I sincerely hope my kids enjoy the Queen box set. Maybe they can visit dads grave once in a while to tell me how awesome it is.

I dream of the day when we get a 10-hour documentary on Queen's history.
How about- I dream of the day when we get an Anthology Box..
C'MON GUYS!!! Made In Heaven is just an album (regardless of the whole story surrounding it), whereas ANTHOLOGY is a huge box set, full of amazing out-takes, demos and all. If Queen released box set in 1995 and were overshadowed by Beatles- than would be the case. But the way it happened- ANTHOLOGY release was more significant than a Queen album (I'm talking general audience, not Queen fans...) You're comparing release of a huge Box Set to the release of an album... Wait till Queen release their ANTHOLOGY and hope it's going to be half as good as The Beatles one... I don't mind it being twice better, actually... Maybe in 2050...
C'MON! Made In Heaven is QUEEN!!!
I'd rather take one new cd of Queen remixes than 100 cd's of ultra rare Beatles stuff.
C'MON! Made In Heaven is QUEEN!!!Yeah- but I wasn't talking about stepfords- I was talking about general audience... :)

I'm sure most people here who also like The Beatles, saw the release of Anthology about as important or almost as important as the release of 'Made In Heaven'.
After The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, I thought that Queen were just done and over, and I was just overwhelmed to find out that Queen was going to release a new album with new songs recorded before Freddie's death. Later I found that not all of them were completely recorded after the Innuendo sessions, but nevertheless I was very happy to hear something new and fresh from Queen. They did an excellent job putting all those pieces together, and re-working on all those songs to make them sound way much better than the original versions.

Made In Heaven got to number one. Anthology One didn't (in the U.k). Maybe MIH kept it off the top spot.
In 95',They had the 5th best selling album in the UK.

That's pretty good, considering its late release date!
I DONT SEE, AND I DONT HEARD NOTHING ABOUT IT

lol @ Fenderek!
The singles of Made in heaven were very succesful in the world. The two beatle songs weren't that very succesfull. I think Queen is better than the beatles. The beatles got so many number one singles because they were the first boyband. Really i think they have made acouple of brilliant songs but Freddie penned songs which are ten times better, then most beatles work.

Oh, what the hell ever...
No band will change the world the way the Beatles did. The Beatles albums were completely revolutionary in their time, and most still stand up today. The only Queen album that meets Abbey Road is A Night At The Opera.

I agree. As much as I like Queen, music wouldn't be what it is today without The Beatles. I just heard "Strawberry Fields Forever" today and thought of the brilliance of it. The Beatles are uncomparable, and if someone prefers Queen mixes over Beatles songs that's just weird.
No not weird at all! What a stupid remark! Yes Queen owe the Beatles a lot but so what by the time Queen came around The Beatles were dead! Its a matter of taste I much prefer to listen to Queen and in fact loads of other stuff before the Beatles! I must be really weird then?

First of all, I never said everyone is obligated to listen to The Beatles. Second of all, I never said I preferred The Beatles over Queen - quite the opposite. Third of all, what does the fact The Beatles didn't exist when Queen was formed has anything to do with what I said?

If you're trying to say I'm stupid using sarcasm, I'd like to know why. *I* find it weird that people prefer mixes over new songs, let alone songs of The Beatles. We're all entitled to our own opinions, you know.
Oh yeah, and you can be more polite. Thanks in advance.
