I'm trying to get someone who barely knows We will rock you into queen. What album should I recommend to them? |
| thomasquinn 32989 02.01.2018 19:02 |
Depends entirely on what kind of music they like, if you ask me. |
| dysan 02.01.2018 19:34 |
GH1 And they'll go 'oh I knew all those songs... were they all Queen?' |

| Jimmy Dean 03.01.2018 02:05 |
if not GH... News of The World or The Game should be the go-to albums. They are probably the least dated Queen albums. Queen, Queen II, SHA, ANATO and ADATR are amazing albums that sound like they were written at a time when it was cool to use multitrack vocals and stereo effects. And when songs like Fairy Feller, Misfire, Leroy Brown, Seaside, Lover Boy, etc... you understand where this is going. Jazz is a one-off oddity that was badly produced - but has some great Queen songs - however the lackluster production overrides and detracts. Flash is a soundtrack Post 80s Queen sounds a little dated. Same goes for Innuendo - which sounds very early 90s. Made In Heaven actually sounds pretty fresh minus YDFM. So back to what i was saying - NOTW and The Game have a very balanced production, do not *sound* like songs of the era and each have a healthy number of hits - a little hit-heavier in the Game. The only *dated* tracks of these 2 albums are actually the biggest hits (WWRY, WATC, AOBTD) + Coming Soon. Everything else sounds like it could have been recorded today. |
| NastyQueenie74 03.01.2018 02:15 |
I told them to listen to ANATO. You're right about we will rock you being dated though, I told them it was the "stomp stomp clap" song and they immediately commented on its age. NOTW was my second choice though |
| Sebastian 03.01.2018 05:15 |
'A Night at the Opera'. It can make a person go from 'oh yeah, Queen, they're alright' to 'wow, I've gotta learn more about these lads'. Source: that's what happened to me. |
| Jimmy Dean 03.01.2018 05:35 |
Agreed - you won't get that from NOTW. It's my favorite album by far but definitely no comparison to ANATO. To me however, I can see someone who grows up on Bieber and Beyonce being turned off by ANATO. We currently live in a shitty music era. Notwithstanding those that grew up in the 60s and 70s.... I was 10 in 1994. So i was very lucky to have grown up during a good time for music. 1991 to 1997 was an epic period. My generation's 67-75. So my point is depending on what you currently listen to - should determine what album is best as an introductory to Queen. Bieber/Drake/etc --> The Game .......... Arcade Fire/Vampire Weekend/etc --> ANATO ............ Old school ... Beatles/Stones/Zeppelin/Sabbath --> NOTW followed by SHA. |
| Invisible Woman 03.01.2018 11:05 |
I most love The Miracle and Innuendo and always recommend them. Or a few songs from each album. |
| dysan 03.01.2018 11:35 |
Give them ADATR and ask then if it's a failed attempt to copy ANATO |
| miraclesteinway 03.01.2018 12:01 |
Hot Space. |
| miraclesteinway 03.01.2018 12:23 |
Actually I'm joking - although Hot Space does have a couple of saving graces on it. My personal favourite albums are: Sheer Heart Attack, A Night At The Opera, A Day At The Races, News of the World and The Game. Sometimes I LOVE Queen II, sometimes I'm just not in the mood. It's a big heavy meal and it's exceptional in so many ways, but it's not accessible perhaps, to someone who may have a shorter attention span. I like Queen as well, the first album I mean, Liar and Keep Yourself Alive are brilliant songs, but it's not perhaps the best introduction to the band. Of course, that WAS the introduction to the band for the general public back in '73, so you know... perhaps.... Yup it seems I'm in the camp of people who think Queen's best work was their 1970s output, although of course there were some great things done in the 1980s. Their 1980s career is seen by some as over-hyped, over sold and under par. That may be partly true, but pretty much all of The Game is awesome, Under Pressure is wonderful, Cool Cat is a great song even if it's not their best. All of the UK singles from "The Works" worked very well - Hammer To Fall and Radio Gaga were designed to be stadium classics, A Kind Of Magic and One Vision are very accessible, I Want It All is that classic anthem-type Queen track. Some of the tracks from A Kind Of Magic and The Miracle seem to be a bit dated now but they're still good music. Pain Is So Close To Pleasure could practically only have been written in 1986, The Miracle and Breakthru probably couldn't be hits today - The Miracle itself is a wonderful song in my own personal opinion, but in retrospect it suffers from some of the synthesisers used on it, and its composition is a little bit Andrew Lloyd Webber for my taste (runs, ducks and takes cover..... it's only an opinion guys don't hate me....). I like Rain Must Fall because it's fun, but it does kind of fall into that late-80s Yuppy vibe - that said if I'm not mistaken I think that's what it was taking the piss out of, and Queen were always a band who had a lot of humour in their work. It's often said that the public are quite good at deciding what is good and what isn't good. I'm not sure how true that is since there is clearly a lot of manipulation on the part of record companies and has been since time immemorial. What is true is that laterally when Queen have released albums like Deep Cuts to get the general public more interested in the non-singles tracks, or the Queen Forever collection which even included one unreleased vocal from Freddie, for whatever reason the public weren't all that interested. Perhaps it was because the albums weren't given appropriate publicity, or perhaps it's just because people aren't so interested in the lesser known tracks. The enduring popularity of Queen Greatest Hits 1, and to a lesser extent Greatest Hits II must mean something. Greatest Hits III was probably a mistake - released 2 years too soon and with too much filler on it... although there are some nice song on it and it's a good way to pick up some of the lesser known solo tracks. Although I don't know why, for instance, they'd have put two of Freddie's solo tracks on it, one of Brian's, and none of Roger's.... they could have put Happiness on it to be fair, but I think it probably shouldn't have been released at all. Anyway that's my long-drawn out waffle, to bore the tits off anyone who cares to read. Enjoy your day and - oh Happy New Year to you all. |
| dysan 03.01.2018 12:41 |
If they like Queen, they will get something out of whatever you give them. There is of course a chance they won't like Queen. This doesn't hinge on the album I'm sure. GH1 was my first album back in the early 80s. I liked - and I mean REALLY LIKED - only 2 songs. My next was Queen 1 which was almost unrecognisable as the same band and I didn't like it very much. But my mind was made up. I was a Queen fan. |

Jimmy Dean wrote: if not GH... News of The World or The Game should be the go-to albums. They are probably the least dated Queen albums.Maybe so - but nobody's trying to prove that Queen have a current sound in 2018. The purpose is to show someone why Queen was a great band with a unique sound and a sense of focus when they were at their best. Whether or not we like it, most music fans aside from hardcore Queen fans think all Queen albums after ANATO have filler. If you're showing someone The Beatles, you go with Revolver or Sgt Pepper, not Help or Magical Mystery Tour. For Queen, the only option is ANATO (or maybe SHA). ANATO is the only album that showcases literally everything Queen has to offer. If someone doesn't like ANATO, they probably won't like the fluff on side 2 of The Game. Greatest Hits it is. There's a reason why most of the world sees Queen as a hits band like Abba, not an albums band. |
| The Real Wizard 03.01.2018 17:38 |
Jimmy Dean wrote: I can see someone who grows up on Bieber and Beyonce being turned off by ANATO.Correct. So if that's what someone is dealing with, you're probably not going to do much better than Greatest Hits. There are too many average album tracks that won't keep their interest. We're in the day and age of the average kid having a 7 second attention span. They're socialized by iPads by the time they're 2. Furthermore - if the person is older than 10 and their diet has been Bieber and Beyonce, then by this description they do not understand the difference between music and music product, and probably never will. Just look at the YouTube view counts for any real art vs literally any pop song released last week that already has a half billion views. These seeds have to be planted early in life. Today most kids learn that music is only about a catchy beat and reinforcing things they have already absorbed by the abyss that is popular culture. It's such a small view of what music can potentially be, and it's sad that most people in the west today under the age of 40 see music this way. Never mind a rock band, I'm more sad that they will never be able to listen to Vivaldi or traditional Irish tunes and even recognize it as music. Miriam Makeba? Paco de Lucia? Nana Mouskouri? Ravi Shankar? Not a chance. Grim this may sound, but this is from 15 years experience in teaching music to thousands of students. You have to get them early, or it's game over. |

This might be a surprising choice, but please read my reasons: The Works (if the person in question is used to mainstream radio pop, re: age-comment) This album has everything Queen is famous for in an easy-to-absorb-form. - radio-friendly pop-rock with catchy melodies (Radio Ga Ga, I Want to Break Free, Keep Passing the Open Windows) - heavier rock (Hammer to Fall, although a live version would be better, Tear it Up) - classic rock'n'roll (Man on the Prowl, I Go Crazy) - piano ballad (It's a Hard Life) - acoustic guitar ballad (Is This the World We Created) - some weird stuff Queen always pulled off (machines) |
| The Real Wizard 03.01.2018 19:27 |
^ I see where you're coming from, but there are just too many duff tracks. Why not just do Greatest Hits if you can get all the best songs here but also with I Want It All instead of Tear It Up, and Crazy instead of Man On The Prowl? |
| Sheldon 03.01.2018 20:15 |
I thought the fun was in not choosing GH albums :D But even if included it would be difficult. If you choose GH1, the songs might be too "old" and the pop-rock (which is extremely important outside of the US) aspect will be lost and if you choose GH2, you will loose the essential Queen-sounding songs. But of course, not many of those on the Works either. |
| mike hunt 03.01.2018 20:37 |
Depends what they like....If they like classic Rock like The Who or perhaps even Metal but they only know Queen hits and want more, I'll go with SHA and ANATO, even Queen 1. The heaviest album they did. .If they like radio pop/rock I'll go with The Game. |

It certainly worked this way for me. They're probably not even aware of it but my parents fed me with both 50s 60s 70s groups/singers as well as all different types of other music (classical, folk, Irish traditional indeed, bits of opera, bits of jazz etc). When I look at my record collection, its main focus/foundation is exactly that. 50's onwards pop/rock/soul and a big chunk of all different types of other music on the side. I'll probably never be a huge jazz cat, but I do have a fair amount of Jazz records. Probably only because some version of 'Take Five' or some other classic was played every now and then when I grew up. Same for Bach, Vivaldi etc. I was 8 when I first heard 'The Show Must Go On'. Of course a few months later Freddie died and Queen was all over the radio. Turned out my mom had 'A Night Of The Opera' on cd. That formed a really important foundation for my appreciation of the band. So by the time I discovered Queen II in the record store there was absolutely no way back. |
| mike hunt 04.01.2018 16:18 |
I was a metal fan, still love the heavy stuff. My Introduction to Queen was SHA, Queen2 and Queen. For what It's worth. If the person is a proper rock fan or metal those are good albums to start with. This was 1988, so Metal in the 80's like Maiden, priest, Dio were writing mostly in fantasy music. Dragons, monsters saving human kind and Maiden with Eddie, so hearing Queen writing about Fairy kings, or Great King Rats....And Black Queens wasn't dated so much. For me it was a natural fit. Most Metal music is straight forward and typical guitar driven. What I loved when first giving Queen a proper listen was obviously the voice of Freddie and the guitar sound. Also, how diverse they were. Hearing Brighton Rock wasn't really different than the music I was listened to back then, pretty heavy. Then followed that up with Killer Queen. Then stoned cold crazy and leroy Brown. I only heard the hits at that point, but when I gave them a proper listen I realized how great they were. For their diversity alone. |
| people on streets 04.01.2018 16:23 |
^^ For me it worked exactly the other way around. Because I am a Queenfan I appreciate heavy metal. (and becasause I couldnt stop listening to Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid' when I was 6 or so haha.) |
| mike hunt 04.01.2018 16:47 |
You mean Queen got you into heavy Metal? I could see that. They were pretty heavy at times, especially in 1974. Live they were a top 5 heavy band back then. Only a few were heavier. |

| Holly2003 10.01.2018 10:46 |
Good to see another FNM fan on Queenzone but some unusual choices there. I would've went with FNM's The Real Thing and Maiden's Number of the Beast for first-time listeners. The Real Thing is very accessible and a real treat. It hasn't dated at all. Live After Death suffers from the band playing the songs too fast with Bruce struggling to keep up. The first 5 tracks on Piece of Mind are great but, aside from 'The Trooper', the 2nd side is a little weak. Maybe that doesn't matter any more since CDs (and now downloads) mean 'sides' are less relevant. Powerslave is a strong album, featuring the great 'Aces High', although 1st timers might struggle with 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. |
| matt z 10.01.2018 14:59 |
^precisely why I'd chosen it. Faster songs, better sound. Never been a fan of IRON MAIDEN's 80's production values. I think the first two albums actually sound better mastered than the others. Maybe they're just too polished and its a format thing. (*never bought the remasters) Yeah The Real Thing would probably be the better choice, though KFADFFAL covers more ground. Can't argue with Zombie Eaters... |

Iron Maiden are easier to Introduce....If you don't like Metal no Maiden album will Change your mind...now if your a young buck who Just started listening to metal and ask what Maiden album I should get? The easy choice is Number Of The Beast, It's their signature album and very simple and easy to understand for a newbie. We all were Introduced to Maiden with that album back in the day. Then as Time goes on they will find out they have better albums. Priest I'll say British Steel.....by the way, I only like the first 7 Maiden albums....peace of Mind is my favorite....killers at 2, It maybe unpopular too say Killers but It's a great album. Even Bruce Dickinson said It's his favorite....Number Of The Beast at 3 then Powerslave at 4. The first Record at 5... Seventh Son at 6 then Somewhere In Time at 7. I don't like the new stuff. And please don't respond with the new Maiden is great. Your not gonna change my mind. |
| mike hunt 10.01.2018 22:17 |
Back to Queen....much harder because all the different type of music they played. I think A Night At The Opera is your best bet. Start With their Signature album, then move on from there. |

Sheer Heart Attack. If they don't like it, they they won't like Queen. |
| mike hunt 13.01.2018 04:46 |
Sheer Heart Attack is what started my love affair with Queen. That first side is killer, side 2 took a bit longer too grow on me. I remember thinking what strange songs In The Lap Of The Gods and leroy Brown was. Now of course I love both songs. The only song I don't like is She Makes Me. The rest is solid. |

They enjoyed the album despite being unsure as to whether they'd like it or not. They mentioned liking Death on two legs for the intro and "was the fin on your back part of the deal, shark". I find it curious how Sweet Lady was the song they recognized. I've chosen NOTW as a follow-up |

Did they say 'Yo is you a faggot?' |
