Freddie Mercury-Send In The Clowns

this is the 200-th reply:)))) whats the subject now?

The irony that by far the most excessively rude person in this discussion, with the possible exception of myself, is YOU did not strike you when writing that post? You are by far the greatest contributor of swear-words (although regrettably unimaginative ones - and 'nosey beak' is just plain ugly, style-wise) to this discussion, you are constantly "slagging off" others and telling them to "shut up", "get lost", etc.

And you're supposed to be a mature, middle-aged adult who is "clever too"? Alright, then act like it, you unseemly product of the unholy congress between a half-crazed ant-eater and an inbred Visigoth (see? that's a creative form of abuse).

I take it you mean inalienable when you write insatiable? A Freudian slip perhaps, and very telling at that. I don't doubt that you honestly believe what you write about not picking fights and being a nice guy, but reality differs. You take any difference of opinion anyone has with you as a personal attack, and you come across as forcing your opinion on others. When literally dozens of people on a forum notice the same flaw in you, you might want to consider looking into it and seeing whether there isn't perhaps some truth in it. Spoiler: there is. You may not mean bad, but you are extremely pugnacious and very easily inflamed.

Still wondering why Jim solled that supposed personal tape. Money?

Yes, people need to stop being nasty to you. But if you want that to happen, YOU must also stop being nasty to other people. Like I said, you have a tendency to burst into a bloody rage at the least provocation. That's not just unpleasant for us, but also for you, not to mention unhealthy. Like you say, people and things "get on [your] nerves" rather quickly. That may partially be their fault, but not wholly so.

Neither do you. I'm going to stop this conversation here, because this is getting nowhere - you flat-out refuse to see that you are just as complicit in this as anybody. I would have expected better of someone with as much life's experience.

The Works and Hot Space better than Innuendo? Seriously? I cannot see that, even putting considerations of personal preference aside. If you like the Queen-sound, which I assume you do, I can't see what would tick you off about Innuendo. Sure, it could have used better production in some places, but songwriting and playing are excellent! Hot Space, on the other hand, sounds so bland throughout, like they had already given up on it halfway through the writing-stage. I think that Hot Space and The Works could be made into one good album, but half of both are filler.

It was more consistent, at any rate. There are definite highlights on all '80s albums, but they contained much more filler than the '70s work. Innuendo on the other hand contained very little filler IMHO, but in many ways that goes for The Miracle too. I do think Innuendo is leagues better than The Miracle, but that is simply a point of opinion. By more or less objective Queen-standards, though, The Miracle and Innuendo are far superior to Hot Space, The Works and A Kind Of Magic.

Ok, I see my views are diametrically opposed to yours. I guess you consider music as primarily revolving around vocals? I prefer the instrumental aspect of music myself. Still, if that is the case, on the basis of that fact and your remarks about the "fun" sound, it seems it's really the production sound of Hot Space you prefer over that of Innuendo, not the actual songs or albums.

There was a poll by Classic Rock Magazine asking what was peoples fav Queen album and Queen2 came out tops followed by A night at the opera,
and innuendo and made in heaven were at the bottom![/QUOTE]

Really ? I'd like to see this poll.

Made In Heaven is by far the best selling Queen album in the UK, and that's where this magazine is based.

The Show Must Go On isn't classic Queen?

It's better than anything they did after Under Pressure.

I like Hot Space (probably more than some people), but c'mon - Innuendo is the stronger album compared to it!

I like Hot Space, The Works and A kind of magic, but Innuendo is their best album since the 70's....

^ quite possibly.


But hey, people are funny. My aunt likes Wings more than The Beatles.

I like all the Queen catalogue from Queen until Made In Heaven, but to me, the weakest points on the catalogue are Hot Space, The Works and A Kind Of Magic.

I like that albums (probably more than some people) but Innuendo is better than the mentioned albums. Innuendo have better lyrics, better instrumental and more emotion. When I hear Innuendo, I don't think in AIDS, Freddie died, pain, sadness.

The album isn't as bright as the rest of the albums, but beside that, to me is their best Queen album since the 70's.
