Favourite Queen album

**Mount Suribachi** · 09-26-2005, 12:27

OK, I left out the live albums and the greatest hits albums.

For me, gotta be Queen II. Has all the OTT rock operatics that Queen were so good at, but not let down the weak, sappy Freddie songs that infect virtually every other album. March of the Black Queen is probly my favourite ever Queen song, classic Queen in the same vein as Bohemian Rhapsody and Innuendo

And anyone votes Hot Space, I'll personally recommend to Tosa that they be banned permantly!!

I wasted several hours of my life listening to that pap, hours I will never get back.

Flash Gordon Soundtrack is on there cos Flash's Theme (reprise) has perhaps the greatest guitar riff Brian May ever did - not to be confused with the cheesy Flash's Theme that made the charts.

It's really hard picking between Queen albums. I'm a big fan and I've got all of the albums on tape. Used to listen to them in the car. Got to go out one of these days and pick up the CDs I'm missing.

I'm with you on "March of the Black Queen". It's also one of my favorites. The whole black side of Queen II is particularly good.

But... I've got a soft spot for the Flash Gordon album. I loved that movie and really became a Queen fan after I picked up the album. Also, I used to play laser tag at the Trocadero to those tracks, so it brings back good memories.

I also love "Jazz", with "Don't Stop Me Now" and "Mustapha" as two of my favorites tracks.

"A Kind of Magic" also rocks with all the "Highlander" theme tracks.

Hell, I like all their stuff. Even "Hot Space".

Anybody else out there big enough Queen freaks that they can actually take this poll?

Gah! Who the hell is Queen?

Where are the greatest hits series? I'll say that it's between the second and the third of this series (and yes I know it's a compilation).

Now, that's a really tough one...

I think I'd go with "A Night at the Opera" ... but depending on the mood my choice might look differently tomorrow

They don't count as albums in my eyes. Its to do with an album being greater than the sum of its parts, the way its constructed. Many of the best Queen songs were never released as singles. One only has to look at the songs which were staples of their live shows, but never singles.

Gah! I despise Queen.

God Save Queen! One of the mightiest bands of all time...

Night at the Opera without a doubt

Death on two legs, Im in love with my car, Your my best friend and the imfamous Bohemian Rhapsody. I also love the Prophet song. Not a bad track on this album.
