Hello I'm not sure if this has been done before but I just want people to see my idea and to see other people's ideas for a forth greatest hits album and the ideas I have are 1- keep yourself alive 2- lily of the valley 3- March of the black queen 4- stone cold crazy 5- a new life is born 6- robbery 7- affairs 8- lazing on a Sunday afternoon 9- in only seven days 10- all dead all dead 11- the millionaire waltz 12- you and I 13- self made man 14- you take my breath away 15- lost opportunity 16- don't try suicide 17- innuendo (1989 recording) I would like to hear your ideas |
maths15 15.07.2015 02:27 |
Great idea, all top ten hits. |
Doga 15.07.2015 03:26 |
Is a nice list of songs but is more like a Deep Cuts IV, no? |
Kuijpy 15.07.2015 03:47 |
Pff what a crap list... lost opportunity on a gh.... haha |
thomasquinn 32989 15.07.2015 04:45 |
None of those were hits. Many have never even been released! |

Yeeeargh... wow. Ditto what they said. Only two are actual singles. And it's questionable whether or not GH3 should have even been released, being populated with solo hits, three remixes, two live covers and tracks dating back to 81 with one actual recent single. .... none were really hits but TATDOOL, the GM cover from FIVE LIVE and variations of Freddie's posthumous remixes. So just for Fuchs sake. 1. Seven Seas of Rhye 1991 disco Hollywood records remix 2. Bohemian Rhapsody (sung by William Hung) 3. Football Fight *(Ted instrumental edit w dialogue) 4. Godawful THE VOICE QUEEN MEDLEY with Christina, Adam Levine etc 5. There's No Turning Back (*remastered) 6. Stutter Rap 7. Dream of Thee (*the only good track edition) 8. What are We Made of? (Why not? They can't all be jokes) 9. Surf's Up, School's Out *(instrumental BEARABLE version) 10. Queen + Adam Lambert - Tie Your Mother Down (with Brian on vocals) 11. Marc Martel - Bacon commercial 12. Uptown Funk (*because a GREATEST HITS IV WOULD ONLY BE RELEASED IN AN ERRONEOUSLY LABELED AND COLLECTED BOOTLEGGED CHINESE CD FEATURING THE BEATLES ON THE COVER) 13. I just called to say I love you 14. 35 seconds of Princes of the Universe 15. The badger song (*featuring Kerry Ellis) |

Because they blew it with Greatest sHits III, there is enough for a fourth one. (mattz....not a bad list;-)) But, 'Queen GHIV' has a bad ring to it |
Nitroboy 15.07.2015 07:43 |
Don't give Queen Productions any ideas! |

My Greatest Hits IV: Princes of the Universe Let Me In Your Heart Again Tie Your Mother Down A Winter's Tale Keep Yourself Alive The March of the Black Queen Scandal Stone Cold Crazy Liar I'm In Love With My Car My Melancholy Blues Need Your Loving Tonight Is This the world we created...?

My Greatest Hits IV... ummm, yep. I don't want it. |
pittrek 15.07.2015 12:02 |
Why do you want to call it GH 4 when none of the songs was a hit, let alone "greatest hit"? |
BETA215 15.07.2015 12:46 |
I don't wanna be cruel with you, but: Another Greatest Hits? We have enough with the third volume. In the case when GH4 is released, they would choose hits who weren't in GHIII. And if they include demos or songs about death (All Dead), losers maybe (Lost Opportunity), suicide (Don't Try Suicide), a Robbery, maybe sexual affairs and an outtake of Innuendo, that could be called "Queen is Dead". And they have already done a Queen Forever, so it wouldn't make any fucking sense and it would be a horrid release for the uncle Sam or the common Joe, and maybe even for us. I could have written this being the first reply, but I hoped nobody paid him attention. |
philip storey 15.07.2015 13:49 |
I hardly ever play hits 3 so to think of a fourth edition.........Don't be so fucking ridicoulus !!!!!! |

It started as a joke but realistically. ... I haven't seen a Stutter Rap VIDEO clip that's actually viewable beyond low resolution. I've looked up dead links in the forum from 2006 but .... are there better versions out there? Even as a joke, I'd probably BUY "no turning back" as a remastered or high fidelity 320 k mix. I'd LOVE to see a high quality STUTTER RAP in order to *(ahem) create a karaoke mix with the video. Are there any live links out there for stutter? I'd have included Brian's Macbeth if only it were available. But also, unfortunately. . That would make the whole project actually desirable. As for that other WWTLF ...nah. It's too cheesy to be funny, and far too GRIM *(children singing about mortality with sad reverence) to be included. Maybe there ought to be an ITUNES exclusive. ... 15. PEPSI COMMERCIAL CONTENT with Britney and Beyoncé as well as 16. Robbie Williams' appearance on Jay Leno. ... (where he tucked an index card into his mouth to imitate toothy Freddie Mercury.) ... the piece of sh!t bastard |

The Greatest Hits album of 1981 was a very interesting and worthwhile collection of seminal hits, the ones that made Queen great. The Greatest Hits II album in 1991 had some incredible moments on it, and of course some big hits, but by the time the record company was getting them to release four or five singles, the second single from an album didn't do as well, and the third even worse and so on. This was felt particularly by the time they got to the Miracle and Innuendo where Slightly Mad and the Mircacle grazed the charts. It's a less interesting album because already it covers fewer albums than the first collection, but it's still an album I like to play from time to time, and the sequence of tracks is so engrained in my mind that I NEED Hammer To Fall to come after The Invisible Man. Greatest Hits 3 got a couple of spins on my CD player. Actually I bought the video, it was more interesting, because at the time there was no youtube, and there were many videos that I had missed growing up, so it was nice to be able to watch it. It also had the 'Queen' versions of the Made In Heaven videos rather than the British Film Institute versions, so it was a nice vid. But really, I think at the time I was just excited to be able to buy the latest Queen Greatest Hits at the age of 18 or whatever I was when it came out. Must've been about 18. It's not a great collection though, and it's not really Queen, it's some Queen, and a few things thrown in there to fill it up. It's understandable in a way, and I'm sure there were some casual Queen listeners who didn't have Barcelona or Driven By You in their collection (they might as well have put Foreign Sand on it..... in fact, why didn't they put a Roger track on it?) The thought of a Greatest Hits IV would really just be a crock of shit for me. In reality the track listing could go: Say It's Not True C-Lebrity (it would have to be on there) There Must be More to Life Than This State of Shock (if they'd ever be allowed) Let Me In Your Heart Again and then after that it starts to get difficult. There really is nothing else that could go on it. They shot themselves in the foot with "forever", and calling the album "forever" was about the tackiest thing they could do. It's really bargain bin stuff now. I was really quite disappointed with the whole 'Deep Cuts' thing (which I never bought), and that Absolute Greatest - I mean what on earth were they doing with that?? Again, I never bought it. Absolute Greatest was probably EMI desperately trying to hang on to one of their most lucrative back catalogues before they went under. Well, I hope it was that. So no, lets not do a Greatest Hits IV. Let's have a Brian or Roger solo LP, or even Adam Lambert with Brian May and Roger Taylor (call it that, not Queen plus AL for a new album, it was good for the tour, but perhaps not an album), or even just let them retire. Or get John back in and produce a record with the three of them, but John wouldn't do it, and people probably wouldn't buy it anyway. |

I kinda forgot this but the idea was not exactly a greatest hits but it's like singles that were never on a greatest hits album as well as songs that were never singles and amazing unreleased demos that Queen should finish |
Fat Bottomed Queen 23.07.2015 15:34 |
I personally think Greatest Hits III Is the biggest atrocity the Queen productions have ever released. |
dysan 24.07.2015 03:25 |
^^ this LucasDiego has the right idea. Although it should be two double discs stopping at No one But You to avoid any duplication / post Queen nonsense. Although I think that would be scuppered by the remaining members wanting people to see that Queen was a going concern. And they'd want to add tunes that have become well known after the fact such as Stone Cold Crazy to sweep up any stray Metallica fans who have just got their pocket money. So yes if there were to be another compilation, it should be all the A sides / double A sides. Perhaps even worldwide singles like Mustapha and Teo Torriatte. Just for LOLZ. |
matt z 28.07.2015 14:54 |
Maybe they could avoid issues by including a question mark after the release Queen+/- Greatest hits IV?? We could finally hear pro audio versions of 46664 stuff. Hear snippets of that guy Property of Queen Productions (melodyne his voice to accompany the tracks) Hear the PEPSI commercial jingle. Hear John Deacon's song with Errol Brown |

A little behind on the recording scene these days. Nothing big like a missing Prophets Song mid section. Just something that would get back to QP with some snide sarcasm. (No anthology) It'd make about 30 people in the world laugh |
