If we ignore the fact that this is a sharing the music - announce forum, you are wrong in many things.
1) QPR ignored many states, not only states in USA, but also for example Slovakia :)
2) Driven By You is a great song, I don't care if it was written for money, and it has NOTHING to do with Queen, it's a Brian May solo song
3) Queen Rocks had much more different songs, WWRY has been slightly edited (the silence at the end is gone), Tie Your Mother Down is the single version and is very well remastered, I Can't Live With You is NOT slightly altered, but it's almost a completely different song, I'm In Love With My Car is a brand new remix combining the best bits of the single version and the album version, and there is of course NOBY.
4) I fully agree, but I wasn't 3 when it happened :)
5) Liar single - the correct answer was written by guys before
6) And not only Staying Power, ALL songs from Hot Space sound MUCH better live, if they recorded those songs this way, I'm sure the album would be a hit.
7) Exactly, it's one of the few Queen songs I really HATE.
8) -||-
9) Live Killers is not a concert, it's a "best of tour"-type compilation, and it sounds WONDERFULL on the last Japanese remastered edition. But I would of course more happy if they released for example Hammersmith Odeon 26/12/79 , it's my favorite concert from that era
10) I didn't see the musical, but many people who had seen it say it's crap, but many people who had seen it say it's great, so who's right ? But I have the official "soundtrack" and the music is great (I LOVE internet gaga :) -"and all the things we wanna get we download from the internet")

The biggest mistake ever was the choice of Paul Rodgers.His attitudes, his complete behaviour, his voice(!)....it all doesn´t fit to that fantastic sound of Queen
THANK YOU FRANK!!!! This is the only thing I'd dare to critisize the rest of the Queen for! I'd never dare to set a single word against the band at Freddie's time simply because I myself wouldn't be able to make the things day did. Having in mind what an incredible talent Freddie haS and having in mind that PR is much more limited then him in every respect, I don't think that the rest of the band made much good. I think I sing better then PR in a karaoke after the 4th vodka, and yes, I think that, being a writer for over then 10 years now, I could write a better libreto for a musical using Freddie's songs ONLY.
I certainly would have included the We Will Rock You single released with Five in 2000 amongst my top 10.
I like lists like this, although I don't agree with some of the points. It provides a good source for discussion, unlike many posts on this forum.
I have to strongly disagree with Live Killers. Being a bit (or a lot!) older, I remember when it came it. At that time, everyone was putting out live albums. I liked some, but most of them were pointless. I wasn't familiar with Queen, but I bought Live Killers because I thought the picture on the back of the album looked cool. I'll never forget putting that record on and being amazed at how DIFFERENT this band was. The strong melodies in hard rock songs, the incredible singing and guitar tone, the energy of the audience... it put 99% of the other live albums to shame. I've been a fan ever since.
I'd replace that on your list with that piece of s**t Live Magic release. Absolutely worthless.

100% agree! This isn't Queen any more. Maybe it's just my personal taste, but some Bands who where "unique" at their time should not be on the road anymore. For example; I love The Who, but seeing them in concert last summer was big disapointment. All their trademarks, like the inferno-style drumming from Keith Moon and the pumpin' basslines from the Ox where missing, it sounded more like a (real) good coverband playin' Who tunes. I'm glad that Led Zep. isn't doing a reunion, I can't image a concert without Bonzo! (Live Aid perfomance was scary enough!)
I've seen "Return of the Champions" , but it wasn't a Queen concert, it was Karaoke at a very high level.....
