Innuendo

Innuendo

or Innuendo

Zeni, I like the way you think. And normally, I'd say that too, But, I see Queen, ..., Sheer Heart Attack, and I want that person to fill the gap. ;)

Yes, YES, like I said before... Queen II. I mean, you CANNOT beat "Ogre Battle":

"the great big-a fight is over" -- listen for it. :D

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Mala-Kot wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Made in heaven : Emotional album with alot of great tracks some of them are remakes by the band and Freddies versions of his/others solo material.

Song Highlights: Made in heaven, Mother love(Freddies last song), You don't fool me, I was born to love you.

Queen II : To me it has a gothic and dark feeling to it similar to Queen "the 1st album" in the songs style but ALOT better and an awesome album in all.

Song Highlights: White queen, Ogre battle, Nevermore, March of the black queen.

The game: A rocky album with great tracks, includes 2 of their major hits in it and it's also the first album for Queen to use synths in it and the result turned out to be excellent.

Song Highlights: Play the game, Need your loving tonight, Save me, Crazy little thing called love, Dragon attack.

Conclusion: if you really want my opinion BUY THEM ALL AT ONCE :D but if you want to go one step at a time then start with Queen II then The game then MIH. They are all worth it and I now you're gonna buy them all sooner or later !!but you should start in that respective 'cause these albums are like a story i dont think when you read one you start from the last chapter then move the beginning.......u get my point.

I know I've babbled alot but i hope i was a bit helpful !!

take care

According to David Richards (if my memory is right) the last song Freddie recorded was 'A Winter's Tale', if anyone can confirm it please.

A Winter's Tale was the last one Freddie wrote, but Mother Love was the last one he sang.

like what Rhapsody_87 said .

Mike, individually the songs from MIH may have fared better on your survey. However, as a whole Q2 puts MIH down. Take this as a fact as I have never been proven wrong when shooting down opinions.
And Zeni... I think this is the first time you have been off base in your assessment. Innuendo, while a great album, would be a lot lower on a lost of most-urgent Queen albums to obtain. If you need it, I can present you with some conclusive evidence!

"Innuendo, while a great album, would be a lot lower on a lost of most-urgent Queen albums to obtain. If you need it, I can present you with some conclusive evidence!"

I have it, but I want evidence! :-)

The rule for Q2:

White is a Blight (relatively unremarkable)
Black is Packed (with many classics)

MIH as a whole is more consistent with fewer duds.

Either album is better than Innuendo IMHO.

I will now follow Brandon's lead and provide Bush league proof (Beware of weapons of mass destruction) by saying I have proof but giving no proof. LOL

I will only grant that Q2 would be the best Queen album if the quality of the White side was anywhere as good as the Black side.

Does that mean you're disowning "White Queen"??

Simple:
The songs on Innuendo are so weak, the band didn't want individual credit for any of them. On Queen II, Fred, Bri, Rog, and John all wanted recognition for their work...
Um, not buying it? Well, a lot more copies of Innuendo have been purchased by the general public that Queen II. And if the general populace likes it, it MUST be easy, accessible and dumbed-down. Even by Brian's own admission they "dished out" a little too much for on Queen II!
Still not good enough, huh? OK, there is no track by that invisible man John Deacon on Queen II?
Hmmm. Well, I happen to think QII is tops!
But I will concede that there is something to be said about the incredibley talented ROg having more than one song on Innuendo!

Brandon - You should have told me to bring my hip waders.

Rhap - The studio version of White Queen is ok. The live version of White Queen is absolutely beautiful and blows the studio version out of the water.

Mike, you're on the QZ Message Board. Chad Hanging once posted here. You should have come prepared.

I prefer Fatty's fertilizer - much smoother going down the gullet.

Heathens, both of you.

Innuendo is Queen's return to form in the 1990s following what was a weak decade of studio releases. All of the songs work well together, even Delilah (though it is the weakest on the album). I still think that Bijou leading into TSMGO is the best seque on any Queen record. And to give more unqualified proof that it is a great CD, it's the Queen CD I choose to listen to whenever I'm in a pissy mood

MIH is good, but it also has a piecemeal feel to it. The songs do not flow together as they should, in my opinion. As for QII, I am in the minority of Queendom when I admit it is not even close to being a favorite of mine.
