EDIT: Let me say that this is all in good debate and in no way am I attacking you. In fact, I respect your opinions for what they are, but I can't say I agree with most of them in the least. But I do sometimes get a bit aggressive in debating, let me assure you that this isn't personal, just a concious flow of thought - that being said... on with the post.

The fact that you call the last 13 studio albums of Queen bland astounds me to no end. Occasional experimenting? Some of the statements you are making are factually wrong, it's not even opinion based. I guess I don't know what to say to you...

Ok... let me throw this out there. I will say this again, I believe you are letting your preference for the first 2 albums define the band for you, which is FINE of course - I don't think that's wrong. But you are discounting the rest of their career, which is what I find to be... er... well, ignorant.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find more than ten people who share this opinion with you who know anything about music. You don't have to be obsessed with Queen to see the absolute inaccuracy written here.

Note: I'm not writing about your preference for the first 2 albums, or even that you think that they had "lost their edge". But if you don't think that the work that they did after Queen or Queen II was BOLD, DIFFERENT, or QUITE OUT THERE... then you simply are in the wrong.

It isn't until the box sets start arriving when Greatest Hits II features some off of Queen or Queen II, and you get a couple of more in Queen Greatest Hits III.
Well there wouldn`t be , they didn`t have any hits then

the best radiohead album is hail to theif. not ok computer. I like ok computer, but it reminds me of something pink floyd would have done close to darkside. My prefernce Hail to the theif> Kid A> amnesiac>ok computer> pablo honey> the bends

Really? I do hear some Floyd influence in OK Computer, but it dosen't actually sound like them at all.


David Gilmour himself said he's a Radiohead fan and dosen't really get the comparisons between the two as they sound nothing alike, they just have a similar vibe and thats it.

Although they don`t sound the same I think there are a lot of comparisons between the two.
Both come from a middle class background , both radically changed their sound , both bands have very symbolic imagery ,both bands have shunned record company interference by refusing to release singles off albums and also I find a lot of lyrical themes comment on the same sorts of things although with 3 decades difference.

I don't know, I was listening to OK computer, and I just thought, this could have been something pink floyd had done.
It just kind of clicked in my mind, kind of like how i though punchup at a wedding could have been Neil Young singing it, only not his writing style, just tones.
