The song "Fun It" is severly underrated

Vocal Harmony: Everything they recorded sounded like Queen because it was Queen pure and simple.
Hot Space was a great album and as Freddie said it would be pointless putting out another Day at The Races or Night At The Opera, they had to move on with new material and styles of sound.

I actually like Hot Space, but I don't see how you can say that the disco/funk elements sound very obviously Queen like. The production and musical choices sound like a cross between Micheal Jackson and Rick James more than Queen.

The fact it didn't sound like Queen is the reason it didn't get a great reaction from a lot of fans.

Freddie's comments about not putting out another Night At The Opera or A Day At The Races were said in defence of an album even he realised was chancy, they already had a history of each album not repeating what came before and they'd already moved away from that 75/76 period.

The reason the fanbase (generally I mean) have a problem with it is because they would run to the hills covering their bottoms shouting POOFTER!!! at the mere mention of homosexuality. Discuss.

I remember the other day making a joke about a new vacuum cleaner at work - 'I expected to come back in and you'd all be in frocks singing I Want The Break Free' and mimed hoovering. One perfectly normal chap looked at me and said 'we don't want any of that shit' and genuinely looked disgusted at the thought of frocks and gayness.

Vocal Harmony Freddie explained why Queen put out different styles of music it is because they attract different record buyers and Freddie said he loved that. Getting the music across to a different audience keeps Queen fresh and hungry for more success.

I think money drove their hunger for success.
