Towards the end of last year, Queen released a 'new' album: Absolute Greatest. As an enormous Queen fan, I was... disappointed. It seems to me that Queen have sold out, re-releasing the same songs on what is essentially the same album over and over again every few years. A conversation with a friend who is possibly even more of a Queen fan than I am revealed much the same feelings.

Feel free to comment if I've omitted anything, or if you believe any non-album or live tracks would be worthy of inclusion as extras!
* Unreleased, that is, as an A-side on a UK single.
** As original as it can be, that is.
I adore "See What A Fool I've Been"! Apparently it was a B-side from Queen II that ended up off the official release, so I dunno if it can be included. I have it on my Queen II cd. Yes, the one with the crappy remixes. DX
ReplyDeleteI've voted! So many great songs!
ReplyDeleteI've still only got two responses! This might sound like a stupid question, but are you sure you pressed the 'submit' button?
ReplyDeleteI definitely pressed submit! Shall I do it again?
ReplyDeleteHi Teakay, I like the idea, it is something that you can easily do yourself, by taking trax off any album and burn them. But the title for the album is a bit soft for a ROCK band.
ReplyDeleteJust my two cents. Hope that you will receive more respons.
Ciao, Tom
Literarygeek: If you pressed submit, you were probably one of the two that were there; some people have had trouble finding the submit button. Not sure why! Have had 25 responses now, but given the size of the data sheet, I'm hoping for a few more at least!
ReplyDeleteTom: Glad you like the idea, and the 'title' isn't really a title, more of a label until someone suggests something better... Feel free to have a go!
