2014; pleased or disappointed?

When you consider how many years we've had with nothing ! This year has been superb, let's not forget Roger's album, which I really like, shame there was no tour ( but where would you fit it in ? ), and didn't the Queen 40 book come out this year ? Next year looks like something similar, we have a Brian single on the way, and that soundtrack album. Phew !!!!!

For a year that rainbow was released, 2014 is a nice year!

Roger's album is lame, sorry but it's a fact.

The Queen 40 book came out in 2011.

That music video is THE most embarrassing I've ever seen. I literally cringe when watching it.

Sorry Roger but your album this year was pretty dreadful. Your other albums are nothing to write home about either I'm afraid.

I was pleased till I saw the tracklist of QueenForever

Apart from "The Rainbow" Dvd 2014 has been a poor year for Queen purists like myself.
2015 does not look any better.
Queen have forgotten there ardent fans and now catering for the new generation of fans
The new album is just aimed at new fans and apart from the new track " let me in your heart again" the rest of the album
is money for old rope especially if you have everything like i have!.

Honestly, I'm generally impressed with this year. Rainbow is probably the second-best thing to satisfy the 70s concert desperadoes (of which am I one, and proudly), it's nice to see Brian back in the public eye slightly with the 'God Only Knows' cover, and as for the QZ'ers moaning about Queen Forever, I have a mixed mind to agree. The fact that it's a compilation does kind of bore me to death. However, such people must take on board that QF is actually the best compilation release since Queen Rocks. Seriously, Forever  has nine album tracks, with 3 of the 9 being bonus tracks of sorts, which I'd say is pretty decent. And even the eleven hits are picked adequately - hell, A Winter's Tale finally gets a shot at the big time, despite it being a Top 10 hit in the UK! Honestly, remixing Freddie's solo material might be a cheap shot, but Brian and Roger have proven that they can do that superbly once again. And I'm with them on wanting their mix of There Must More to be released - Freddie sounds suffocated on the Orbit mix. All I'm saying is that if Brian is to believed about forgotten full songs, then this might be the time to end it all and go out on a moderately high note.

Wasn't sure about the Queen 40 book, but 2011 makes sense duh !! But I still like fun on earth, it was a slow grower on me, but then all Roger's albums are, and there are a couple of tracks I skip, but then I do that with all albums.

I was pleased! Saw Queen + AL 3 times, got Rainbow 1974, and love "Let Me In Your Heart Again!"

Gerry, why don't you just admit that the only thing that would truly satisfy you is if Freddie Mercury was revived, and John Deacon rejoined Queen...

I think the video was fun, actually. The "yeah" at 1:03 is hilarious.

It's a good song - the video is just so cheap!
