Every die-hard fan is as sick as hell of the constant compilations by QPL - it's the same old stuff, over and over... etc. So I propose an idea which I think will appeal all the fans on Queenzone. An exclusive 14-track CD, with one track representing each studio album from Queen I to MiH - for me, Flash Gordon is a soundtrack, so it's out of the picture! Here are my fourteen tracks. Submit your own lists and see if they match with my list. And NO Hollywood remixes or bonus tracks (which sadly means stuff like Mad the Swine and SWAFIB and the adequate-to-horrible dance remixes are forcibly omitted) - the vinyl pressings are the track lists you need
Queen I - Doin' Alright Queen II - Seven Seas SHA - Stone Cold Crazy ANATO - '39 ADATR - Millionaire Waltz NoTW - We Will Rock You Jazz - Fat-Bottomed Girls The Game - Don't Try Suicide Hot Space - Put Out The Fire The Works - It's A Hard Life AKOM - Friends Will Be Friends Miracle - Party Innuendo - The Show Must Go On MiH - title track

Let me get this straight. You're complaining about Queen releasing the same stuff over and over again - and then propose to compile a set with previously released stuff?

I say 'submit your favorite song from each album' list (or your top 20 or......)
oh....that's been done a dozen times or so? Sorry.

There's nothing wrong with your topic. It is actually quite hard to choose...

Any Queen fan knows that Queen have 15 studio albums. You can't disqualify "Flash Gordon" because it's a soundtrack.

If it's hard to choose, narrow it down then... NO tracks that were released as UK singles or B Sides!
Great King Rat March Of The Black Queen Stone Cold Crazy Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon The Millionaire Waltz Fight From The Inside Dreamer's Ball Rock It Dancer Machines One Year Of Love My Baby Does Me Ride The Wild Wind Mother Love
Yeah, I'm not including "Flash Gordon" either, nor am I including "Cosmos Rocks", depsite the FACT that it say's "Queen" on the cover and is an official Queen album.....

Er, it's 16 actually. As far as QPL are cocerned, "The Cosmos Rocks" counts, regardless of whether some people on here don't like it....

Pim Derks - I wasn't entirely clear. I meant constant greatest hits compilations. You'll notice my list has a few album tracks. Now hopefully you might get the point. Also check the initial post, since it said might please Queenzoners. That means it's open to criticism

9 of those are already on Hits comps lol
That aside, isn't this what the "deep cuts" albums are getting at?
No matter how you dress it up, it would just be another re-hash of something we already have.

I did the US Greatest Hits from 1981 with five tracks that were US singles but either missed the Top 40 or flopped:
Another One Bites the Dust Bohemian Rhapsody Crazy Little Thing Called Love Killer Queen Fat Bottomed Girls (single edit) Bicycle Race Under Pressure (was on original US and Canadian issues) We Will Rock You We Are the Champions Flash (single mix) Somebody to Love You're My Best Friend Keep Yourself Alive Play the Game
---Bonus Tracks--- Seven Seas of Rhye Tie Your Mother Down (single mix) It's Late (single mix) Don't Stop Me Now Need Your Loving Tonight Under Pressure (1992 remix for Classic Queen)
Greatest Hits II (US version as I imagined but following Classic Queen mold with songs that were US singles)
A Kind of Magic Body Language I Want to Break Free (single mix) Hammer to Fall (single mix) Innuendo Breakthru Calling All Girls Radio Ga Ga I'm Going Slightly Mad I Want it All (single mix) Princes Of the Universe The Miracle These Are the Days Of Our Lives One Vision (single mix) It's a Hard Life Headlong Who Wants to Live Forever (album version) The Show Must Go On

@ NOTWMEDDLE
I didn't really understand that last post of yours.... is the point of this post (silly as it is) not about having a compilation of the more obscure stuff instead of yet another hits collection? Yours is a hits collection, with bonus tracks of yet more "well known" material. Don't you think another hits one kinda defeats the purpose?
