The Game was Queen's Greatest 80s Album?

No you misunderstood what i was saying which was The Miracle & Innuendo were lazy song writing ability compared to The Game album which was a dynamic Queen album. Sure we know Freddie put everything into his singing AIDS or no AIDS but the other three Queen members song writing on the last three albums was weak.

Roger's songs, Breakthru, Heaven for Everyone, and These Are the Days of Our Lives were weak songs?

I think not ...

... But you must be right as you are the sole "true" Queen fan with a "legitimate" opinion. LOL

Those songs that you mention are not as good as anything from The Game album. The sales of The Game album proves that one.
To appreciate decent Queen tunes you must have good taste in music dears !

The Game only sold more, because the US were still into Queen. After that they lost a big chunk of their fanbase there.
In Europe the later albums were more successful (apart from Hot Space).

Still, The Game is my favorite album.

Nevertheless,
„Good taste in music“ is always subjective. Something you don‘t seem to understand.

Ah, so some of Justin Bieber and Britney Spears’ output is better than Queen then if it sold better than The Game?

CMSDrums That is an unfair comment because these days we have downloads and hype to get albums big sales.
Queens The Game album was pure talent and hard work and they needed no hype because they were genuinely talented.
Justin Bieber and that shower are hyped and pay the powers that be to make them look credible.

Any Britney or Justin song is better than a pseudo-disco or Elvis wannabe song.

Sorry but i am not a fly in your pathetic honey trap lol

No it isn't unfair. Britney Spears was selling albums way before downloads became a huge selling stream.

Plenty of other acts have outsold The Game, not just Spears and Bieber.

So as CMSDrums pointed out to you, judging things on the basis that you introduced to the discussion, plenty of acts have made better albums and are better performers.

And as far as people being hyped. Are you now going to claim that in 1980 Queen didn't have record company backing and advertising to push sales.

happystar just bleats he dosent think, sheer stupidity and couldnt see a counter argument coming if it kicked him in the balls

think man, think

Freddie Mercury was a mediocre musician, vocalist and songwriter. The sales of his 2 solo albums prove that one.

Vocal Harmony: Well you just proved my point you are no Queen fan if you consider other artists better than the band you claim to follow and support.
Always said there is a load of knob heads on this site who do not appreciate Queen especially in there most famous years that they were hot property.
Who are you kidding comparing the likes of plastic pop to Queen are you mad?
A lot has changed in the music industry from 1980 to were Bieber and Spears are now and you cannot compare different generations by sales figures.
You need to buy a book on Queen and educate yourself fella.
Queen - Greatest Hits The biggest selling album in the Uk ever ! And before you have a dig at me for saying that, It says that on the record which is in the shops as i write this.

SKYETV You are obviously not popular on here either are you, as MOOGHEAD has opened up a discussion on you and your bad comments.

Your discussin was about The Game, don't now change albums to Greatest Hits to suite your agenda.

You brought up the subject of sales (of The Game) as proof of how good it is and how good the band were, rather than discussing it's musical merits. When people, me included, pointed out to you that on that basis ( an argument YOU introduced) many other acts have out sold that album ( The Game) and are therefore better than Queen.

The fact you don't understand irony and seem to be inept at holding an informed discussion has no barring on me being a Queen fan. . . .

The truth is in the US The Game sold more than any other Qiueen album, it was also the point where a lot of old fans decided it wasn't Queen enough, not like the 70's. The two singles, ABTD and CLTCL appealed to the mass market, both singles were huge and consequently the album sold to a whole new market., the next album didn't work so well.

Maybe YOU should read some books about the band and record sales in general and make an effort to understand things away from just saying Freddie was the best and Queen were the biggest ban in the world.

Vocal Harmony Do not wiggle out of saying what you said which was "There is better performers than Queen out there and with better albums" You cannot deny you said that.
Any Queen fan would not say anything as insulting as that. You are not a Queen fan and your attitude towards the band stinks.
You are in the music business so you say so probably you are a gutter press journalist by the way you insult everyone on here, think your head and shoulders above everybody else on here with your smart arsed answers eh? Well in my opinion you are no Queen fan so go and find your "better artists than Queen then".

Happystar, Moog didn't open a thread about bad comments he's made some ramble about me being a character I. E he thinks I'm an alter ego. He hasn't mentioned popularity n I'm not sure why you have as my words about you aren't about that rather your ability to state the inane n reduculous without the ability of identifying the obvious counter attack that will come your way. In your attempts to defend yourself you're actually digging a hole for yourself. You need to think on. Also, are you saying that if you're a fan of Queen, you cannot be a fan of anyone else? That's idiotic.
