I love Queen, is and incredible band and with the decades pull off an
unique and refreshing sound never heard before. In the 70 (their best
moment) released albums such as "Queen II" or "A day at the races" (my
favorite), in the 80 the works were a little down ("Hot Space"), the 90
concluded with one of my also favorite records "Innuendo", and "Made in
heaven" After saying all this, I realized that this band have a few prog moments in song like "Innuendo" or "Bohemain Rhapsody" that allowed to be in the PA, but a band like this make you think that`s there`s a bunch of bands with the same elements or more that should be in this place. Anyway I would like to know which others song beside "Innuendo" and "Rhapsody" have a progy stile in this amazing bands Ekzodo Spoke!! ------------- THERE`S TO MUCH MUSIC AND SO LITTLE TIME TO LISTEN TO IT VIVA LA ARGENTINA PROGRESIVA!!!!! |

most obviously My Fairy King and Jesus on Queen White Queen (As It Began), Ogre Battle and March Of The Black Queen on Queen II and The Prophet's Song on A Night At The Opera that's aside from Innuendo and Bohemian Rhapsody (which is of course the most successful prog-rcok song of all time in terms of weeks atop the British charts) ... ------------- "Death to Utopia!

I think you are right, but as you know I all stay in the "Queen", "Queen II", "A night at the opera" & "A day at the races". In the 80 the best moment of Queen was "Under Pressure" with Bowie, not prog but a cool song. I don`t know you, but I simply HATE "We are the champions"!!!! ------------- THERE`S TO MUCH MUSIC AND SO LITTLE TIME TO LISTEN TO IT VIVA LA ARGENTINA PROGRESIVA!!!!! |

Mine is a different case from most ... in the mid 80s I was into synth pop and then the B-sides of Queen's singles Friends Will Be Friends and Who Wants to Live Forever were old hits Seven Seas Of Rhye and Killer Queen ... I realised they were better songs and went and checked out early Queen .. it was so good that I gave away my collection (but only to my sister) ... and for two years I listened to only Queen ... I came to love almost everything except that awful song Body Language and half of the Flash Gordon album! ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love!

| THEY WERE GLAM ROCK! SOME SONGS HAS LITTLE PROG TOUCHES BUT I CAN'T DEFINE THEM AS A PROGRESSIVE ROCK BAND EVEN IF I LIKE THEIR MUSIC . |

jajaj "Body Language" sucks, and the flash album and the movie tooI also think that the live album never show this side of Queen, it`s always the same tracklist, I hate that Always shows: Kind of magic, friend, break free, radio, etc.... ------------- THERE`S TO MUCH MUSIC AND SO LITTLE TIME TO LISTEN TO IT VIVA LA ARGENTINA PROGRESIVA!!!!! |

Quite a lot of Queen, just about all of Queen II, much of Sheer heart Attack, some of DATR, almost all of ANATO, some of NOTW, some of Jazz... To say they were a Glam Rock band is to completely belittle what they did and not recognise their incredible achievements - ostrich, you might say. And may I remind some, that this thread isn't about whether you like them or not - it's about listing 5 prog songs. Sheesh! Some people learn to read (and write...) |

I don`t think they we`re a glam rock band, his stle and commercial repercusion don`t fit in that category. What it`s true is that Mercury alone was an example of glam rock  , but Queen as a band I don`t think so.Roxy Music is a true example of glam rock and have a place in this site  ------------- THERE`S TO MUCH MUSIC AND SO LITTLE TIME TO LISTEN TO IT VIVA LA ARGENTINA PROGRESIVA!!!!! |

Well, considering that making you happy is the ultimate goal of my pale existence, here goes: 1. Prophet Song 2. March of the Black Queen 3. Father and Son 4. Bohemian Rhapsody 5. White Queen

White Queen is also one of my fav song Another thing I want to add is that Mercury solo career suchs ("Living on my own" is a joke )The only good album is the one with Monserrat Caballe "Barcelona". That makes me think that May was the proggy head in the band (the solo albums are quite good) Deacon is more and not-member of Queen than a member, but he write "Anorher one bites the dust", a good track Finally, Taylor has great vocals and make good composition "I love with my car" cool one, but their solo records .I think that the "Queen" and "Queen II" are the most complex and prog album of Queen, the rest are moments in their large discography ------------- THERE`S TO MUCH MUSIC AND SO LITTLE TIME TO LISTEN TO IT VIVA LA ARGENTINA PROGRESIVA!!!!! |

Queen is not defined by the Archives as prog rock. They are defined as PROG-RELATED. There is a big difference. The Archives define prog-related as "rock and pop bands and artists... who were not truly 'prog'... but who were clearly not 'mainstream' or simply 'rock' bands." I think Queen fits that description quite well. Face it: Queen is in the Archives. Queen is in the prog-related section of the Archives. Queen will remain in the prog-related section of the Archives. There isn't much you can do about it, so maybe it's about time you stopped being so pedantic, moved on with your life, and found something more important to care about. ------------- The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe. http://www.last.fm/user/sbonfiglioli/?chartstyle=red">

You get me wrong, for me is an honour that Queen is in the archives, my thread is about knowing the few proggy moments of the band, I love Queen and I think that prog-related is a big genre where you can put a lot of great main-stream bands such as Electric Light Orchestra or Foreigner or Toto. ------------- THERE`S TO MUCH MUSIC AND SO LITTLE TIME TO LISTEN TO IT VIVA LA ARGENTINA PROGRESIVA!!!!! |

Humm, I love Queen, such a great band live.. would go with: 1. The prophets song 2. Brighton rock (on 'Live killers') 3. Was it all worth it 4. Liar 5. White queen |

I love all of Queen II and A Night at the Opera. I heard Liar on t.v. a while ago and it kicks so much ass. But nothing Queen has done will make them a pure prog band. |

Yes, it is true Queen were glam rock. Glam wasn't really a actual muscial style, It was a way that bands presented themselves. A band can play prog but still be glam, like Roxy music and Queen. -------------

That's a great track. But its Art Rock, not Progressive. Still a grey area for many people, I see. ------------- LDL |

Progressive Rock = Art Rock. "The Prophets Song" is pure Progressive Rock - I don't see how you can say otherwise. It's not grey - it's technicolour prog!! |

^ Agreed. But there is one Queen song that I would not call prog but most other people would: Bohemian Rhapsody. Sure it features many prog trademarks, but IMO it's too pompous and "glam" ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:
