Welcome to the board and congratulations on discovering Queen.
I must say that if you discover the band in this day and age, there is a lack of mystery. I remember getting into them in the early nineties without the internet and didn't have the money to get expensive foreign magazines...i had to rely on the record stores and whatever i came across.

So sometimes i would just find some album here and there that i had never heard of and would listen to with an open (and often ignorant) mind. :D I loved that ignorance and discovering songs that i heard for example snippets of in The Magic Years documentary.

I got the Opera and Races album first on vinyl from a friend of a friend and there's nothing like listening on vinyl first. Dunno, maybe it sounds hipster, but that was just the chronology of it for me. The miracle i got on cassette for the first time (also from an acquaintance) which was fine. I don't remember exactly in what order i got the albums, but i do remember that i didn't mind the randomness of it and i loved discovering those albums in that way. Of course these days you just open Spotify or Youtube and you have it all, but that really kills the mystery for me. Am i old? Perhaps. xD I am rambling on like an old person...what i'm trying to say is try to add a little mystery and don't do it chronologically. Maybe make a fun little scavenger thing out of it and buy stuff at second hand stores, whatever you can find and really invest in listening, nay consuming the albums. :D When i got an album back in the day, that album was my life for a while. Ok i'm done. NURSE!
