One of my favorite bands ever. Freddie Mercury has got to be one of, if not THE, best front man of all time. My first encounter with them was when I was about 11 and my uncle had aVHS of them playing live in London at Hyde Park. I've been a fan ever since.
My favorite song is Killer Queen. |

That scene is classic because really, who hasn't been in a car full of friends singing Bohemian Rhapsody at the top of their lungs?

I don't think I have met anyone who doesn't actually like Queen.
I like them, although all I have is the 3Disc Platinum Collection and the Live At Wembley/Return Of The Champions DVD so I would actually like to expand my collection, so anyone who can recomend some of their albums to get it would be appreciated. |

I am a HUGE fan of Queen. It's my dad's fault. When I was growing up, my dad modelled his own moustache on that of Freddy Mercury.

One of the best bands ever - I never get sick of listening to Queen. They have a song for every occasion.
Freddie could blow anyone off the stage. |

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.

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

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 am somewhat of a fan of theirs and actually own 2 of their albums on vinyl
-Got a cool Queen t-shirt with their logo and name plus We Will Rock You on it It's kinda weird how We Are The Champions and We Will Rock You have become sports anthems now |

I didn't see a video for the studio version. The "Killer Queen" Tribute has some decent covers by some known artists. |
