Is the OP the same bullshitter who made claims that the Game album was supposed to be a double album and other unsupported shite?

^ Yes, he is. I would never forget that name...

What a crap post. Not even worth arguing with this poster. Talk about being a troll...

Yup. And the Beatles died in 1962 too.

I love history lessons.

Ultra-negationism: the Germans never existed!

I'm no expert on Queen and their discography, I'm just a fan. I particularly like the mid to late seventies period when they did Night at the opera, Day at the Races, News Of The World, Jazz. Most of the classic hits and albums come from that period. However there were some good songs and albums before that, and certainly after that as well. I think its fair to say that as makers of classic singles and albums perhaps one could say 1974-80 was their peak, least filler, most iconic singles. But to simply write off the rest of their career after 1981 is silly and misinformed. You could say that for your money, you don't care for their work after 1981 in the studio, but millions of people do, and ten million people can't be totally wrong in this case.


I really like a few tracks here and there on the last five or six albums. I ike the stand alone tribute single Only The Good Die Young, almost as much as anything they ever did. Although I think Paul Rodgers was a terrible fit for Queen, I like several Cosmos Rocks tracks a lot, the ones that sound more like Queen and less like Paul Rodgers. Hard Rock and Blues is everywhere, I don't Queen to hear one four five progressions not really, But those signature May guitar sounds and styles, those unique Queen group Block vocals, listen to Cosmos Rocks again, those block vocals are stamped like fingerprints all over Cosmos Rocks. Queen is Iconic, their entire career is worth study and a place in history, wait for the new songs, tell me you aren't moved after you hear them, and I'll get back to you, meanwhile take a couple aspirin and chill

I actually found the collaboration refreshing. Three legends with nothing to prove, and just enjoying themselves. There are definitely 4 or 5 great tracks on there sporting the classic Queen sound.


As for the original post - I can see where they're coming from. Creatively, 1982-1988 was not Queen's peak. Every artist has a lull. But unlike most, Queen still had hits in theirs.
