The Official Queen Thread

Yeah, for me it's either The Game or Sheer Heart Attack.

Stone Cold Crazy and Brighton Rock has some great, fast paced bass work. May's guitar work is fast and wild on those songs but Deacon kept up. Flick of the Wrist and Now I'm Here also has great groovy playing.

The Game is probably the best choice though, it's Queen's most bass heavy album I think.

While Rodgers was a bad choice for a vocalist to tour with, Brian and Roger had the right idea in not having anyone be the "new singer for Queen" and having somebody that's not trying to "imitate Mercury pretty well"... because nobody really can.

They should tour with somebody else, utilizing the same "Queen + [x]" format for their name.

Seaside Rendezvous
Good Company
It's Late
Spread Your Wings
Get Down, Make Love
Don't Stop Me Now
Now I'm Here

I better stop. LOL.

Yeah those are great songs. Songs like "It's Late" don't get enough credit. I can tell you are a true queen fan.
There are songs like these on their later records too like "Tear it up" or "Prime Jive".

I much rather see Paul Rogers up there with May and Taylor then Adam Lambert or anybody else with a similar range to Freddie's. The lead singer of the tribute band "The Works" is the closest I've ever heard to Mercury and I still wouldn't want him placed there to emulate Mercury with May and Taylor. It's not Queen and Paul Rogers, it's three guys that need/enjoy to work in order to keep the cash flowing and their tools for the trade are the numerous hits they have all written over the years. Queen ended in 1991, this is just a nostalgic revival to satisfy anybody still curious to hear what Queen almost sounded like many years ago.

sorry if I repeat myself, it's been a while since I posted in this thread.

I discovered Queen just this year, after being so fed up with the terrible rock music on the radio. It was a happy accident. Stone Cold Crazy, Liar etc, -- these kind of remind me of the progressive rock bands I love, just much harder. Great stuff. I am sorry I missed Freddie when he was alive. Probably great concerts.

have to pipe in - also dislike Rodgers for this role, though i like him in general. This is just completely wrong for the Queen vibe & it seems to me there were 1000s of other choices.

Whatsitoosit · 06-26-2009, 08:45 AM

the Queen vibe died in 1991.

Queen I is a wildly progressive and amazing record. Each individual songs weave in and out of pop melodies and rock soloing, advertously alternating between various styles and complexity. Other than the straightforward rocker, "Keep Yourself Alive", everything else is epic, including IMO their best song "Liar". Sheer Heart Attack is my 2nd favorite.

And bad mistakes...

I've made a fewwwwwwwwwwwww.

In the mood to watch Queen Live At Wmbley

Quality band.
