t. I also found out from an extremely reliable source last week that there's another full Freddie vocal on another song that I was surprised to know existed...my source doesn't want to be named but he's confirmed it was done in the spirit of democracy within the group.

Hmm..........what song???

[/QUOTE]

Marc, could you tell us what's the name of that song ?[/QUOTE]

Sure....it seems Freddie didn't just sing the bridge on "Sail Away Sweet Sister" but gave a full performance just as he did on "Rock It" . Then had a vote as to how it should appear on "The Game"
I'm hoping it'll surface in the future.

Sail away sweet sister with full Freddie vocals ! Nice, I too hope that it'll surface in the future along with Rock It.

Wow freddie on "sail away sweet sister" is awesome and he would have made it better than Brian any day.
Just like when Brian done vocals on "Too much love will kill you" Freddie's version was much better.

Queen blow Floyd out of the water, so this is a ridiculous thread.,
mind you inu-liger has crap tastes ha ha !

Obviously I prefer Queen to Pink Floyd, that doesn't mean that everything Queen have done is better than everything Floyd have done though, that would be stupid talk. Nor is it a forgone conclusion that Queen material will be more successful than Floyd material, or that it will be better produced. So this topic is a perfectly reasonable question.

It's fairly plain that Pink Floyd have produced a lot of music more impressive than this piece of shit Freddie & Michael track, the new Pink Floyd single being one of those pieces of music.

It's almost as though you didn't actually read the topic at all, and just chose to randomly spam the thread with nonsense insults instead.

Queen have achieved so much more than floyd could only dream of.
furthermore Queen are a better polished classier group than pink floyd.
you can label floyd as progressive rock in the 1970s but you can not label Queen
because they were impossible to label as they can do many many things floyd
just would not touch or go there.
Queen have done: heavy rock, punk rock, ballads, pop, mock opera,
love & romance, disco, etc....... a very versatile group.

Freddie would be superb singing that I'm sure, but it's one of Brian's greatest vocals to me, so out of his entire Queen vocal catalogue it's one I would be happy to keep. Brian's delivery gives it the 'tenderness' and emotive edge required (all in my opinion of course).

Of course they are. You think these are controversial opinions to a bunch of hardcore Queen fans?

None of this addresses the questions posed by inu-liger though, which are quite reasonable.

I'm still waiting for Queen to make any type of movie, let alone one with Sir Bob HOSKINS in. so Floyd wins in that department.

Erm...Pink Floyd have done most of those things as well. Also, while variety and versatility are nice, what really matters is the quality of the music. Queen is my favorite band and has released some of my favorite albums, but Floyd have also released some magnificent albums, particularly Dark Side, Wish You Were Here and Animals.

How much Pink Floyd have you actually listened to?

Have you ever noticed when ever there is a poll asking what is the greatest band of all time,
the top 3 is always Queen, Beatles and Led Zep.
Where is Pink Floyd?
Pink Floyd are one of those obscure prog rock outfits that make 15 min tracks
and weird music that goes on and on and on............ boring yawn yawn....
Give me: Boston, Thin Lizzy, Status Quo, even Twisted Sister.........

this post alone shows what an ignorant dolt you really are. this has nothing to do with taste - those can vary. just simply the actual ignorance in your post

If you exclude Greatest Hits albums - Floyd were not a singles band - so this is not a fair fight. Let's compare the worldwide sales of original recorded works.

Queen - ANATO - 4.3m
Pink Floyd - DSOTM - 22.1m

Queen - The Game - 4.7m
Pink Floyd - The Wall - 17.8m

Total (claimed) Album Sales :
Queen 200m (this included Greatest Hits)
Pink Floyd: 250m

"Obscure" - no
"Boring" - no
"Weird" - no

bless you Gezza, and your wonderful imaginary factoid world.

Brenski: Queen album sales are over 300 million fact.
Abba come second to Queen,
look at your own spelling doit should be "idiot"
silly boy.

He called you a Dolt, not a Doit.

And nobody who has sold over 200 million records can possibly qualify as obscure.

You actually may be the stupidest person on the internet. I'd joke that you could count your IQ on the fingers of one hand, if I thought you actually could count that high.

I always skip Sail Away Sweet Sister. Those lyrics combined with May's shaky tenor... yuk!
