I have a very strange urge to listen to Queen's Greatest Hits. Help.

DEAR LORD do you want me to come round and throw a bucket of water over you or something?

That Icon is NOT helping...

I haf lots of work to do and someone just mentioned summat abt Freddie M, and I suddenly had a mental picture of aforementioned Freddie M in drag doing the hoovering innit.

Everyone agrees on Don't Stop Me Now these days though, don't they?

[Take this comment either way, Queen fans!]

DUDE there was! I nearly played their grate-est HIT at yr GK thing but thought that that might have got me murdered. Love And Pride there, marvellous.

Prince, too.

This desrves a thread of its own.

Yes, even She-Hulk!

Kat, Queen's Greatest Hits is aceness, obv. Well, except for disc III, that's very patchy.

I like It's A Kind Of Magik.

RE: Disc III. There is still some comedy gold on there: It's a Miracle, I'm Going Slightly Mad....

They're on II, surely? III is all the dodgy collaborations and posthumous stuff.

[identity profile] freakytigger.livejournal.com 2005-10-27 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah you want to be careful of III.

I never had a moment when I thought "right, Queen are good after all" but I certainly seem to have drifted from not liking their big hits to loving almost all of them up to about "Innuendo" where I really have to draw some kind of line.

Even there, I wouldn't say it's their finest hour but I still find myself humming it now you've mentioned it.

Incidentally, it occurs to me that I should probably get around to adding you, if that's OK?

It would be an honour!

Yes. I checked since but thought comment had slipped through the net. :(
