Which headline would excite you most....

ii) Queen to release a new 12 track album with all new Freddie Mercury vocals... (no tour)

Unbelievable! "I was merely visiting my home planet Mercury"
Freddie Mercury alive after all!

John Deacon of course.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

Option 2 deffo :-)

The new album.

the new album.. :)

Definitely to see John Deacon playing with the other two.

And definitely not a new album. While this would be a nice thing, if it contains previously unused Freddie vocals, chances are the songs won't be particularly good - or else it would have been released before. So I think it's a no-brainer choosing to see John live again.

Can you imagine the crowd's reaction when, shortly after Roger and Brain appear on stage, the smoke machine does its job, and then John slowly walks on stage?

That would be a real moment, worth 100 new albums with so-so songs which were never deemed worthy of release/reproduction/whatever previously.

I think Queen would sell-out for three nights if John reunited with them. And not the damn O2 or Wembley Arena. Wembley Stadium.

Obviously a new 12 track album with new Freddie vocals is more important than a shitty greatest hits tour with some
tarty singer!
Bring it on Queen!

We're talking about something almost spiritual here. Fuck the singer. It's John, Brian and Roger again.

Good to see a bit of emotional energy being expended. I must admit 75% of the real thing sure beats 50%. But I still would something which included Freddie if it were up to par. MIH was. And the three newish songs off QF were too IMO. Problem is the rest was rehashed classics. Love 'em, but not like that!

"Queen to release 20 disc anthology box set with over 10 hours of previously unreleased music!"

"Queen's singer has risen from the ashes as 'it was just a belated April fools joke my darlings!'"

a new album with Freddie, by far

but even that option wouldn´t feel today as good as MIH felt back in the day. At least to me.

The one and only headline that would really excite me is called "Anthologies" and is full of studio material like demos, alternative takes or mixes, works in progress, etc etc

a ranking of the headlines that would excite me: (going way beyond the scope of the original question, but heck with it!)

1. Queen to release new album with unearthed Freddie Mercury vocals (could be as good as MIH if they did it right!)
1. (tie) comprehensive anthology box set (probably not coming anytime soon, but I can dream)
3. New studio album with Q+AL featuring John Deacon (Spike and Rufus too, why not...let's have an album by an actual band again)
4. 2nd US Tour with Q+AL featuring John Deacon (maybe even if he doesnt want to be on stage for the whole show, he could be the guest bassist, kinda like the Stones did with Mick Taylor a while ago)
5. Brian May solo box set and/or individual albums re-released with bonus tracks (probably the most likely thing out of all of these!)

I would be quite happy for Live Killers to be remastered with all missing tracks included in a nice big box set.

I'd just be happy if Wayne Sleep would fuck off and leave me alone. He keeps hanging around in his long jacket  - telling me the old days of Freddie and Gez, talking about Princess Diana and all that other 'celebrity-hungry' bollocks.
