I liked half of the author choices. The story about Mustapha and the hitchhikers was hilarious. :D Thank you TheRealWizard! Good read!

Hmmm I got a page that says I'm blocked from opening the link due to geographical location. C&P into the thread?

Try this, as it seems to be the same text, without embedded YouTube videos of the songs.
Very pleased to see White Man on this list. I think it's Queen's most underappreciated rocker. A real thunderclap of a song from all four corners of the band.

Thanks Arnaldo. Good list!

Thanks Bob, interesting reading. I didn't scroll down to Arnoldo's link, so I just used a US proxy to read the article.
I agree with PrimeJiveUSA that it was great to see White Man on the list. Had pretty much any band other than Queen come up with that song, I think it'd be considered their master piece.
Reading the list, I was absolutely stunned to see Dragon Attack at the top. Considering the other tracks the author picked, it just doesn't make sense to me. Not a bad song, but certainly not one that excels in the qualities that most if not all of the author's other picks share.

Too much focus on the 70’s Queen

There were more singles in the 80s, average of four per album but ocassionaly as many as five. Nearly all albums in the 70s had just two singles, some less, some more. Also, tracks were on average shorter - more per album, post-70s tracks were longer - less per album. All Queen albums in the 70s had at least ten tracks and as many as thirteen whereas post-70s albums, two massive global albums TW and AKOM had just nine tracks each. Excluding the soundtrack, albums had no more than eleven tracks. Hence why the concentration of the 70s in an unbiased way.

For two very good reasons:
1) he's in the US, and Queen more or less ceased to exist there after The Game.
2) their albums had a lot of filler in the 80s. After The Game there isn't a single album track in the 80s that compares to the majesty of what they created between 1974-76.
