I remember taking my VCR down to the lounge of my college dorm and chasing everyone - even the football players - away so that I could tape the Farewell Concert on MTV.

To this day I'm upset with myself that I couldn't get the finances together to go see the Queen + Paul Rodgers tour. I was way too young to go when they came to the US in the 80s, so that was my only chance to see even 3 members alive.


I still love the irony from the Wembly '86 album where Freddie said "We're gonna stay together until we fucking well die, I'm sure."

You know how you see a bunch of kids all the time wearing Pink Floyd shirts and they all magically claim that their parents listened to Pink Floyd? I am the same way but with Queen. I have been listening to Queen since I am like 4.

What irony? By that time Mercury knew he had AIDS, and the doctors actually told him he'd be dead well before he actually died.

Or is this ironic in the same sense the song Ironic is ironic because nothing in it is actually ironic?

Freddie didnt find out he had AIDS until 1987. I am a very big Queen Fan, I've even gone to the Queen Fan Club in Barnes, London. It used to be down Pembroke Road but they moved it in 1993. I've been a fan since I was a little kid. But yeah Queen is awesome and Freddie Mercury is the greatest entertainer ever and not that Michael Jackson pedo. Oh, the best Queen song is March of the Black Queen/Funny How Love is off Queen II--way underrated album.

False.

Anyway, while I like Queen 2, Funny How Love Is doesn't do it for me.

JC--Depends on what you're looking for.

Queen (Self Titled) is one I love for that raw, unpolished sound. You won't hear this again, since by Queen 2 they became far more polished. Or Polish.

Queen 2 is one of my favorites, with that whole concept album vibe. It's another instance of the Tolkeinesque fantasy that turned D&D nerds everywhere into metal artists.

Innuendo is pretty damn good from start to finish. Could live without Delilah, but really, it doesn't hurt the record.

If you want another live disc, On fire--Live at the Bowl will espose you to more tracks, including some of the better Hot Space ones. A lot of Queen fans hate (relatively) Hot Space and the Game, but both have their strong points. Back Chat is a fun fucking song, I don't care if it's not their normal fare.

Live Killers has a lot of my favorites live, but the fact that it's played at like half volume pisses me off.

Best eighties albumes are probably The Miracle and A Kind of Magic.

So it kinda depends on what you want.

I've said this exact same thing to my friends.
