Not mad about the opening track; but other than that, pitch-perfect IMO ; )

I'd cut "Coming Soon" before that one.

Time for k a rl to do some reconsidering.  ;D

Seriously though, I think Queen wrote a ton of great songs, but only a very small handful of great albums. A Night at the Opera and News of the World are the only two that I would say are truly great from start to finish.

I know people who would say Queen II. I would say SHEER HEART ATTACK, A NIGHT AT THE OPERA and THE GAME are their best.

Yeah, I know Queen II gets a lot of love. I love that tune from Queen II that begins with the larger than life drums. Sheer Heart Attack has Killer Queen, one of my fave Queen tunes. I love the cover (and the title), too. I wish Queen I were more like the lead single, Keep Yourself Alive.

Yep. Before SHEER HEART ATTACK, it's not so good.

Yeah, I'm one of those Queen II pushers, though I wasn't always. Also love the first album for all it's still-finding-themselves charm. The first four albums are unbeatable to me. I like The Game but not so much the new era it ushered it.

One man cover of Led Zep's "Since I've been loving you" minus vocals.Almost as good as the original I'd say.

Sounding better than ever. Man did I enjoy this today!

and last night:



I love those rare moments when I am listening to music that just happens to be perfect for where I am at that given moment. I have heard this album before, but last night I enjoyed it as never before. It was comforting, much in the way that I have found the blues comforting before.
