Obviously they are going with iconic albums that sold well and produced a few hit singles that were accompanied by successful world tours. So if Queen go this route, following the same idea of including an alternate version of the album (a raw sessions 2?) Which album would be most logical?
I would have to assume "The Game." Several successful singles, two of which were Queen's only number 1s in America. It was rumored to have many more tracks worked on during the sessions not to mention some interesting possibilities for a raw sessions CD (Freddie singing all of Rock It Prime Jive for example.
I must say though the one album I would be most interested would be "Made in Heaven" not just for the emotional aspect but just in seeing/hearing how those tracks were put together or which songs were considered and maybe worked on a bit before being rejected.

Going forward, The Game and maybe Innuendo would make the most sense I think. Both in terms of iconic tracks and potential material in the vaults for an interesting release.
Going back, ANATO may be the best candidate. They've got to do something for the 50th anniversary edition, which will happen sooner than Innuendo's 40th.
We are never getting the Anthologies, are we?

Live At Wembley
All of them. It's about time.
Honestly, as harsh as it sounds, considering Brian and Roger's (though, probably, just Brian's) almost pathological fear of having us hear something that they do not consider perfect, and the way they have vetoed interesting material and insisted on making Frankensteinian hybrid mixes to polish up original work-in-progress tracks - I would rather wait for a long time and see box sets put out after Brian and Roger are no longer with us, so that we get to hear the ACTUAL material and not the products of obsessive-compulsive revisionism.
I've really gone off Brian and Roger, as you can probably read from the above.

Opera and The Game probably. I'd love an in-depth look at Made In Heaven as well, but it'll never happen.
Jazz
We nearly heared some demo's from that album.

Im hoping also for something like Innuendo or The Miracle (40 songs)...
Made In Heaven for me. To hear sessions, Studio Chat and unheard Gems would be amazing.
I would probably like to see a combination of Jazz and a Live Killers set given a decent treatment.
I don't hold my breath on these things now...

Totally agree with thomasquinn 32989, seems it will better to wait rather than getting minimal polished material.
Dr Magus.
Excellent work, sir.
Queen, Queen II & Sheer Heart Attack - combined for an early years box across 6 CDs.
Snowball's chance......

Innuendo. They have the tapes with outtakes which was proven last month.
