I finally got to dive a bit more than their hit songs, and indeed I was pleasantly surprised, most specially by Queen 2 (which was my choice here), but also by Sheer Heart Attack and A Night at the Opera. I guess, in a way, they lost their edge once they found out they could be one of the most succesful bands that have existed.

I ended up voting Innuendo for nostalgic reasons. Queen were my first favourite band and after listening to their Greatest Hits I and II all the time every day, Innuendo was their first album I got.

Queen II.  The murky sound is my only complaint...finding the best-sounding version of Queen II is on my bucket list and my quest.Wink

This is one of my earliest polls. Who would have guessed it'd still be running over four years later, which is longer than the shelf life of most pop artists these days. Smile

Hmmm...I suppose Queen 2, Sheer Heart Attack, Night At Opera....but I dont own any of those.
To me they were always more about the 'radio hits' after the first 2 so the best would be just picking up a hits package with the best tracks.

1- Queen II
2- A Night at the Opera
3- A Day at the Races

But Jazz, Innuendo and Sheer Heart Attack are classics too. Queen I is a great debut as well.

For me it has always been a toss up between Queen, Queen II, and Sheer Heart attack - all three are excellent prog related albums.

Queen: A band that's outlasted most of their marriages and with a singer - the Liberace of Rock - who looks like a ballet dancer running for a bus, they were the band who "stole" Live Aid, the global jukebox where Freddie could ponce about in front of the whole world - according to Bob Geldof. Smile

4 stars 1973: Queen - Queen -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kKxjOMeU-rU8pi9tCml1e8rYKUt4GCTQU

Variously described as Hard Rock/Progressive Rock/Heavy Metal (How we love our music labels!), this is the first Queen album, recorded virtually for free during studio downtime at Trident Studios in London between April and November 1972 . Most of the songs were written by flamboyant frontman Freddie Mercury (briefly known as Larry Lurex in 1972 in an unfortunate parody of Gary Glitter) and guitarist Brian May with a token song from drummer Roger Taylor (Modern Times Rock & Roll), and with bassist John Deacon forever remaining the quiet man in the background (long before MP Ian Duncan Smith came along). Two singles were released from the Queen album - "Keep Yourself Alive" and Liar" - which also included a brief instrumental version of "Seven Seas of Rhye" as an album closer with the promise of even better things to come from the future "Champions of the World". Smile

Track Listing

01. Keep Yourself Alive  (3:45)
02. Doing All Right  (4:10)
03. Great King Rat  (5:41)
04. My Fairy King  (4:07)
05. Liar  (6:24)
06. The Night Comes Down  (4:24)
07. Modern Times Rock & Roll  (1:48)
08. Son and Daughter  (3:19)
09. Jesus  (3:45)
10. Seven Seas of Rhye (instrumental)  (1:45)
