I voted for "A Night...", although I, II and "Sheer Heart Attack" have their moments as well. I still remember buying "Bohemian Rhapsody" on a 45-vinyl-single and later getting the album. It was only after that that I got the earlier works, though I had heard (and loved) "Killer Queen" before.

I beg to differ, 'News of the World' has some of their finest songs. The amount of different styles on that album is shockin'. 'The Works' is a very good album too, Best album they had in the 80s. And of course 'Innuendo' is fantastic.

Ha! I knew there was someone out there who liked The Works!! I'd agree that was there best 80's album. When it came out it was the album that inspired me to check out their earlier work.

As for their early albums, My vote goes to Queen II. 'White Qeen: As it began' and 'March of the Black Queen' are two of their greatest songs IMO. 
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

My favourite Queen album is definately 'Sheer Heart Attack', I love all the early Queen albums. Their debut album had me addicted for a long time as the songs are so strong, And it had such a great sound! 'A Night at the Opera' is great, Especially 'The Prophet's Song'. I'd rate them something like this (subject to change) -

  • Queen - ****
  • Queen II - ****
  • Sheer Heart Attack - *****
  • A Night at the Opera - *****
  • A Day at the Races - ****

Another album I love by Queen is 'News of the World', What an album
