It's amazing that my (admittedly crap) attempt at humour in the opening post has resulted in a 3 page discussion :-)

The average Rock fan don't really know how heavy Queen were at times, That's why I like this thread. I like playing Great King Rat to people who only know the hits. That song reminds me of Maiden before Maiden exsited, Orge Battle with those halford style screams before Priest were doing it.

I got my scales out and surprisingly the heaviest Queen song is Lily of the Valley weighing in at a hefty 7.3 metric tonnes![/QUOTE]
Actually Moog, Nevermore comes in slightly heavier at 7.4! Check for yourself.
(I have a ton of time to waste today, and nothing better to do.)

Brighton Rock, Son & Daughter, Father to Son, It's Late, Soul Brother, See What A Fool I've Been all very heavy. Prob Brighton Rock shades it for me.

Dead On Time is the heaviest IMO

For single heaviest song I'd have to go with Father to Son. That solo section just crushes.

Great band, and they can be really heavy.

Every Maiden album released since 2000 is better than most of their albums in the '80s. Fight me.
Also while '80s Queen does have a lot of stuff to like as a whole it's just so much worse than their '70s output. '80s Queen doesn't "suck" necessarily but they're not all that great overall. Innuendo and Made in Heaven, on the other hand, are great.

Not that surprising. There's much else to talk about these days.

We have to disagree on Maiden, i tried liking the new Stuff 2000 to the new album, but it's not happening for me. All their new stuff sounds the same, those long boring intros. Lacks energy as well. Then put on Killers, heavy and raw with that youthful energy. I do agree on Queen, I like Innuendo and Made In Heaven better than their 80's stuff.
