The Queen Thread

[FORD]

Pat Robertson might have called Freddie a "godless Sodomite", but he wrote one of the greatest "Christian rock" songs ever........

Allegedly, the only band to actually take Live Aid seriously (practice-wise)

Queen KILLED it that day.

There were some standout performances that day...I really liked U2's Bad, and Bowie's Heroes...but Queen had the best overall set.

I was sitting out at the pool listening on my boombox, and would run in the house to change tapes on the ol' Betamax. Watched most of the show later, while Queen was good on the radio the video showed the work they put into the set.

I love all eras of Queen. This song has such a bitch ass groove. The casual Queen fan of the time probably hated it, but to me, this buries Dust.

[twonabomber]

The Game was one of the first records I bought. Liked Don't Try Suicide, too.

[DLR Bridge]

"Nobody gives a daaaaamn." Play The Game is a great song, too!

As far as "Hot Space" goes...

It has some good stuff on it. And I'll go as far as putting up one of the "dance" tracks against pretty much any contemporary poptrack.
(especially the ones featuring that Pitbull character)

Yes, even this one.


Or this:



Although, some tracks are vastly improved via mashups:

Shit Yeah....

I remember reading an interview with Nuno where he said Hot Space was his favorite Queen album. He appreciated how Brian May remained relatively minimalist for such an amazing guitarist. I'm paraphrasing (cuz I'm drunk) but he said something to the effect that 'the silence on that album speaks volumes.'

Let's go vocals only for a while...








And, of course...

[Nitro Express]

I first saw this wasted out of my mind. LOL! I was going "What the hell?"

[Jack68]

Innuendo is a great song.Some great songs on that album also.

[Nickdfresh]

This one drastically increases my cardio rate at the gym when it pops on the iPud...

[flappo]

Queen were good and Freddie could sing just fine, but their great songs are few in my opinion, and their hits have really been run into the ground...

I'd say they're overrated...

For the best pure rock vocalist award, I'd have to go with Dio...

lol , stop trolling

that's why queen had three greatest hits albums and dio had err.. none ?

the first greatest hits is still the top amount of weeks in the charts for any album in the uk - beating even the beatles

live aid - stole the show vs led zep reformed , u2 & the who - overrated ??

[flappo]

Freddie IS the best vocalist in rock. He and Dave are the best frontmen in music.

agree 100%

keep this up and i may take you off my ignore list j/k

[flappo]

some stuff you may not have heard from the miracle ( 1989 ) arguably their best album of the 80's imo

yngwie malmsteen raved over it !!!! ( elvis will appreciate that i'm sure )

[flappo]

amazing video this one - music's grate too
