I'm pretty sure If he had been healthy Queen would have split up.

Happystar - in terms of music, yes Hot Space is more fun and uplifting. I get why you think Innuendo is dark, but the way I see it is that it's beautiful. It's Freddie saying goodbye, and the fact that his vocals are so strong is testament to the man, who worked right up until his body could take no more. [/QUOTE]
That's why I love Innuendo and to a lesser extent Made In Heaven...The party eventually ends for all of us and we're dealt with real life issues. As we older we could relate more to songs like slightly Mad, Don't Try So Hard and TSMGO or the deepness of Innuendo compared with Staying Power and Dancer.....so the darkness is what makes The album beautiful...It's called reality.

I'm trying to make the reality of Hot Space last as loooong as possible :)

Lol, yea, Jazz, The Game and Hot Space are fun albums when you feel good and have that fun party feeling. That's what I love about Queen, they have songs and albums that fit whatever mood your in, or where you are in life at a particular time...some bands, like Grunge are mostly about the dark times, so that's why I only like a few of those bands. I like bands that mix it up, obviously Queen did that.

Strangely the opposite is true for me. I like bands rather than genres - I'm more of a 'I'll listen to so and so today' rather than 'I need something uptempo' or 'sad'. That said, 'Queen' is pretty much a genre in itself.

Myself, I like pieces (or songs or numbers or tunes or ditties) rather than bands/soloists/duos or genres/styles/fusions.

Surely the point of art is that it is irrelevant how 'successful' it is, if it touches you in some way. One of my favourite ever albums is by Alexander Robertson, who was previously Brian Robertson and went on to become the successful B.A. Robertson. It's called Shadow of a Thin Man and sold about 200 copies worldwide.
After News Of The World and A Night At The Opera it's probably the 3rd most played album in my collection. I love it, very few people have heard it and the truth is most people who did hear it would think it was terrible. But it touches me and if Hot Space touches you then fair play. I haven't played HS in years, it is possible I will never listen to the whole album again. My Queen weird crush is side two of Flash Gordon. I play that loads.
