I agree with Lostman, i don't want to talk like a crazy fan, i am usually very critic with art, i this case, with music, but i love every bit of the history of Queen (they could film more gigs, anyway), they only band that give me the same reaction is Muse.
From other bands i like some songs but hate others, or simple i ignore them. But every song of Queen is enjoyable in some aspect. (At least till the Cosmos Rock, but thanks to that album i saw live Brian & Roger)

I see we have similar taste :-)

There are too many good songs for it to be a bad album - 4 or 5 strong tracks for sure. But the filler is awful, and it doesn't flow at all. And if you look at the Magic tour setlist, it's clear that they weren't pushing a new record.
[QUOTE]The Miracle is a terrible album with 4 good songs[/QUOTE]
Nah, I think you're being too harsh. All the Queen trademarks are there - great arrangements, great songwriting, experimentation with new sounds, and a bit of genre-crossing. I don't think there's a single bad track on it, but it's not nearly as consistent as Innuendo.
I don't get why some Queen fans don't like Party, but they'll like Staying Power or Mustapha.

At the end of the day, these are the great Queen records:
Queen II
SHA
ANATO
ADATR
The Game
Innuendo
These are the ones that offered something unique for the average fan of music to be aware of. Everything else is in second place or worse.

Sorry but Hitman, Delilah, All Gods People, Slighlty Mad?
Innuendo is inconsistency personified

Of course, it's all just a matter of opinion...I love Queen 1 a lot more than Innuendo, but I also love Innuendo..they're just different.
Any early Freddie vocals should be regarded as precious, imho.
I surely wouldn't say Hot Space or AKOM are bad albums..I truly don't understand those feelings..but hey, to each his own.
When you can have two tracks as different from each other as 'One Year of Love' and 'Princes of The Universe' on the same album, you've got something special going on. (even with the 'bring on the girls!' Freddie bit).

Delilah is the one weak track. Brian's cat sounds offer a bit of saving grace.
But the rest fit the record perfectly. To each their own, of course. I think it flows perfectly well. The fact that it was a collaborative effort clearly shows.
pittrek · Member since
The only good thing about "Delilah" is Brian's "meow". The rest of the record would be the PERFECT album if it had some bass and heavier drums. Don't get me wrong, I love the album, but it sounds like recorded in a tin can or something, very strange thin "metallic" sound - I have no idea how to describe it properly but I'm sure many of you know what I mean

Of course its all opinion, all the tracks I named before from Innuendo are so weak they shouldn't even have been there...
Apart from The Show Must Go On, Innuendo is very ordinary. People rave about the title track but Queen just tried to make Bo Rhap part 2 and failed. (Or I guess if they wanted a number 1 single from a new album they won... but I just cannot remember the last time I heard it on the radio.. or saw it on a compilation.. or an article about it in a magazine.. or in a top 10 list.. etc..etc..)

I see we have similar taste :-)[/QUOTE] I guess your favourite Queen era should be the 70's, shouldn't it?
1. Hot Space. Back then the Hot Space tour used to be in the end of the list of my favourite Queen tours (I mean all the tours from 1973 to 1986). I didn't enjoy watching Milton Keynes 82. But now I've completely changed my opinion. It's one of my favourite tours. Looking at the whole album itself, all I can say is that it's a great album. Of course, there are some albums that I like more but each album is awesome in its own way, and Hot Space is not an exception.
2. The Works. It's a great album as well. It has only 9 tracks and I love each of them. Songs written and performed in different ways. This is what makes this album unique. Radio Ga Ga, It's A Hard Life, I Want To Break Free and Hammer To Fall - they are the best from the album, but the songs left out of the above list are also amazing. Man On The Prowl always reminds me of Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
3. A Kind Of Magic. This is my favourite Queen album. It also has only 9 tracks, and all of them are awesome! I adore each song from the album. I'd never dare say it's a bad album. This album is just perfect. - One Vision is an awesome strong, powerful track; - One Year Of Love is such a beautiful love song; - Friends Will Be Friends is an awesome friend song (I always can't choose between FWBF and You're My Best Friend); - Who Wants To Live Forever is one of the most amazingest songs I've ever heard!!! Nothing else I can add here; - Princes Of The Universe is a great powerful track by Freddie. The songs I've left behind are also great but I've chosen to show the best things of the album.
4. The Miracle. I do love this album but when I listen to it, it starts to make me feel a bit upset, bearing in my mind Freddie's health and that there wouldn't be any more live tours. It does have great rock tracks, as well as pop ones. I Want It All is a great example of a great rock track. As Bob said above, I also don't get why some fans don't like Party (and Khashoggi's Ship as well). They are two great tracks, and there's nothing not to like in them.
5. The Cosmos Rocks (as I call it The Cosmos Fucks). I don't like it. That's all I can say.
Having said that, it's just my personal opinion. Everybody may be disagreed with me. But here are just the thoughts of a typical Queen fan.

I would add "Queen" album... maybe i like it for personal reasons... but is wonderful, i like all the songs (even modern times rock and roll) and the artwork is (i know maybe i´m crazy) one of the best of all queen albums...
the only bad thing maybe is the Quality of the mixes... but well... is the first album and they didn´t had much money

I agree with MERQRY, all you'd need to add to that list is the debut album.

To be fair, remember you're talking about the band that created Bohemian Rhapsody. Pop songs will be recognized here and there, but any attempt at coming close to BoRhap again is bound to end up in second place in just about everyone's eyes.

I agree, it is. But try to separate yourself from Queen fandom for a moment, and look at the albums in the grand scheme of things. Each band has 2 or 3 albums that tell the majority of the story, i.e. their contribution to the evolution of music. It doesn't mean they didn't create any more great records, but every artist does have their creative peak.
For the Beatles I'd pick Revolver and Abbey Road. For Yes it'd be Fragile and Close To The Edge. Zeppelin I and IV. Pink Floyd - Dark Side and Wish You Were Here. Genesis - Selling England and Lamb. For Queen it's Sheer Heart Attack and A Night At The Opera. I see Queen's first two albums as groundwork - ideas that would be developed and perfected on SHA and ANATO.
