Just thought I would ask, bound to have been similar posts in the past here! Haven't had a Queen track on for several weeks now - my last 5 artistes listened to being The Killers, Lemon Jelly, The Cult, Frank Black and Jane's Addiction - although did give Dream Theatre's cover a listen on Wednesday. Queen are never far from me though and I reckon I sing (or my version of singing) about twice a day of any random track from the back catalogue! |

Everyday. Around half of the songs on my ipod are from Queen, so it's nearly impossible to go without hearing one! They also play 6-7 Queen songs on the Claasic Rock radio so usually I hear a few there too. And lastly I always listen to Queen at night or when I'm bored. SO it's nearly impossible not to hear anything from Queen everyday. And like you, sometimes I start singing their songs :P |

I tend to go through "Queen-periods". Sometimes, I listen to them everyday in some form. Sometimes, it might take a couple of weeks. Now, a few times a week. Yesterday I listened to ADATR and Cosmos but today; none. I think about Freddie everyday though. I check this place and Brians soapbox out maybe once a day so "Queen", whatever that is, is always near. |

It's pretty much Queen or nothing every day, as nothing else wears so well. They are just a class act, and their song material is so varied. We've both got the black Queen T-shirts with the colorful Queen logo for when we ride our motorcycle, which is also orange, cream and black. And usually as we go down the road one Queen song or another is running through my mind. Something about the rhythmical bark of the exhaust seems to encourage it. |

Almost never to be honest. Queen is a great band. First band I really liked, but there is so much new and exciting music around these days.. |

It depends how much I listen to Queen. Like for instance, this last two weeks all i listened to was KISS (mainly their '80's stuff) and my many Zeppelin bootlegs. But today all of a sudden I felt like hearing the boys again and have listened to Osaka '79 night 1 and 2 today, Nagoya '82, and Concert for Kampuchea. Yesterday all I listened to was Chaos/Creation and Wild Life by Paul McCartney. So to answer your question, I listen to Queen at least several hundred times a month (song-wise) but I love others as well. |

every day |
| dewantari deaky 26.07.2009 02:52 |
almost everyday, even in purpose or accidentally listen to it because in my ipod most of the songs are Queen songs so when i shuffled it, Queen song usually played |

An album in a couple of weeks. I don't like to listen to it every day, otherwise it loses the magic. |
| brENsKi 26.07.2009 04:38 |
hardly at all these days. i still love to listen occasionally, but find there is far too much great music by other bands to hear also |

I normally listen to Queen several times a week, but go through phases of not listening to it at all for weeks at a time. I put GH2 into my car cd player two days ago, and it will probably stay in it for a few days, but before that i think i listened to GH1 a few weeks ago, listened to the Freddie and MJ tracks, and listened to Back to the Light today. Other then that I haven't listened to it for a while. Right now I'm listening to lots of Eurithmics, Michael Jackson, Scissor Sisters, Abba and some Eminem, (Abba and Eminem is a strange combination, i admit) as well as a few others. But in a few weeks I'll probably start on Queen again. I haven't listened to A day at the Races or A Night at the Opera for ages, I'll probably go for those. |

I'm currently in a phase where I'm listening to as much music as possible, including Queen. Lately I've spent several hours a week listening to The Wallflowers since I'm seeing them live in concert on August 1st. However, I'm still able to dedicate on average about 15 - 30 minutes worth of Queen every night before I go to sleep. I usually end the night with a good ballad, haha. Putting those two bands aside, I do listen to a variety of other music including other rock artists, jazz, and occasionally classical/romantic music. I believe it's important to experience other kinds of music, otherwise our judgements of our favorites are largely disoriented and unreliable. Plus, I simply love music! It just so happens Queen stole my musical heart -- whether that's a good thing or a bad thing I'm not sure. I had to struggle a bit to free myself from the band's grasp, so to speak. BTW, I have gone through extended periods of time without listening to Queen -- which is fantastic, because when you return you love the music that much more, or see it in a different light. |

Even though I'm a swede, I really don't like ABBA. Is there something wrong with me? |

Thanks - good replies there. Take the point about being so much music out there that you want to spend you listening time too! It is too easy to say Queen, Queen, Queen and not listen to other material out there which is important. Everyone has different tastes but the thing that is great about music is that you have such a plethora of great bands out there (new and old) and a wealth of music to listen too. When you have children (I have 3) and also have listened to the band since the 70's it is hard to get excited about sticking a disc on again. I think you do need to have a while without then dig out an old album after a while and give it a spin. It is also of course essential to get the children into listening too! Cheers. |

I had a period in my life (cca 10 years ago) when I listened to every day. Currently I put some live show in my earphones when the people in the office are too loud for my liking. Also since I've bought the Japan remasters not long ago, I currently re-discover them every sunday, when I'm home alone and don't have to care about the volume :-) |
| Bo Rhap 26.07.2009 16:49 |
Everyday.Without fail. And when i'm not listening to Queen,its Freddie. |

People, I want to share with you my happiness. (I think it has some connection with this thread) Today, first time, I listened Queen vinyl disk "The Works". My cousine and her boyfriend found an old gramophone on the attic and he made it work. But nothing worked properly till I brought my "The Works". And it was fantastic for me. That was the first vinyl disk I bought, by the way. And plus, today is Roger's birthday. It was a great evening... |

I used to everyday around 1992-96 hardly ever now even though I listened to some of Comos Rocks today, Queen are coupled with Metallica in my collection I dip in now & then. |
| John Oswald 28.07.2009 13:48 |
Quite a fair bit I usually listen to at least 4 songs a day lol as for which ones I play the most it does vary depending on my moods |
| ITSM 01.08.2009 01:05 |
Every day. Now I listen to Freddie Mercury: Singer of Songs Lover of Life on headphones. Just great! Earlier on, I went to a party at my friends place, and I got to play songs from Sheer Heart Attack. And they really liked it... |

-New to Queenzone but loving it- I have been listening to Queen on and off for about 10 years now and always been loooving it. For some strange reason i re-discovered the magic for real about 4 months ago and now i listen all day, every day... can't get enough! At work (driving a truck) i get my fair share of the songs but I just can't help it, I have to listen when I get home for an hour or so too. I'ts almost at the point where my bf is planning an intervention ;D |
| qrock 12.08.2009 13:17 |
I Listen to Queen Everyday, when I am on the Computer I'll play Queen stuff and I ALWAYS PALY QUEEN when in the Car. They are Great to listen to and you have such a variety to choose from. |
| qrock 12.08.2009 13:18 |

| littlekillerham 12.08.2009 21:56 |
Oh, about a lot a week. |
| Grantcdn1 12.08.2009 23:10 |
certainly weekly... have been listening and enjoying Cosmos Rocks after putting it away for a while...also put in SHA this week...have Inneundo active in the CD player in the other car.... it's cool to be able to put in some of their solo work or rarities too every now an then ie Brian's excellent "Teasing Around With Me" Just wish we could have more audio tracks from them in any form, QPR, Q+ whomever ie Jeff Scott Soto, Queen studio track rarities, solo work....etc etc. honestly I'd be very happy if they decided to re-work more B sides, non album tracks, and Freddie songs to get us new music.....I think Brian and Roger could have added a lot to She Blows Hot and Cold, Stop All The Fighting, Love Kills....Stealin could have had a new mix without the off key vocal in the middle etc etc etc |
