Queen

Great too see fans of Queen and of Freddie.
I have all the albums by Queen, too. However, my favourite albums are the very first: Queen, Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack. Also the others are great but these have something more, something the others album don't have! My favourite album is Queen II: it contains a lot of brilliant songs, although, unfortunately, they're not famous, like The March of the Black Queen, Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke, White Queen, Ogre battle...
I love this album even because of the voice Freddie had at that time: it was so sweet (just think to "Nevermore"), so perfect!

I also like the "look" Freddie and the others had: long hair, black nails and everything.

Hey FFGuru, are you kidding? You had an opportunity to go and see Queen live (even if with Paul) and you decided not to go? I would have gone! Hope to see them also here in Italy soon!

Well *scratches head* yeah it was a bit odd that I didn't go now I think about it. But it's just personal preference I think, I don't think it could ever be the sam e for me, I'm an irritating purist in that respect haha

Yeah the early stuff, especially pre-1975 is pretty underrated. There's certain songs I like, Liar, Keep Yourself Alive and Sheer Heart Attack spring to mind. The look makes me smile even now lol

Yeah, they were a bit weird! But Freddie in an interview said (in 1985 more or less) : " I would look ridiculous if I dressed like I used to in the 70s... Well I looked ridiculous then, but it worked!!"

Anyway... I know that without Freddie and John (remember that he was an important member of the band) it's not the same anymore, we can't speak of "Queen" anymore... But just go there and listen to brian and Roger...Well, I wouldn't have missed that opportunity!

Unfortunately, as you said, the early works are underrated and almost unknown. But, for me, they're the best!
