[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]goinback wrote: [/QUOTENAME]GDML used to get radio airplay in the late '70s/early '80s, but then it got left off all the compilations and thus phased off the radio. Same with Spread Your Wings, '39, Tie Your Mother Down, I'm In Love With My Car, etc. There's no one to blame but Queen for this...that's what happens when you release crappy compilations. There was definitely room for these songs on Greatest Hits 3.
The "greatest hits" compilations give you the hit singles (many forgettable, like Body Language), rather than the RADIO hits which were what made Queen famous...Queen Productions never understood that. Hopefully Brian began realizing this on the last tour when he'd play '39 or Tie Your Mother Down and people didn't know them anymore.[/QUOTE
This guy here is right on point. I used to have Greatest Hits I&II and there is no way that songs like "Body Language" "Bicycle Race" "I'm Going Slightly Mad" "One Year Of Love" etc should be on them......

I heard the Sheer Heart Attack album in it's full glory a few years back on a local station. God, that must've been '96 or so... Anyway, this station used to play a classic album every Sunday night, and I just so happened to catch a promo for it earlier in the week. Sheer Heart Attack was the most difficult Queen album for me to find (I didn't have the internet until YEARS later), and up to that Sunday night, I had only heard a couple of tracks from it. Hell of an album, that.

Here in Philly waaaaay back in the day, all through the 80's into the early 90's another local rock station, 94 WYSP used to feature the "Sunday Night Sixpack". Six albums were played straight through. They would have five albums lined up & let the listeners pick the final sixth album. I heard NATO one time. Another time the dj announced that they were gonna play Queen & let everyone vote. He stated that SHA was the hands down winner. A great night of radio! Now they are all talk until 7 pm or so. Its terrible. The "Sixpack" program has long since been abandoned. Along with good radio

We have a radio channel called OrbitRock and its owners are Queen fans for sure.

Take a look at their logo. Those are silhouettes of Freddie Mercury and Brian May. On the BBC World TV channel there's an ad for OrbitRock with A.R. Rehman(a local artist) and Queen's "I Want To Break Free" plays in the background. And Queen songs are played most on the channel. Really great...
