I heard James Maynard Keen's cover version of Bohemian Rhapsody yesterday and it made me realise how underrated Roger Taylor is as a drummer. You tend to take him for granted but actually try replacing him on any Queen song and you run into trouble.

Before I clicked on the link for this thread, I was actually expecting this to be a new album with that younger Adam Lambert guy. My real love affair with Queen has mostly passed long ago (Ha, May was such an inspiration to me as a youngster, I eventually grew my hair like his! ), but does anyone know how his performances with the band have been being recieved?
Anyway, the last time this sort of thing happened, we got the album `Made in Heaven', which was pretty much decent if I recall, for what it was (although I haven't spun it in at least 15 years). More of the same could possibly work out well.

You're probably right. I'm still curious to hear it though. May knows that a Queen album with any other singer is not likely to attract much interest, but unreleased Freddie stuff is going to sell.
Judging by not so clever clogs uniformly wretched solo output, fleecing us from a doggy bag that Freddie didn't think would pass muster has to be an improvement. I know he uses an old english sixpence as a plectrum but Brian can't be that hard up surely?

Must I remind everyone here that inclusion on an album does not necessarily mean it was the best stuff they had. After all, Delilah made it onto Innuendo (the whole "meow" thing has to be Queen's most embarrassing moment). Who knows what gem wasn't on the album to make room for that atrocity against music.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I know, but if the songs are from the 80's we can still hope that they were left out because of being too Proggy or too good (dreaming is free isn't it?)

Queen has quite an excellent selection of "unreleased" or rare tracks from the 70s and especially the 80s that they could easily fill up a CD and have every track a winner, e.g. Sandbox, Feels Like (an early form of Under Pressure with different lyrics), Stealing, Dog with a Bone, etc. Exciting news.

^Best thing I've heard all day. I just hope that it's not a bunch of subpar numbers that the band felt weren't good enough to be included on their albums. That happens a lot these days.
