Greatest Hits

Which one is your fave?

Greatest Hits 1
Greatest Hits 2
Greatest Hits 3

My fave would be Greatest Hits 1 because its the most rocky cd out of the three, Greatest Hits 2 is more popy and Greatest Hits 3 is alot of ballads and very poignant which is great too.

definetly greatest hits 1 because it is the proper queen sound that we love. number 2 though has classics is very 80's pop and number 3 well i think it was so unnesesary.

Not 3.

3. 3 is the best. No doubt about it.

2. I love 1980's Queen mostly.

hits 2 is excellent to sing along to in the car

hits 3 is complete and utter shit[/QUOTE]


Could not agree more!

Utter shit... *rolls eyes*

Well, first of all, both Greatest Hits (1) and Greatest Hits 2 are beyond compare - probably the best greatest hits albums of any band. Greatest Hits 3 on the other hand is, if not shit, at least completely unnecessary. Its not even a Queen CD, because it has mostly solo stuff, a shitty Under Pressure-Remix and Queen-stuff sung by other people (don`t get me started on Wyclef Jean). Why not admit that there was only stuff for two Greatest Hits-records?

So here is my list:

1) Greatest Hits 2: the first Queen record I listened to, still my favourite. I love their 80s stuff (Radio Ga Ga is my favourite Queen song)
2) Greatest Hits: A magnificent album, not a single track that is only average (there a at least one or two fillers on Greatest Hits 2).
3) Greatest Hits 3: two words: unnecessary and uninspired!

Would've had to buy a lot of different albums to get those cuts on GH3. Plus, at the time, it was the only place I could find the videos.

I must have about 20 different greatest hits/best of CDs, what's one more?

Difficult to say. 70s Queen is not better, or worse, IMO, than 80s Queen, but it's definitely between GH1 & GH2. There are a few good tracks on GH3, but I still think of it as a cash-in for EMI, so they have something new for the millennium.

1 - the best, classic
2 - different, poppy, but still great
3 - weird & weak

But there was plenty of singles for a third and maybe even a fourth greatest hits album, considering that 'Keep Yourself Alive', 'Liar (US edit)', 'Tie Your Mother Down (edit)', 'Long Away', 'Spread Your Wings', 'It's Late', 'Jealousy', 'Love Of My Life (live)', 'We Will Rock You (live)', 'Need Your Loving Tonight', 'Body Language', 'Las Palabras De Amor', 'Back Chat', 'Calling All Girls', 'Staying Power', 'Thank God It's Christmas', 'Princes Of The Universe', 'Pain Is So Close To Pleasure (US remix)', 'Scandal', 'Somebody To Love (live with George Michael)', 'Heaven For Everyone (edit)', 'A Winter's Tale', 'Too Much Love', 'Let Me Live', 'You Don't Fool Me', and 'No One But You' were all singles and only nine of those tracks were actually released on GH3.

That's twenty-six tracks for the choosing right there, all from the UK and US, and if they really wanted to make a fourth Greatest Hits, they could have easily put on other country's singles: 'Teo Torriate', 'I Was Born To Love You', 'Mustapha', 'One Year Of Love', 'I Was Born To Love You', 'Bites The Dust (with Wyclef Jean)', 'Under Pressure (rah)', 'We Will Rock You (with 5ive)', and 'Flash (Vanguard)'. That's thirty-five tracks overall, and considering that Queen like to put seventeen tracks per compilation, enough for two more compilations.

Greatest Hits 2 is well the best, its got all the classics on it like Radio Ga Ga and A Kind Of Magic. Greatest Hits 1 is good but most of the songs from that is when they were younger and when they werent at their peek

definitely Greatest Hits 1.

that was the album that made me fall inlove with the band when i was 10 years old...

the second one is also superb, gotta agree with the claim that the third is absolutely disposable...

you got enough money guys! no need to release dozens of stupid unnecessary compilations!
