- YES!!
-
- I was really surprised to find that you liked the Miracle more than
- Innuendo, I found Miracle to be very disappointing. As far as my choices
- of which ones to buy:
-
- I agree start with the two compilations and build from there, but if you
- want albums:
-
- 1) A Night At the Opera (nothing like it, before or after)
- 2) The Game (their 'popish peak')
- 3) News of the World (very good-solid end to end)
- 4) Innuendo (very impressive start, and finish, filler in middle)
- 5) A Kind of Magic (I like about half of this album but that is excellent)
-
- As far as the rest of the albums go, I guess I'm not a big enough Queen fan
- to listen to them all the time from end to end. Every other album has at
- least a few really strong songs, as far as where I would go next, I would
- say that I would get: Jazz, A Day at the Races, and then maybe Shear Heart
- Attack.
-
- Again, this is my opinion, and many may argue I'm nuts, but when there has
- been so much good music over such a long time, its hard to narrow it down.
