I like Queen, even though they had commercial success with lots of hit singles. I particularly love Bohemian Rhapsody, which to me is a full-on progrssive rock track. Their best album though is Sheer Heart Attack, which contains the very heavy Brighton Rock.

Not long after Bohemian Rhapsody became a number single, John Miles had a hit with Music and the Zaragon album. He is also considered a 'pop' star, but Zaragon is a brilliant progressive rock album.

Queen is definitely not progressive rock. The administrator seems to believe it is, though....so be it. But to rate the Queen albums, well I'll just list my personal favorites:

1. Queen - "Liar" and "Keep Yourself Alive" alone make that album classic material. I like that stuff the best.

2. News of the World - like the album above, not too many frills just good sounding, straight-to-the-point rock. "We Will Rock You / [..] Champions" I actually think is the worst track on this album.

3. Jazz - same type of comment as above. Mostly a great listening experience. Definitely worth the price.

4. A Night at the Opera - about as artsy as they ever got. A little overbearing with the choir boy stuff, but this did contain a few unforgettable tracks. "Death on Two Legs", "Prophet's Song", things like that.

5. The Game - I remember when this album came out. It was the And Then Were Three moment for Queen...pissed the hardcore fans off. Moaned that they has 'sold out' to disco. But there is some excellent rock music embedded in there, in between the disco songs.

All the other Queen I albums I don't appreciate enough to comment on.

I guess he's angry that Queen are in the archives but Iron Maiden are not. Or he misinterpreted the concept and wanted to express that these albums are all #1 in his chart.

oh... well...
