Favourite Queen Album - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Here's how you lose a multi-million dollar copyright lawsuit:

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I find it interesting no one has voted for ADATR. I have to assume fans of that record generally concede that as great as ADATR is, ANATO does everything ADATR does and mostly does it better.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Queen II. Brilliant album.

Aye. I would have seen this tour, but Brian May became ill with hepatitis and had to drop out. Kansas substituted instead (they opened for Mott the Hoople in Chicago).

I like Kansas and they were excellent, but to have seen Queen on this tour....gawd! I did see them on "Night at the Opera" and a subsequent tour, but Queen II is their masterpiece IMHO.

At least because Brian got sick SHA managed to come out the same year.

Queen's seventh and eighth albums....

Jazz (1978)

The Game (1980)

I'd love to have included the first two Queen albums on this thread too, but they're not currently available on YouTube. I found these two albums though....

Flash Gordon (1980)

Hot Space (1982)

I'm not keen on either of these two Queen albums, but I've included them here anyway for the sake of completion.

The Miracle (1989)

Innuendo (1991)

Just one more album to go now to complete the Queen albums discography

Not heard them all (as a matter of fact only five first), but hard to believe any of their after Day At the Races were better than a Night at the Opera.

Queen II is in my top 3 albums ever (at least regarding pop/rock) with Dark Side of the Moon and Close to the Edge.

ADATR is vastly underrated (though there's also a lot of people who consider it a classic, so who knows). I think it's below Queen II but virtually at the same level as ANATO, I think if it had been released first instead of second from those two maybe they would be regarded differently.

The Millionaire Waltz, Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy, Somebody to Love, Teo Torriate, You Take My Breath way, You and I, etc. I Really love that album.

I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

Hi,

I would rather have that VH-1 special on Queen, that showed the last song Freddy played and sang, apparently just weeks before he passed away ... it beats any album hands down!

A nice band, and we had the first couple of albums, but when it came to the 10CC cover, I didn't dislike it, but by then my interest was all over Europe and not as much in English or American bands, most of which were already re-hashing their material. QUEEN were a fine band, and even better in concert ... and reminds me of that one concert where George Michael sang on a tribute to Freddy I think it was ... and he was magnificent and probably should have been the only possible replacement for Freddy, but I'm not sure that GM was up to someone else's legacy! He already had his own to deal with!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I get off the Queen train pretty early on - the first two albums are proto-proggy heavy, then a bit of refinement on the third, then their early sound solidified on Opera, but Day at the Races was a clone, then they lost that proggy rock edge and.....blah. The pop hits were campy fun but nothing more - Queen's first four, then a spin of Jazz or News in the car once every few years, maybe a few tracks from the 90s surprise Innuendo.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
