Which songs do you consider 'masterpieces'?
| That Crazy Diamond 25.07.2009 17:08 |
The title says it all. Just wondering, I'll post mine later. |
| Major Tom 25.07.2009 20:31 |
Bo Rap, Innuendo, Dazed and confused, I am the walrus, Life on mars?, Heroes, Megalomania, One tree hill and many, many more you guys never heard of. |

Physical Graffitti and Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin. Chaos/Creation In Backyard, London Town and Flaming Pie by Paul McCartney All the UK Beatles albums The Mick Taylor era and Brian Jones era UK Stones albums Creatures Of The Night and Revenge by KISS And everything by Yours Truly (Queen, particularly The Works and Innuendo) As you can probably deduce by now, I listen to albums. Not songs. |
| dragon-fly 26.07.2009 02:41 |
Are you asking about Queen songs or including other bands too? |

How are we supposed to take this seriously when someone has put not ONE but TWO Pet Shop Boys tracks in the Masterpiece category? Isn't that a "FOUL" or something? I'm blowing my whistle and throwing a flag right now. |

I hate lists such as these, because, inevitably, I'll leave something out. And, how does one define masterpiece? Really? Still, I will give it a go, here, on a personal level. Bo Rhap(there are many Queen songs which are favorite songs--there IS a reason I am a Queen fan, but, so many are a close second to Bo Rhap, I decided to leave them off) Baba O'Riley(almost up there with old Bo Rhap, for me) Dream On Hotel California(atmospheric to the max, man) Hell's Bells Freebird Don't Look Back Renegade The Chain(more atmospheric stuff for me) Hallelujah Gimmee Shelter The Load Out/Stay What's Goin' On Everyday People Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain Crap...already, I've forgotten Hey Jude and Imagine. How could I?? |

C'mon, you can't seriously tap your toes to that @#$! and say "Man, this rocks!!!!". There's more than one definition of "gay". This is a case where more than one defines this band. They're gay... but they're also gay... you see what I'm saying? But, Sir GH redeemed the thread nicely. Olias. Nice. |

While I agree that some of their stuff is very pop-oriented IMO tracks like the ones I named are well-written tracks which happen to have a dance beat. Left To My Own Devices features a full orchestra and was worked on for months - so what if it doesn't rock? Stuff by Beethoven doesn't "rock" - but most people would consider that classics too... |
| louvox 28.07.2009 17:52 |
There is my list of Queen masterpieces and master-crap Masterpieces March of the black Queen Bohemian Rhapsody The Prophet's song Tie your mother down Somebody to love It's late Save me Show must go on Master-crap She makes me Body language Cool cat Machines or back to humans One year of love Pain is so close to pleasure My baby does me Rain must fall |
| Micrówave 28.07.2009 18:05 |
Pim Derks queried: Stuff by Beethoven doesn't "rock" - but most people would consider that classics too... You're missing the point. Beethoven is not gay... although he may have been. Mendelsohn on the otherhand is gay gay gay. Again, it's not about homosexuality (even though your boys are way way way), it's about it being gay. It is hard to put into words. Just trust me. Listening, attending a concert, or having The Pet Shop boys in your collection is gay. And that disqualifies them from the "Masterpieces" title. There is help, though. And we're here to support you through this life-change. |
| Micrówave 28.07.2009 18:11 |
Let me try to expand a bit further for multi-genres: ROCK: Michael Bolton is Gay. TECHNO POP: Erasure is gay. COUNTRY: Pretty much everything after 1994, gay. ADULT CONTEMPORY: Celine Dion is gay JAZZ: Kenny G is gay RAP: Vanilla Ice is gay. (Also, see "Hammer") Anyone adding these to their lists will be penalized 15 yards AND a loss of down. Multiple violations would require an ejection. Hope this helps and doesn't offend. It wasn't intended to. |

Resurrection is very much 'of it's time' but if you dusted it off and re-recorded it, the song would stand up fine. And it'd be a masterpiece. !!! |

Micrówave wrote: But, Sir GH redeemed the thread nicely. Olias. Nice.Ha ha... but of course! Jon Anderson's first solo album is arguably the best piece of Yes-related music after 1975. Camel - Mirage Chicago - II Max Webster - A Million Vacations Richard Wright - Wet Dream As much as I realize these things all come down to taste, I recommend these 4 records to anyone who like anything remotely rock-related. Max Webster, in particular, are Canada's so-called best kept secret. They only did five records, but they were like a more accessible version of Frank Zappa - great songs with all the musicianship and quirkiness. They and Be Bop Deluxe are the two most underrated rock bands ever in my books. The Richard Wright album simply makes you realize how much of the Floyd sound was his doing. It's a horrible shame that this record fell through the cracks. |

Bohemian Rhapsody White Queen God Only Knows The Show Must Go On Songs you can here were carefully composed, and not just happened in a moment where someone would sit down with a guitar or a piano and after a few minutes there was a new song. |
| John Oswald 30.07.2009 11:53 |
I forgot to add No-One But You (Only The Good Die Young) I love that track it was so emotional |

But you can't really think Delilah is better than Lost Opportunity, which you omitted. And Hangman is the 7th worst rock song ever written in the history of Rock & Roll. Even John Mclaughlin's solo on IFE is better. |

Brilliant. I was giggling out loud like a teenager at the office while reading.
So true, and, in a nutshell, no less.

My Merriam Webster's dictionary defines "masterpiece" firstly as "a work done with extraordinary skill; esp : a supreme intellectual or artistic achievement." Per that definition, the only Queen track I consider to be a masterpiece is "Bohemian Rhapsody." Queen has a lot of great songs, many with superb vocals and guitar arrangements, but the bar for a "masterpiece" should be set pretty darn high. |

I've got god knows how many masterpieces on my spotify playlist but my absolute favourites are: Sail Away Sweet Sister Sleeping on the Sidewalk Who Needs You It's Late Ogre Battle The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke Nevermore Tenement Funster Flick of The Wrist Lily of The Valley Stone Cold Crazy Misfire Bring Back That Leroy Brown Liar Doin all right The classics (Bo Rhap, rock you, champions, etc.) are also really great but they get old when you're a new fan and they're all you listen to. There are plenty of hidden gems out there in the earlier albums and I tend to prefer live versions of most songs (except ogre battle and Bring Back that Leroy Brown). Also on the "hidden gems" the band just sound like they're having fun whilst playing. That feeling just makes you happy. |

If you want to hear some real masterpieces, you should listen to classical music; multi-instrumental, multi-layered, long solo's, harmonies, variations, songs that last for 10 minutes or more.... |
