is your favorite album the one you listen to the most?

Everyone has their favorites but is that the one you listen to the most? For me I say my favorite record is NOWT and Innuendo but I don't listen to that much anymore. To be honest the records I play the most are The Miracle, Jazz and MIH. I play he miracle a lot in the summer as it has that warm summer feel to me where as in the winter I play MIH all the time as it has that winter feel. Jazz just gets me pumping at different times for whatever reason.

Now for all that said, could a case be made that the Miracle, MIH and Jazz are my favorites instead of Innuendo and NOTW because I play them a lot more? Does anyone have that scenario like me?

I don't think your favorite album has to be the most listened one. For the last 4 years I've been listening to Cosmos Rocks more than every other album and enjoy it a lot. However it is not even in my top 10.

My favorite is Queen II, but I've probably been listening to The Miracle and Jazz most lately as well :)

Even to the point where I made FLAC versions of them for use on my audio player, and changed the tracklisting around on both of them......;)

(The order of the songs on Jazz feels totally random and illogical to me......Queen was usually so good at that.......)

I've always found Jealousy to be out of place in its specific spot on the album. It's a good song but it kind of kills the flow after Fat Bottomed Girls

Exactly!! Not to mention, how do you have any song between FBG and Bicycle Race? And how is LMEY not the opening track?

I found that odd, because Queen got that kind of thing perfect on most albums.....

I'm pretty sure I've listened to Queen II the most times straight through--the way they made those transitions between songs is so cool--and it's not my favorite. Definitely top five, though.

Regarding Jazz, I guess the relative randomness of the track order never occurred to me (probably because there's a LOT of songs on there and many of them are rather forgettable to me). I always took that kind of thing for what it was. Although, I do agree that Queen absolutely nailed the track order on most of their albums.

My favourite album is Queen II but I need to actually 'listen' to it, its not the sort of thing to have on in the background while I do my dusting. I 'play The Game' for that, its a blast from beginning to end, definitely the most played.

Sheer Heart Attack and The Game are the ones I'd say I've played the most. SHA is my favourite.

Insomniac is the album I've probably heard the most often in my lifetime. News Of The World would be second. I'd rank NOTW easily at no. 1 and Insomniac probably around No. 5. (Captain Fantastic, Revolver and Ok Computer are the other 3, in that order, if anyone cares)

After Queen, "next"-the sensational Alex Harvey band, been one of my favourites for 40 years now. Sublime.

"Are going to the party"? "The boston tea party"! remember that one from the fab 70s.

My appologies, should have read: Are you going to the party" ! lol

^THIS is your GERRY/TROLLER/MARK CHAPMAN/LADY GAGA right here. ... a proclaimed "QUEEN FAN" citing THE COSMOS ROCKS as his/her favorite!


This might very well be the anticrhrist spoken of in ancient times!
Track his/her IP address and report this to every agency. Something is amiss! !! A MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE in our midst! !!

Talking from my experience, although The Miracle not many's favourite album tends to be quite listenable.
Its kind of soothing in a way.
At least thats the one i listen the most, though Innuendo is my favourite.

My favorite is Queen II, but Queen II is also a very taxing album. My most played according to Last.FM is Sheer Heart Attack followed by Hot Space. These are more fun to walk to, and I mostly listen to music while walking around. Queen II takes a lot more focus.
