    just wondering if any fans around here..

    I grew up with this band (parents' fave) but never knew too many songs (not even now) but I'm a fan of Freddie Mercury, I think he was one truly creative and talented musician

    what are some of the good albums - songs?

    hey, my name is Melanie, im a big fan of Queen, it depends what songs you like, or what genre etc . ..it would take me a long time to tell you all of them, but they are a fantastic band, and your right, Freddie Mercury is one heck of a musician, he is also my idol. but yes anyway, if you need to know any more, i would be glad to help
    cheerio for now

    Queen:Greatest Hits is a good album...it has Fat Bottom Girls, We are the Champions, Bicycle Race, Killer Queen, and so forth...
    another good album is Queen: Sheer Heart Attack...Queen: Jazz...
    But any of their Greatest Hits is good...

    Aw, I love Queen. Greatest Hits 3 is my personal fave.

    USELESS FACT TIME - Freddie Mercury went to the same art college as Pete Townshend :H

    Queen are amazing! I only have the greatest hits album the 3-CD one.. but there's loads of songs on there. Bohemian Rhapsody is the favourite!

    I love Queen, great band, hope to see them on tour next year, I always found it ironic though that my 2 favourite Queen songs weren't sung by Freddie(or written by him, but everyone in the band always wrote stuff)

    There are too many individual good albums and there is a definite change in style from the late seventies to mid 80s.

    I'd go for a greatest hits compilation to start with and then build up a collection. I'm surprised there isn't an ultimate queen box set like there is with alice cooper.

    New favourite- Greatest Hits II... I think all the songs are set up to make a story, but it's too complicated for me :)

    And I've got that Alice Cooper boxed set, 'tis the bitchinness.

    A good song by Queen is Bohemian Rhapsody. I am not sure if anyone here knows that song, but I really advise you to listen to it!
    Another great song is We Will Rock You.

    Queen is by far the worst rock band in the history of mankind. End of story.

    I shall always have a soft spot for Queen, because my mum always had them on when I was little too! Favourite song- Who wants to live forever. It may have to be my funeral song

    I do wonder why they're in the 80's section, as they're really a 70's band by nature... IMO.

    That's just me being pedantic though.

    I think thier last GOOD album is THE GAME (1980)

    The music they did for FLASH GORDON wasnt really an album like THE GAME so i would say THE GAME is it for them..........
