I've always liked Radio Gaga, but i get your point.

Innuendo is an excellent album though. Big smile
I like Radio Gaga too and I agree that Innuendo is a great album. It's #5 in my Queen album rankings, after the first four classic Queen albums. Thumbs Up
 
We seem to be agreeing more and more these days, which makes a nice change. Smile

Wembley’86 is possibly my least favourite of the live albums with Freddie on vocals.

Despite Hot Space being a fairly abominable album, the tour for that album was great. On Fire - Live at the Bowl is a great live album, and definitely more enjoyable, in my opinion, than Wembley.

I’m just hopeful that more of the infamous/legendary performances receive official releases. It was awesome after years of listening to my bootleg of Hammersmith ‘75, to finally own an official Queen release of that performance. (Probably my second favourite official Queen live release after Rainbow ‘74.)

the Beeb is the BBC, so this live album is Queen doing live sessions at the BBC. Early Queen at their best if you ask me.
I'm gonna listen to it later today.

Maybe the next Queen poll can be for favourite (official) live albums from Queen? My vote would go to Live at the Rainbow. 🤗🥰

I'd vote for Live at Wembley 1986, although Live at the Rainbow '74  is a strong contender too. Thumbs Up

Live Killers is excellent and better than Wembley '86. 
Also excellent are:
Hammersmith Odeon, London 1975 
Queen - At The Beeb, 1973 

couple of DVDs - Rock Montreal 1981, The Game Tour and Queen On Fire - Live At The Bowl 1982, The Hot Space tour.

QUEEN SHOULD NEVER HAVE ......AND i REPEAT NEVER HAVE ..........released Radio Gaga......no, I mean, c'mon, after listening to masterpieces like Liar, Son & Daughter, Keep yourself Alive, The Night comes down......or yes, even I'm going slighly mad, Ride the wild wind, etc., IT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTAMINATE YOUR MIND WITH RADIO GAGA....HONESTLY :)!!!!

It's probably because it's their proggiest album, but Classic Rock don't necessarily judge the albums with prog ears.

My favourite is still A Night at the Opera by far, because I think it is much more accomplished in terms of songwriting. It's the early prog Queen blending with their later more song oriented style.

To be honest I do not. 
When I end up disliking an band, it usually weak vocals, a sloppy rhythm section, a predictable songwriting or even worse a bland one, some guitarist torturing the guitar. 
Well, Queen has none of that, on the contrary. 
I may understand people complaining about their 80s output, but not the 70s. 
So yeah, I don't understand. 

And I don't understand how you could like them. So, we're even. LOL

Everything as my sister was a big fan. But Freddie Mercury had great hair.
