If you could put together an album... Let's say 16 or so songs of hard rock brought to you by Queen....what would they be? All get it going by obvious one. 1. Stone cold crazy. |

This is an outline of what I would put on a new Queen's Rocks compilation (some of these are already on Queen Rocks LP * ): - modern time rock'n'roll - great king rat - march of the black queen - white queen - stone cold crazy* - tenement funster - sweet lady - prophet's song - tie your mother down* - it's late* - we will rock you (fast studio) - dead on time - let me entertain you - save me - tear it up* - gimme the prize (without dialogue from the eye) - i want it all* - the hitman - was it all worth it ........even if a new compilation would be really too !!!! |

I can't believe brENsKi is the only one to mention Ogre Battle. If we're talking hard rock, surely that should be near the top of the list. It certainly qualifies as hard rock much more than "Tear It Up", "Put Out The Fire" and "Don't Stop Me Now". |
| brENsKi 01.11.2015 06:30 |
exactly. some people's idea of "Hard Rock" is astounding...these people must have delicate little ears. Very little of Queen's catalogue would truly fit into the "Hard Rock" category - and very little besides even gets close to Hard Rock these people haven't really listened to Purple, Zep, Sabbs etc have they? and to those who say "punk" is still "rock" - that's akin to saying that "all cars are Fiats" and no-one noticed my missing "p" off proto on my original post |
| The King Of Rhye 01.11.2015 07:39 |

| The King Of Rhye 01.11.2015 12:51 |
Yeah, fair enough.....I see the point. |

Wiki is never a perfect source but Queen features on the hard rock page as below. link "Having enjoyed some national success in the early 1970s, Queen, after the release of Sheer Heart Attack (1974) and A Night at the Opera (1975), gained international recognition with a sound that used layered vocals and guitars and mixed hard rock with heavy metal, progressive rock, and even opera." Its fair to suggest the heavier side of Queen can stray into hard rock, especially live. |

No - it isn't - it's a sub-genre of Reggae. Perhaps [now] you get my point? |
| The King Of Rhye 02.11.2015 08:56 |
I find it interesting that some of the definitions of genres change....like some of the first bands that were called 'heavy metal', if they started today, they probably wouldn't be classified as that. Would people call a band like Steppenwolf or Blue Öyster Cult heavy metal nowadays? I don't think so. (dangit, I guess I can't use any of those 'alt-plus-some-number' things for typing in weird things like Ö cus I'm on a laptop??) |
| thomasquinn 32989 02.11.2015 13:20 |
If that gets you thinking, just look at what happened to Rhythm & Blues / R&B. Mindblowing. '50s R&B and '90s R&B aren't even remotely related! Early Reggae, also quite an eye-opener. I can imagine that people used to New Orleans jazz might also have been shocked if they came to Chicago or Kansas City in the mid- to late 1920s. |
| Planetgurl 02.11.2015 13:49 |
In early 1974, Queen l was placed in the Progressive Rock racks in record stores..... I remember that clearly. |

yeah "rock n roll" not "hard rock" :-) |
| Oscar J 04.11.2015 08:39 |
I would certainly classify Let Me Entertain You as hard rock by 1970's standards. The thin mix is letting it down a bit, but the elements are certainly there: tons of overdrive and amp feedback, quite intense drumming in places and a very aggressive vocal delivery by Freddie throughout. |
