Good post. But I think having the most no. 2 shits would be a better record for the band to hold.
I always told people Queen was the shit......but that's not quite what I meant.........:D
Re Radio Ga Ga, it didn't need much help, I remember it went straight in at no.4, it didn't follow the pattern of slowly climbing the charts and gaining popularity, that's because, it was one hell of a song !
...........and another no. 2 from Queen.!
Bloody Frankie.

Fras444 where abouts in NZ are you?
In Greece the attitudes go like this, in "popularity" order:
1)Saying you are a Queen fun is like saying you love listen to the radio. Queen don't give you an identity as if you would say " i am a Pink Floyd fan".
In peoples minds they are/were an entertaining band who did a little bit of everything so they are classified as something like a juke box.
2) You are into classic rock, and thats cool OR you are into art/progressive rock and thats even cooler.
3) You occasionally get the weird eye as saying you like Pet Sop Boys/George Michael.If they focus on Freddie there is some tention.
"He was great, but he was gay, but he had a great voice, but he was a fag...etc"

I have been a Queen fan since being 11 years old,i never worried what anyone thought about that.Sure some people called Freddie names about sexuality,i learnt at an early age not to judge people on their sex taste.As far as i can remember Queen were played as much as anyone else on radio 1 in the 70s, dont know bout the 80s as i did not listen to radio 1 then.Kenny Everret played Bo Rhap to death on its release.As far as the music press they did give Freddie a hard time and so he stopped doing interviews with them.
Queen have never been a guilty pleasure for me, always been proud to be a fan, and at the moment Queen's stock is as high as it has been for years ! The fan club is in undated with new memberships ! Its all good :-)

Post of the WEEK.
I love this.
MERCURYMAN12: Yes i know without the Beatles many artists would not be around today, but Queen are more talented and gifted
than the Beatles ever where, for they were known to be the most intelligent rock group ever, with all there professional qualifications,
and they have achieved so much more than the Beatles.
Queen were innovators of the highest degree.
Freddie mainly got Queen into the publics conscience with his flamboyant performances
and as you will be aware he designed the Queen crest.
He knew what he wanted and how to get it, If he never came on the scene i think Brian & Roger would have gave up as "Smile"
was going no where.
