4 Queen masterpieces

There were almost a few masterpieces other than Killer Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody from the Queen catalog, but chances were thwarted because, invariably, Freddie would open his mouth.

Melgar: The group picture of Genesis you've included here was originally part of a picture taken at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in, of course, New York City. It was part of a Rolling Stone article on the boys when they were on tour stateside, but I couldn't tell you for what album. I thought it was interesting that you picked this picture as I haven't seen it in years. It gently hints at the personality of each group member.

What's wrong with Mercury? He's a great singer. I can imagine lot's of people liking other singers over Mercury (I myself counted), but I have seldome heard people complaining about his singing.

What he said.

I reign with my left hand, I rule with my right

A hard decision between March and Prophet's - I chose the latter. I mean, March has a great dinamicity, the only thing that kills it for me is the end of the song, I only wish it wasn't followed by another song...Prophet's, in another hand is a complete song for me. That intro and that acapella session are fantastic. One of the first progressive songs I've heard, even before knowing it was progressive. I do like BoRap, but I prefer the songs above mentioned. Never enjoyed Innuendo so much, there are many other songs I like from Queen.

No, having Howe play flamenco guitar doens't make Innuendo a masterpiece... what makes the song a masterpiece is the whole of it, which is just great. Of course, that flameco part is part of the whole that makes such a great song. As for the Dylan album, I actually rather liked it... I like many other things he's done... with Yes, obviously, and I know a few of his solo albums, which have some nice stuff too, though not at the level of his work with Yes.
