I think I know what everybody's answer is gonna be, and mines is the 70's Queen, and 1980 with "The Game" album...But I liked them the best in 1977, the songs, their appearance, everything!!


What about you?

Nevermind that their output was more prolific (7 albums to five) in the 70's, but 70's Queen pwns 80's Queen. Albums like A Night at the Opera, News of the World, and Queen II are better than any 80's Queen album. This is not to say that 80's Queen is bad, but squirrel please, Queen was much better in the 70's.
This is what you wanted, this is what you're going to get.
yes in terms of quality Queen were far beter in the seventies but in presence and spectacle the eighties ahve it. Funnily enough, I thought their eighties singles were better than their seventies ones but they were unable to produce the high standards across a whole album in the latter decade.

Yeah, their music in the 80's is totally different from their music in the 70's, they really went pop!!! Totally different...not to say that it was any better or worse, it was just different(Radio-GaGa, I want to break free, for instance, very pop!)...but come to think of it, EVERYTHING WAS POP BACK IN THE 80'S...even R&B/funk/soul went pop back in the 80's...as soon as disco died, and new wave came out, everything went pop...!

Absolutely the 70's!!!!!!!!!!!! or better.......the early 70's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're great in this period!!!!!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FABULOUS 70'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THE 70'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LONG LIFE TO ROCK N' FUCKIN' ROLL!
Definitely the late 70's !!!

Just the fact that Crazy Little Thing Called Love is written during the late 70's period is too heavy!

But their best era is their last in my opinion
I mean 1986 - 1991
early 70's lie 71-t5 looks and music style was very different, but i also like the late 08's early 90's looks

Sometimes it's better to be self-indulgent than to "give them what they want." Queen music was so much more interesting in the 70's.
I'll bet it's the same as the previous thread relating to this topic...and the thread before that....and the thread before that......and before that.......

Kinda hard... but i guess it has to be the 70s for me.
The 80s for me. The 70s stuff was brilliant and without it they wouldn't be Queen. But I love 'The Miracle' album and everything they did in the 80s. Live Aid, Wembley, everything.
