that's hard. i'm glad queen II is well represented, since it's my favourite queen album. i'd probably have to go with ogre battle or the fairy feller's master stroke. i can't really decide.

Ogre Battle is a guitarist wet dream. And to think that one of Queen's heaviest tunes was written by the "Artsiest" one. Brian May often mentioned that in interviews that Freddie wrote a lot of their heavier songs

Freddy Mercury is often described as a nice person. Beyond that, I truly admire him for writting such a kick arse song. As I said before, whenever somebody starts talking crap about gay people and their music, Ogre Battle is my weapon of choice to make him shut up or go to hell. Incredible song.

Wether prog or not they have such a diversity of material, it can't all "suck".

You know? I actually have a thing for "Seven seas of rhye"...
Uhm... the best side of QUEEN II is entirely credited to Freddie Mercury.

The first 5 albums, though not easily comparable to any other band of any (sub)genre of prog, are, never the less, uniquely prog.
Each is a non formulaic, complex arrangement of vastly different styles of music, managing effortlessly to share one piece of vinyl (as was) and impressively to make each album sound joined up, without resorting to a concept.
It goes without saying, the musicianship is on a par with any band in progdom.

This thread is for Queen fans. Silly comments like the one you posted doesn't belong here.

I did vote for The Prophet's Song, but I do like all of the mentioned tracks!
Right from the start (Queen I) Queen "produced" some magnificent songs like Liar, My Fairy King and Doin' Allright.

Yeah, Doin' Alright is prog, but have you heard the original version by Smile? Beautiful, even without Freddy.

Yes, I've heard the original version. I agree it's a beautiful song. But I just can't help comparing it to Queen's version (which I prefer). I know it's a bit unfair comparing Tim Staffell's vocals with Freddie Mercury's, because Freddie being the better vocalist didn't mean that Tim was a bad vocalist. He just wasn't as powerful and pure as Freddie Mercury was, especially in the higher reaches.

Fairy Feller's Masterstroke. Partyprogrock!
Well, except that it doesn't work like that in reality. Everyone I know, even the progfans hate them, including the early stuff.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

^That's because Queen didn't take any of it seriously, had a camp, Glam image, and were better musicians than most Prog Rockers...
