And that's what they become- a singles band. Brian actually at the end of 70s said- we're not a singles band... IMO they've always been...
Is it good? is it bad? Isn't it one of the main reasons why Queen are so underrated in a rock world?

i could quite happily never listen o bo rhap again. it's not that i dont like it, in fact i love it. but i know every note of it. familiarity breeds contempt i suppose.
we've no ancestral halls, no haughty portraits on our walls, no family monuments at all, unless it's my cousin sheila's stupendous clevage.
I love all Queen's songs. One thing I wanted to say is that We Are The Champions is a genious song, very very good, but I have heard it so much that it isn't one of my favourites :(
You're right Fenderek, and the sad fact is, that Queen became "pop" band during '80th, with all those cheesy, pop and disco songs. Yes, they were the huge hits and brought Queen a bunch of the new fans. But - as side effect - these songs brought fans, who aren't (for whatever reasons) able to accept any more complex or harder songs. Of course, it is more interesting for band, because there are the hell more people, who wants music to be easy for their ears.

I'd started listen to Queen as the (hard)rock band and sometimes, in ’80th, I've been sad, what they produced. And there's no wonder IMO, that today they play "songs for majority" only.

When I've been on Yes, they've always played their old songs, like I've Seen All Good People, Roundabout or Close To The Edge (the whole 18 minutes long complex song!), along with their new songs. And why? Because they have fans on concerts, who accept these songs (and wait for them). And these fans are in majority there. -Of course, their concert are smaller, but no one can have it all.
But now it's time to be gone - forever...
