1. Queen + Paul Rodgers ignore Texas - Although I got to see 3 shows, it would have been nice to have had a concert or two within 500 miles of Texas. They managed to cover everywhere else pretty good.
2. Brian May and Ford - Everything I do, is driven by you was the only shameful sellout moment of Queen's legacy. I don't know what possessed Brian to write a song for a car commercial but it's the one blemish of his integrity, in my opinion. I forever skip over that track because of that.
3. Queen Rocks - Queen releases a random compilation of hard rock songs without any real purpose other than to make us pay a full cd price for 'No One But You' and a slightly altered version of 'I can't Live With You'.
4. Queen The First E.P. - I was like 3 when this happened. A completely pointless 4 track E.P. offering ZERO new material.
5. Liar: The Single - Why did they bother releasing Liar as a single the way they did. It's the most butchered edit I have heard among their singles. They ruined the song the way they released it.
6. Staying Power on Hot Space - The Milton Keynes show proves that a faster, guitar version of this song is AWESOME! So why then did they decide to slow it down and uncharacteristically add horns? It's awful on Hot Space, Incredible on On Fire At The Bowl.
7. Friend Will Be Friends - Kum-bi-yah m'lord.... Kum-bi-yah.... HORRIBLE SAPPY LYRICS.
8. Endless delays of the Box sets. They've been teasing us for FAR too long with the promised box sets that still seem to be many years away.
9. Live Killers - Don't get me wrong, I like Live Killers and all, but it's still the worst concert of that period for them. A VERY bad choice for their first live release.
10. 'We Will Rock You' the Play - I've never seen it so my opinion is pretty lame. But the synopsis I read makes me want to yack.
I love Queen more than any other cultural entity, but just felt today like picking on them for once.

driven by you was not written specifically for the commercial.
live killers was a best of from the tour, not a single concert.

Top 2 Most annoying Queenzone things:
1 Posting personal stuff in sharing the music: announce section
2 Sharing concerts in MP 3 format

And the musical kicks ass.
The retake of I Can't Live With You and No-One But You were worth the price of Queen Rocks IMO.
If I'm correct Liar was released against Queen's wishes.

Hey Duck Soup, good call.
Pim Derks you are correct.The boys had no control over the Liar edit and are well documented in interview to say so.

Yes it was. Brian was approached by Ford to write a song. He said he would only do it if he felt like he could come up with something that was good. He later adapted the song for the Back to The Light album.

I disagree with the Live Killers comment. The sound mix is horrible and it's a shame that Somebody To Love, Fat Bottomed Girls, If You Can't Beat Them and It's Late were left off. I think the album should be re-released with a better audio mix and those 4 songs included. Regardless, it's a good album.
I also disagree with the Queen Rocks comment. Great concept, great album, except for the click at the beginning of Fat Bottomed Girls. Still waiting for QR2. Here's my tracklisting in no particular order:
1. Princes of the Universe
2. Liar
3. Son and Daughter
4. Ogre Battle (BBC Version)
5. Flick of the Wrist
6. Sweet Lady
7. Death on Two Legs
8. Dead on Time
9. Let Me Entertain You
10. Dragon Attack
11. We Will Rock You (fast live version)
12. I Go Crazy
13. Gimme The Prize or Staying Power (on Fire version)
14. Hang On In There
15. The Hero
16. The Hitman
17. I Was Born To Love You
18. Brighton Rock
What do y'all think?

They "ignored" South America, Oceania, Scotland too. Clearly they couldn't get everywhere, as you acknowledge by your last sentence.

1. Nothing to do with Queen's legacy. it's a Brian song
2. He wrote them a song because they asked him too. That hardly counts as a lack of integrity, especially as he refused to do it until he found another, more personal angle/level for the song to work at.
