Maybe not, but it's worth a shot at 99p perhaps?

Perhaps, but surely it only counts if you are in the UK and making the purchase. I may be wrong about that though.

I reply what I want, sorry. Even if you are not interested in reading it. My idea of a message board is not that everybody should agree to the topic starter - what would there be left to discuss? I am not buying any tracks I already own from the internet but to each their own, good luck for your campaign, lol.

I think we should try to get a Queen song into the top 40 in the UK. We should pick a song and a week to do it in...we should organise support from here, QZ and the QFC and we should see if we can do it (via downloads). I suggest the song shoud be 'You And I' and I suggest we should all buy from the same place, '7 Digital'. link Ok, so it will cost us 99p for the track, but hey, this really could work, we really could give Queen another hit single. What do you say?

I say it's a silly idea. If I were to give Queen another hit single, I'd surely nominate a better song. Best of luck, though!

vadenuez wrote: As much as I love 'You & I', why don't you rather pick a song that was played live in the seventies, like, let's say 'White Queen'? At least, if it get's ranked as #1, we could demand Queen Productions to release a concert featuring it. 'You & I' was never played live so it would be a useless #1 song if you succeed in your plans ;-)

Wow, you're funny. Oh how everyone will be impressed by your witty comments. Queenzone doesn't have to be like this you know. Someone with a bit of bottle could break the age old tradition of derision, cynicism and mocking that is so evident on here. Clearly that won't be you.

It's just an idea to get the group back in the charts for heaven's sake! Ok, so you don't like the idea, you think it's a non-starter, fine, I can live with it, but do you all have to hunt like a pack of wolves..isn't there anyone on here big enough to stand up and break the mould?

Shane Jazz wrote: You and I is freakin' awesome, and I think fd has a good idea on his hands. The Queen community has been fighting amongst itself since the Q&PR project (and even before that). Let's come together for once. It's a great, great song. I want to see Brian comment on it on his Soapbox.

It's a fine idea, but I don't understand why it would have to be "You & I" other than to attempt to provide Deaky with another hit that's not a remix for the first time in God knows how long. Couldn't it be a better more powerful tune than that?

BTW ypu probably don't know who you're attacking, do you ? :-) Now to topic - Queen have produced MUCH more good songs which would deserve to get to charts, You and I is an average song and Cool Cat is one of their worst songs ever. Why not some of Brian's classics, like Keep Yourself Alive, '39, Tie Your Mother Down, ... Or Freddie's Liar, Mustapha, ... Roger's Modern Times Rock'n'Roll, Sheer Heart Attack, Cumming Soon ... John's Spread Your Wings, Back Chat ...

YourValentine wrote: fairydandy, my reply was to Pieter and it was totally factual and not offensive at all. You do not get many replies to a thread when you just post a link without telling people what it's about. Plus your original subject line was something about 99p and had no Queen connection at all. You should calm down, really.

YourValentine wrote: Absolutely. This board won't be any fun without you...

I second that. If there is more than one person telling you the same thing, re: you being the only aggressive person here, then clearly WE are the problem? No wonder QOL'ers are made fun of so much here. You guys are really idiotic.

Sheer Brass Neck wrote: Apart from the fact it's a colossally idiotic idea, I always wonder what motivates people to get things like this rolling? Say it does chart, what does that mean? That a grassroots campaign got a Queen song charted? Is that showing the power of the people or the internet's power? Is it any less of a song if it hasn't been a single? Will people think it's a worse song if the efforts to get it chart fail? What impact will this have on anyone's life? Some times I think some Queen fans own self worth is based on the band having more chart success than any band, and that the quality of the Queen music itself means little.

You must hate all their live shows from 1982 onwards then.

Why would you want to put an old song in the charts? Nobody with a real interest in music has any reason to look at chart positions, I think it would be better if you donated your 99p to charity and not on some pointless exercise in fan worship.

And of course QZ'ers are equally despised on other message boards. Does that mean this place is more intelligent or better in any other way? I don't think so. QOL might have more of the new and enthusiastic fans who have been drawn in by the website address on the latest releases, but almost everyone ends up bitter and negative in a few years regardless of which site they post on. It's only natural with the kind of quality control QP has. ;) Is QZ the kind of place where I want to spend my free time? Hell no! :P

Why would anyone post on a website dedicated to a band that has been dead since 1991? Why don't we all just log off and forget it? Fan worship? Me? Are you some kind of a prat? No answers necessary.
