They don't like anything before 1978?!? :( And I guess "Dancer" wouldn't have been my first thought for a Queen compilation, but it's interesting :)

I've included really catchy and rememberable things to people who can't seem to understand music. I don't think many people around here would understand things like Fairy Fellers Master Stroke or Brighton Rock. I'm going for the catchy stuff and, I would of included stuff like Keep Yourself Alive on the list, but everyone around here has heard it because they play it all the time on the radio which I think is because it was like a hit here in the 70s. I shouldn't even included Radio Ga Ga because it used to be on the classic rock station's commercial as like their 'anthem'.. haha. If people my age were more musically educated in this area instead of liking rap, or country, or Green Day which is basically what everyone likes around here, except for the reclusive people who like My Chemical Romance (which is a great band in my opinion), well, I'd hand them Queen II. But the way people are around here, for example people who enjoy rap, I'd play Hot Space to them and they'd really love it, think it's the best album they've heard by a rock band. And like I said, once they hear this stuff, they'll want to know more about Queen. One of my friends who is a country music fanatic, has Freddie Mercury's 'TIME' in his music profile, for everyone to listen to.

Do you know what "Fairy Feller's Masterstroke" is about? I saw you said other's would have a hard time understanding it but do you? LoL
