    I wish I could have seen Queen back in the day. I love watching videos of them. They're an amazing talent I think. On the Paul Rodgers + Queen note, I'd be interested in seeing that show because I'd like to hear the music by the original musicians, but I'm not about to spend $200 to see another guy sing for them. I don't like the whole replacing your frontman thing. At least they didn't commercialize the hell out of it like the INXS thing. But I'm going on a tangent there, I'd just rather see creative minds come up with new things if you're getting a new frontman.

    As the self-proclaimed "Biggest Queen Fan" in the Pit, I have to say...

    Queen was the best band ever.
    Freddie Mercury was the greatest frontman ever.
    John Deacon is the most underrated bassist of all time.

    I never get tired of thier music.

    :)

    Freddie's voice is unbeatable!!
    and I agree with you on that John Deacon comment. :( he is and that's sad.
    he wrote some fine tunes back in the day. :)

    Brian May is amazing!!!

    Check out his solo performance of Hammer To Fall

    he is.
    I don't understand anything about guitars and all the technical stuff in music but I do recognise a good riff when I hear one! :)
    I also like Innuendo very much, if I could play the guitar, that'd be one of the first songs I'd wanna learn! :)

    Under pressure with david bowie is one of my all time favourite songs!
    When I was born, the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father, I'm very sorry. We did everything we could. But he pulled through......

    I was so young when he died that I don't exactly remember anything about it. but I read some book about him and that made me really sad. :(
    he was so awesome!

    Love the band. I own every album, even the recent Queen & Paul Rodgers live CD/DVD that is out now.

    Great songwriters. "I'm in Love with my car", "I'm going Slightly mad", "We will rock you", "All Dead", "Ogre Battle"... man so many great songs...
    "It's the American Dream I am disbelieving... When the gas in my tank feels like money in the bank... I’m gonna blow it all this time, take me one last ride..." - Gone (vedder)

    Don't Stop Me Now really is a class tune.
    but I've never been that fond of Fat Bottomed Girls.. dunno exactly why. :)
    maybe cus I'm a girl. :p

    I don't have nearly all of the albums. something like 5. I was so happy when I found News of the World from a tiny record store in Oulu. (still in Finland but nowhere near my hometown) :D

    I'm thinking that Innuendo is my favourite album..

    I am a huge fan of their album "Sheer Heart Attack". Have been since I first heard the album as a teen ager. Although "A Night At The Opera" is considered their classic album, "Sheer Heart Attack" has it all for me.

    Straight ahead rock - "Stone Cold Crazy" (which Metallica really didn't pull off properly on "Garage Days"), "Brighton Rock" (Brian May's best guitar work ever, IMHO), "Now I'm Here"

    The artsy fartsy stuff - "Lily of the Valley", "Bring Back That Leroy Brown", "In The Lap Of The Gods"

    Great pop rock - "Killer Queen", "Misfire"

    Where else can I go without quoting all the songs on the album? This album I feel is not only Queen's most under rated album, but is also one of the most under rated albums in rock and roll of all time.

    I don't really like queen, weird isn't it?

    Anyway, I like some songs... but that's it, I couldn't stand listening to a whole album.
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    but doesn't the fact that you like some songs make you a person who likes Queen? :p but it's not your favourite.

    well, I too sometimes have "trouble" listening through some whole album at once. cause there's a lot of the artsy stuff..
