Well I can say that Innuendo is better than Hot Space and Flash Gordon. Although Delilah is not a favorite of mine, I can say it is better (IMHO) than Innuendo, DTSH, RtWW, AGP, tH, Bijou and tSMGo.
Give me The Miracle any day ...
Did I say it was just my humble opinion?

I'm going to turn All God's People up even louder so I can't hear whatever Bull is saying.

There was a magic light I said to myself then I went into a dream ...
AHHHHHHH! Turn it off! Turn it off! Anything but that. OK, Zeni - your persuasive powers make you victorious yet again.
I think I would rather listen to "It's a Small World" than that ... well not really.

Don't worry, Zeni, I've already filed the papers to have Mike declared legally stupid.
I will agree that you are in the minority when you don't place QII on your favorite list. As for "Bijou" turning into "The Show Must Go On" being Queen's best transition... Well, you are once again way off base. I can recall a few MUCH better segues, "Prophet's Song" and "Love Of My Life" springing to mind almost instantly.

I just have one thing to say to you, Brandon:
Gotta face up
Better grow up
Gotta stand tall and be strong
You sing that outloud in a shopping mall or overcrowded Turkish bath, then tell me I'm nuts for liking Innuendo so much.

Declared Legally Stupid ... Could be worse ...
Well, at least I am still highly qualified to post on Queenzone.
When will John Deacon's vocal demo of You and I be released as a single in promotion of his new box set?

I have to say that I think Innuendo is stronger than Miracle. I love DTSH, ICLWY and RTWW (don't understand why many people don't). I think they'd have been great live. From Miracle, I think IWIA, Breakthru, Scandal and WIAWI are the strongest and would have been great live. I always found Party and Khashoggis Ship as fillers and will play them, but not really "listen" to them. Rain Must Fall and My Baby Does me are interesting, but I think one should have been replaced by MLHBS, and possibly the other by Stealin' or Hang On In There.
Innuendo has a great opener in the title song. I remember waking up one morning to hear this premiered on Radio One's breakfast show here in the UK. They played it twice back to back. not many songs get that treatment!!! Headlong and The Hitman give a good rockin' balance, IGSM and Delilah are the fun, and Bijou is exquisite. Oh, and there's the small matter of The Show Must Go On!!!
But, in answer to the actual question for the thread, then I'd get Q2 first and work through the years to fill in the gaps.

Queen II or Innuendo- both awesome, both masterpieces and you HAVE TO have them both...:)

I bought Queen II about 2 weeks ago and at first i thought it was great, but I don't think it's as good as some people say it is. I mean it is good, but not their best. Get MIH

Innuendo is weak? the reason they shared songwriter credits were due to circumstances ie. they were working as a team, the bulls*** was out the window & Freddie's condition played a part too, throw it all in the pot & we'll work on it together. F*** all to do with embarresment about owning up to songs...
If your new to Queen start in latter day stuff & work your way back because a)latter-day stuff is easier to listen to (as a rule) b)if you like all that.. 70's stuff youll have no problems with... i prefer the older stuff personally (cos im old :P)
Personally Id pick Queen II because if you have GHits1 youll have the singles of the game "play the game, dust, crazy & save me" thats 40% of the album anyway. Cos Queen II only had 1 single released "7 seas" so there lots of stuff going on .. which you may not have heard yet.*
So id say QueenII, The Game & MIH
* = denotes from uk single releases - lol

Yeah, "White Queen" IS unimpressive compared to its live version - which is one of the best numbers in the setlist. Always.
Same thing with "Need Your Loving Tonight" - I really can't get used to the studio version because I heard live first (oddly) and... every time I hear it live I have this goosebumps - to see how powerful it is. The vocal range is higher in studio version but it can't beat the live.
