A Night at the Opera

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

After pretty much ignoring Queen until this point I decided to check out one of their albums, that album being "A Night at the Opera." I have to say this album kicks some serious ass, and as such I want some more! So to the Queen fans in the forum (KK and Jon-lad), what are the best albums to get next?

Also, anybody else recently got into a well-known band that they have ignored for whatever reason until now?

:wave:

I'm partial to Queen II and Innuendo, myself.

Almost every record has some great cuts, as well as some drek. I mean, I love the band, but there's almost always a schlocky track or two. Queen (ST) Is decent, if you can stand the horrible production it's worth it for the raw heaviness.

I only first listened to Kiss a couple of years back.

get sheer heart attack and listen to stone cold crazy. then reminisce about our walks home from school talking about metallica. that seems like fucking forever ago now :'(

also, i prefer a day at the races to a night at the opera.

KK is pretty much right, nearly all the albums have gems but a bunch of songs i don't much care for either. there are a few that are consistant. Innuendo is great if you factor into it the fact freddie was on his last legs at the time.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Thanks, lads. I will get onto them as soon as my bank balance permits.

We had some good times on the walk home from school, Jon-lad.

Hahaha, I can remember the time you had to leggit to the sports centre to use the toilet before you would shat yourself. :lol: Good times.

anything but Jazz and you will be fine

So, as far as A Night at the Opera, what track do you like the most.

For me it was "'39" and "A Pro[phets Song". Both works of art

[Kane Knight]

I dunno. Comparing Jazz to The Game, I think I'd give the nod to Jazz.

And Hot Space is one of the most hated Queen albums by Queen fans, though I enjoy it.

[WestNZ]

i liked Hot Space, because to me it was way different to anything i had at the time, and it grew on me.

[Kane Knight]

It's certainly got its merits.
