Bohemian Rhapsody

No particular order
Eclectic songwriting (although like 10 CC, often bordering pastiche)
good musicianship and showmanship.
Decadent (right from the debut) yet strangely original

The Works is a diamond in the rough patch of their eighties period, I think. It's a great hard rock album, surrounded by mediocre records like "A Kind of Magic" and "The Miracle." While both of those albums have great songs on them, they contain too much filler to be really noteworthy. I agree with you about The Works, though. -------------

1. Under Pressure - Incidentally, it's also my favourite David Bowie song. 2. Fatbottomed Girls 3. We Will Rock You 4. Keep Yourself Alive 5. Can't Stop Me Now 6. Radio Ga Ga 7. Killer Queen 8. Bohemian Raphsody 9. You're My Best Friend 10. Somebody to Love Honourable mention: The Show Must Go On! What do I love about Queen? They truely inimitable, they're bombastic, they're completely over the top, they do their own thing and in they end they ROCK oh so hard while doing it! So many of their songs are about things I can relate to, like WINNING! or not having a girlfirend (not in the same sense as Freddie, har har har) I'm talking about Somebody to Love. How hasn't sung along to that one at the height of their malaise? Freddie is my top all time lead singer no question, and Brian May's guitar solos are out of this world. That's why We Will Rock You is so high on my list. -------------

Now I'm Here Brighton Rock Seven Seas of Rhye Tenement Funster One Vision Under Pressure Body Language (for the comedy value) Hammer to Fall Innuendo Killer Queen I'm not a big Queen fanboy so five things that make em great is a hard one, but: Brian May's very individual guitar sound, great production from Roy Thomas Baker on their classic era stuff, great frontman with amusing campiness, could really rock out when the mood took them. And Freddie Mercury's reputed encounter with Sid Vicious: Vicious: "Still bringing ballet to the masses are you? Mercury: "Ah Mister Ferocious.

Killer Queen Now I'm Here Brighton Rock Bicycle Race Dreamer's Ball They understood that camp was an important ingredient in all great rock and roll, (most heavy rock and Prog bands never accede to this fact) they wrote memorable songs (even most of the sucky ones are kinda catchy), Fred was possibly one of the greatest entertainers of all time, they had a healthy respect and irreverence for the past - like the Beatles, they had one brilliant singer, three great songwriters and a crap drummer who sang all the crap songs. I love Queen's music up to circa The Game but thereafter what they did was certainly accomplished but just didn't move me in any shape or form. Like Sabbath, they're on PA purely because sufficient proggers like the earlier stuff. There are instances on Queen I and II where a vestige of prog is discernible but apart from that, zilch. I really don't think any great rock band that can't produce prog credentials is undermined in the slightest. -------------

I'm not sure if I've "met" Lizzy on these forums, but before the beating commences... I don't share quite the dismal view of Taylor that Exit the Lemming does. I like "I'm In Love With My Car" and "Drowse", and I've never really gave much thought to his drumming one way or the other. He seems like a competent member who has enriched Queen's songbook, but the songs of Mercury and May are usually my faves. |

Roger Tyler is a really power house of a drummer and probably the most forgotten drummer in rock, he is really impressive, quick, versetile, energic, great technical chops, effishant, smart, sofisticated, and also does both drumsett and timpanis not Phil Collins tasty ness nor Bonham power but in.between those two powerhouses you got Taylors powerfull tastyness  -------------

Well, happy I am not, but then again who cares anyway? I personally appreciate his work as a drummer, mainly for his versatility. I can however agree to the 'crap songs' bit to a certain extent: he was the author of (and sang on) several weaker songs - so called 'fillers', like Coming Soon or More of That Jazz, but this happened mainly because of the band's policy at the time. Freddie stated in an interview that he'd rather have, for example, one weak Roger track on an album than some of his (Freddie's) better songs. But Roger was an excellent song writer with Queen (Tenement Funster, Drowse, These Are the Days of Our Lives) and as a solo artist (Happiness? and Electric Fire are superb albums as far as I'm concerned). ------------- Property of Queen Productions...

A phenomenal band with amazing ecclecticism. Talented songwriters and musicians. Bombastic yet strangely tasteful. Could have put a very large portion of their music in my list. My all time favourite band, they were a gateway into the wide world of music.

The Prophet's Song Ogre Battle Liar Great King Rat Stone Cold Crazy Brighton Rock Bring Back That Leroy Brown (yeah, I know... I happen to like it) Keep Yourself Alive Tie Your Mother Down Spread Your Wings One of two bands sticking with me since I first started listening to music at age 11 or 12, the other being Pink Floyd. Loved the fact that they could range from the absolutely brilliant to the mindbogglingly atrocious (sometimes even on the same album.). Their first album is a prime example of this, with outstanding songs like Great King Rat and Liar and the incomprehensibly dreadful Jesus.... ------------- With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince.
