I'd definitely go for queen and queen II in that order, in my opinion, they're the best 2 queen albums, and what better place to start than at the beginning?

Okay, i bought jazz and live killers. Jazz is okay, but killers is class.
I'd go for Greatest Hits, Greatest Hits II or Greatest Hits III. Then, listen to them, decide what are your favorite songs and buy the album that comes up with the highest number of songs that you like...is that a good idea ?
Well...Queen, Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack don't really go in that category. "Seven Seas Of Rhye" and "Killer Queen" are the only ones on those albums if my memory is correct...That doesn't mean they are bad, far from that ! But if you want to here the Queen that most people know, don't go for them.
If you want to here the era when Queen only wrote songs with weird meanings and about the medieval times with Ogres, King Rats and etc...then Queen and Queen II are perfect for you.
My own personal advice besides the Greatest Hits ? Hum...are to say...but I'd go for "Made In Heaven" as you can find Freddie's last recordings with the band.
Up to you if you haven't finished buying Queen stuff...:P

ok, i just changed my mind jazz isn't okay, it's bloody amazing and i've been listening to it constantly for about 2 months.
I would buy Jazz. It's such a great variated album.
QUEEN II....GO BUY IT!!!

What about Hot Space ?
Well, you have already gotten so much advice that I won't add more to it. One thing I 've got to saay though:
I envy you a lot for not having heard all the Queen albums yet. I remember what a thrilling experience it was not to know what to expect and being surprised and overwhelmed by new great songs of my favourite band. I hope there will be something I haven't heard one day...(boxsets? guess not...)
Enjoy the experience :)

yeah.. same overhere. First time you hear a new song from the band you like most. What a GREAT feeling. Especially when the song is March Of The Black Queen
I you wanna have a cheap life, buy Flash Gorden and you'll never listen to Queen again ;-)
Just kidd'n... I would recommend Jazz, just because it's my favourite. Hot Space is not that bad... It's different.

This is the best Queen material in my opinion:
1. Queen II
2. The Works
3. Hot Space
4. Jazz
If you're not into dance music, wait for a while before getting Hot Space
