This is another poll that's been around so long, I'd forgotten I was the one who originally posted it. Smile

I own all the queen albums up to a day at the races which I disliked so much I took back to the record shop for a refund. Queen 2 is a great album but ANATO is superb. I think the enormity of bohemian rhapsody has created a bit of a backlash toward the album.

Queen II overrated!!? Each to his own, I guess. If I had to pick one Queen album that was slightly overrated I would say Night at the Opera (but not by much!) and one underrated album would be News of the World.
It looks like Queen's "News of the World" album has been underrated here at ProgArchives too, seeing as it hasn't received any votes so far. Smile

I agree with the results of this poll.

I consider Queen II and Opera the best albums by the Queen, almost masterpieces. Then Jazz is good.


But even Kind of Magic is good and Innuendo is another album near to be a masterpiece, the best of the last musical phase of the Queen.

^ That's definitely underrated. It's a really good album, and very eclectic.

That has 3 votes and News of the World none?? Never ever thought I'd see the day Hot Space was considered the better album lol.. but the majority has spoken.
You're not the only one who's surprised which way the voting has gone, although I suspect it may have something to do with me saying I didn't expect the "Hot Space" album to receive any votes at the beginning of this thread. Smile

ANatO is considered Queen best effort and in fact it is true. They develop their music making those three albums and here they've done almost perfect record. I consider it Queen's most polished album with great variety of material which - strangely - holds really good together. Anyway - even as I love ANatO - Queen II is higher on my scale.
Speaking about News Of The World and Jazz - I like both these record a lot - more than a little bit boring A Day At The Races (they tried to repeat ANatO success but there's missing something). But the true is Queen did their best on the first four albums.

I agree that some of Queen's best works were on their first four albums, although I haven't decided which of those four albums I'm voting for yet. Smile

Queen II overrated!!? Each to his own, I guess. If I had to pick one Queen album that was slightly overrated I would say Night at the Opera (but not by much!) and one underrated album would be News of the World.

Queen used to be one of my absolute favorite bands, I guess they still are. Sheer Heart Attack is really good, so is News of the World. Very eclectic and just good albums. Voted for The Game though... Such a monster album in the early 80's and what got me into the band to start with.
