The Game was Queen's Greatest 80s Album?

It always irritated me when I'd read comments around the AKOM period that 'rock' wasn't selling. Do it right, and it will sell.

Exactly - as examples across a wide range of the 'rock' spectrum, 'Slippery When Wet', 'Invisible Touch', 'The Final Countdown' and 'Master of Puppets' kinda prove that point.

Thistleboy1980: I dont argue on here, "vocal harmony" does that and my discussions and threads are pretty decent after all everyone is debating the topic of MY thread. Yes his replies are his opinion but when he changes his mind as to what he said in past threads that makes him a hypocrite.
I will repeat myself one last time Yes it is fine if other people have other favourite artists, i have but what i do not approve of is people slagging Queen off as a band like Vh when he said there are better artists out there than Queen. That is offensive to me as a 44 year old Queen fan.
Hope you understand that because i am not repeating myself again.

You said - Those songs that you mention are not as good as anything from The Game album. The sales of The Game album proves that one.

cmsdrums said - Ah, so some of Justin Bieber and Britney Spears’ output is better than Queen then if it sold better than The Game?
(meaning by the standards you (happy) are using to judge songs selling more means they are better.

You said - That is an unfair comment because these days we have downloads and hype to get albums big sales.

VH replied - 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.

(Meaning that as I already stated, using sales as a barometer of talent would mean Bieber & Spears etc are better artists) Clearly not true and clearly what they were all trying to tell you using the irony of your comment.

If you don't get it after this I give up.

Rockchic disregarding the "sales" argument here Vocal Harmony also said there were better performing artists out there than Queen, that is utter rubbish. Have a go at him not me.

Depends what you want. There are bands that are heavier, there are bands that are funnier, there are bands that can take you to a million different places that Queen can't. And sometimes I'd rather go there than where Queen would take me.

Well that's an argument for a start lol. It's not that I don't understand what you're saying, I just don't agree with what you're saying. As far as I'm concerned, if you've gotten to the age of 44 and are "offended" that someone would prefer anothor band to Queen (which is not the same as not being a fan of Queen or "slagging" Queen off), then you've let a very dainty life and really need to get out and start living. Never in my life have I heard someone say they're "offended" at someone preferring other bands over Queen.

So please don't repeat yourself again, you're really beginning to look daft. And I mean that not as an insult because I'm really starting to worry about you.

Thistleboy What is the point coming on to Queenzone if you are not a fully committed fan of the band?
I think these kind of sites should only be for fans who think Queen are number one and the other half who are part time fans should not bother,
better still charge a subscription and that way it will weed out the loonies like VH and others who put ridiculous posts up like " Runner has a micro penis"
and you lot pick on me but the idiot who put that post up about Runner has had no backlash whatsoever.
For your information i have a life and i am a very well balanced guy but its just a lot of people on here are immature and like playing judge and jury asking for evidence for this and that to cause arguments.
The thread on here is only a discussion but a lot of people come on here with personal attacks at me just because someone started a row (vocal Harmony)
Well for your info Mr Harmony has had lots of arguments on here over the years but he like to come across like mother theresa.

Hold on - you said you've been a fan for 44 years, but here you say you're 44. So what age did you get into Queen?

Fully committed? You should be.

Queenzone is a mostly unmoderated, uncensored website where criticism of Queen and Freddie is allowed ...

Perhaps "happy" and "runner" should start a new echo chamber website called "Queenstepford.com" where any negative statements about pre-2000 Queen are immediately censored, but negative posts about post-2000 Queen are actively encouraged.

I'm sure you will as you always do.

Anyway some simple maths. You claimed a while back that you saw Queen live in the 70's and 80's, like many of us have.

You claimed the first gig you saw was Newcastle City Hall in 1979. Are you sure about that? You must have been five years old when you bought your first ticket and attended that show, you also went to Leeds when you were 8 years old. . . There's an argument for you to have.

Of cours I do realise that mentally you are stuck between those two ages, but attending those gigs at that age?

Vocal Harmony:: I find your posts pretty pathetic just like you are.
As i said before i am not answering anymore of your shit questions and you can be a bitchy as you want but at the end of the day you will stay bitter and twisted,
You are a vindictive nasty piece of shit and i hope karma catches up with you very very soon.
