I had long heard about famous Q and several songs of theirs, such as "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions". But, honestly speaking, I had failed to develop a personal interest in them, I mean, I had taken their songs to be as much common as other songs. It was not until two weeks ago that I watched one episode of "American Idol" on which one male contestant chose "Killer Queen" as his piece. I instantly fell into love with the light but strong melody. I began to search on the net for more of their hits, and came across songs like "Bicycle Race" and "Bohemian Rhapsody", which I liked so much. And I realised I just acquired a taste for Q.
I do not know much about this band, and I sincerely hope that you guys can offer me some suggetions about my enjoyment of their music.
Ok, Congratulations for discovering the best band on the planet!

I suggest buying the following collection in order to acquire a better understanding of their music. link
If you like what you hear don't stop there! The music you will hear on those three discs are only scratching the surface. For a list as to what you might buy after that, check out this and choose wisely. link

For further information on the band I suggest the following website as well. link
Wait until you go thru the rest of the Q.
Quiet Riot
Quarterflash
Queensryche
Queen Latifah
I could go on for an hour, like Treasure Moment, but he obviously is the resident "Q" expert. I'm gonna harden my heart. I'm gonna swallow my tears. I'm gonna turn and leave you here.
Queen not available in China? Huh?
I just turned the internet over and it said "Made In China". How can this be?
Perhaps we could send TM to China as our International Ambassador of Queen. Is there a 10 year plan? It could start in Tibet and work its way in.
u c, i'm a new comer here and i have little knowledge about Queen, so i hope you can tell me sth about the song you mentioned. the story behind a song is another reason makes me into the music besides the song itself.

I cannot agree more. The music just like a long-lost buddy who is so familiar to me. I am quite sure the music is to be one of my best companion.
you are right. i have access to this site, otherwise i cannot get information from you.
anyway, i have to be honest, i mean, censership imposed by the government is relatively rigorous.
i am really interested in the stance you, as one of westerners, take on the tibet issue. why do you think tibet must to be independent from china? i am curious about your opinion, and of course, other guys who has interest can join us.:) free discussion.

Mainly, for the Olympics. I'd kill to see the Tibetan National Basketball team play Yao.
They must play incredible defense, because they are so enlightened, but nothing beats the
power of the Monk Dunk.
Of course there's Queen in China. Don't over-dramatize the censorship.
And aat, as for a Queen album...I guess "A Night At the Opera" would be suitable for a first-time Queen buyer. Although, if you like Killer Queen, you could get the "Sheer Heart Attack" album(includes Killer Queen). I also recommend their live DVDs, such as "Live at Wembley Stadium", for a start. I fell in love with Queen after watching the Wembley DVD, so I think you'll like it too.
Welcome to the fandom!:D
If you want to know the real Queen, listen to the Albums. Not just the well known singles! A lot of people have become interested in Queen from the well known songs, which is great, but its not an appreciation of Queen per se.
