I think that if Freddie was still alive Queen would be one of those few acts, like U2 or Madonna, whose every new release is long awaited. Queen transformed well into the 80's, and I think they had big chances to do so in the 90's and now.
I agree that a lot of their singles charted much too low. There was a few really big disappointments: The Miracle, I'm Going Slightly Mad, The Show Must Go On (unbelievably low; in Poland they started playing it on the radio in the summer and it climbed to no.3, and it was before Freddie's death; after his death most songs went to no.1) and finally You Don't Fool Me (only no.17?!). No justice in this world![/QUOTE]

Yes i COMPLETELY agree, were the complete original QUEEN line up still going, they would be higher on the charts. But speaking retrospectively, they should have as well. And its sad taht there has to be a death in the band to spike sales. Its almost like people are just jumping on a bandwagon at the poorest time, however, not all, some fans do so to show support.

But with the rumors of a Q+PR album, maybe we'll see. Granted you must take into account that it still isnt the complete original Queen lineup, but id buy it.
