11) She Blows Hot And Cold - FM
12) It's An Illusion - RT + JD
13) Driven By You (Pollarded Version) - BM
Here is my idea. Wait, I can't find it now!!! It is truly a "Lost" Queen album.
lol, lost the tv show,
but seriously THAT IS A GREAT IDEA, thank you so much rhyeking for sharein that with us, im gonna do that, it sounds fun and i could do with some cheering up, thanks :)
btw how did u come up with that? did u come up with it or did u find it out somewere? either way that is a great idea, thank you loads for tellin us high-five (hugs)
i know i sound like a bit of a freak at the mo but u just cheered me up AND stopped me bein bored, awesome idea thanks ;)
I was listening to some solo songs that had two or more band members on in. I thought, "hmm...almost a Queen album there." Later, I got thinking about all the solo stuff recorded after Freddie died, wondering which would have made awesome Queen songs if Freddie were still alive and entire band had works on them.
Then I promptly forgot both ideas until I was replying to SirGH's "alternate Hot Space" thread and decided to share the idea with the world.
im putin the songs on the album, this is actualy fun XD can we put them on to a cd and make our own covers cus im gonna do that when im done XD
cool ryyeking, it would be so funny if everyone on Queenzone all got together and made our own Queen album together, we could call it "the lost Queen album, by the Queenzoners" and we could all be famous stars like Queen, i know that wouldnt happen but its cool to imagine ;)
Uh...yeah...
Have fun with that.
When you're famous, say hi to Tommy Wiseau for me.
lol, i was only kiddin XD
cheers
it`s a great idea!!!!

Interesting selections, Florian. Certainly some uncommon tracks in there! Nice to see.
1. China Belle (Bri)
-> To me one of the solo tracks with the biggest Queen feeling.
2. No more Fun (Rog)
-> One of my favorite Roger tracks, I always thought that Queen could have done a better effort with it.
3. Touch the Sky (Rog)
-> Would love to hear Freddies voice on this one, and I think this one is one of Rogers best Queen-fitting tracks.
4. My Love is dangerous (Fred)
-> Great rocker from Fred, though this would suit for Queen as well.
5. My destination (the Cross)
-> Anotherone from Rog with seems also to suit for Queen in my opinion
6. She blows Hot and cold (Fred)
-> Could easily have been a Queen track
7. Dream of thee (Bri)
-> I think this one could have been a popular Queen track
8. In charge of my Heart (Roger)
-> Isn't this one linked to 'Stealin'? I think the 12 minute version of Stealin contains some stuff which endet up as 'in charge of my Heart'
9. Heartland (the Cross)
-> Also suitable for Fred and Queen
10. How can I go on (without Caballé)
-> Love Fred's voice
11. Let your Heart rule your Head (Bri)
-> Follw up to '39
12. Strange Frontier (Rog)
-> Could also have been a hughe on if Fred would have put his hands on it, in my opinion.
I was also thinking about 'happiness', 'new dark ages' and 'what are we made of' but dropped them.
I'm diggin' the various selections thrown out here, so I put a bit more thought into this next list, trying to pin down a "concept". I decided there was plenty of Science Fiction dealt with by the band at different points, the idea was a Star-Wars-ian Space Opera. Make up whatever stories and characters you think fit.
Also, I didn't want it all dominated by Roger's first two solo albums, which are Sci-Fi enough by themselves, so I limited the tracks taken from them. I also tried to keep a pretty interesting flow, sort of telling a story...or at least utilising some nice ebbs and flows.
