[Lefty Frizzell]

Stone cold Crazy, Tie your mother down and '39

The riff in modern times rock'n'roll is great.

Sweet lady too.

i only have it on tape from back in the day but its the longest album ever - its over 90 mins on tape as far as the 13 year old me can rememeber? It sometimes wore out my walkman on one play!! "Death on Two Legs"!

Was going to start a thread on Queen, but found this one.

I don't think I have a favourite Queen album - anytime I listened to the albums I felt let down as the the singles (and therefore the Greatest Hits) were miles better than the album material.

Anyone changed their minds over the last few years?

Have the Queen albums been re-released and re-mastered with B-Sides yet or are we waiting for this money grabbing opportunity to happen still?

you're not listening to the albums properly

"sheer heart attack". but - aside from the wonderfully perfect "killer queen" - my favourite queen songs remain "seven seas of rye" and "dont stop me now". S.H.A. is one of the best albums i have ever heard.

Indeed. I voted the debut though cos it was the one that opened up their 70's era for me and showed me they were more than the 80's stuff that I'd grown up with.

Sheer Heart Attack followed super closely by Queen II

How do I love Queen, let me count the ways...

I remember Live Magic having truncated versions of tracks. It was a single LP.

Think the remasters were done in 1993. They sound fine.

Flash Gordon,very closely followed by Sheer Heart Attack. I don't think I've ever heard the first one strangely.

Queen gives some idea of what was coming but mostly turgid stuff. Still very much under the shadow of Hoople. Thinking recently how much some of my favourite Queen writing owes to the Beatles, esp the more eccentric and eclectic stuff. Bridges are being built in my brain to somehow rescue the Beatles experience for myself from the sea of warm vomitus. Life's too short for hating; on the other hand ....
