The number of their sales in Europe is about 100 milion sales.
Not counting dvd, video and singles. While Usa sales are about 45milions albums.
The same number of sales is for Led Zeppelin in Usa Maybe bigger and 30milions in Europe.
Don't underestimate different Markets, and see Europe sales as big as usa in overall. See them as union than idividual countries.
Check their World wide success in many countries than USA. That means alot about how great and OpenOffice is Queen music, it reaches many different cultures[/QUOTE]

It's not me you need to convince, but them. Then again, in a territory such as Liechtenstein, Nicaragua or Papua New Guinea, it's still utopian to think people will care more about 'Drowse' or 'The Kiss' than they will about 'Dust' or 'Rock You.' I do, and perhaps you do and/or a few others in here, but not even close to what they want for a sizeable market, especially compared to what they can earn by still exploiting the same stuff as always.

I agree with you about general public only know ANATO, but more the GH. But this was a record company choice. Queen adopted and still adopt this choice. Because is easier,faster and with better money results. The last four Queen and Adam Tours were based in this practice.

Also Queen members only accationly speak about their back catalogue studio albums

It's a combination of factors, but certainly not solely based on their record company's business practices.

Queen stopped being an album band by Jazz. It happened to a lot of acts around 1978, largely because FM radio morphed from album tracks to playlists. Advertising revenue became more important than recognizing artistry.

In Queen's case, being exiled and Mercury's gradual alienation from the band certainly didn't help.

I think that the Game, Flash Gordon, Hot Space have solid music and their listening has a good flow.
The music does not match the high artistic standar of their previous albums, but none of the above Lps can characterize the Band as singles artists.
Queen albums since SHA have one or two big hits.

Also Innendo was back to a more artistic side, while MIH is a very solid try. So most of their output is albums with 1-2 big hits.
