As we all know Queen Productions released a box set of freddie mercury extras such as the albums the singles, the instrumentals. But I am a huge fan of Queen but I dont know alot about roger like i know about freddie but since a freddie box set is out i wanted to make a roger taylor set also and brian for the future and i need your help to make this collection so far i have
1. Fun In Space
2. Strange Frontier
3. Happiness?
4. Electric Fire
5. The Video Collection
6. Live At The Cyberbarn
7. The Singles 1977-1984
So if anyone could give me a good setlist for an Instrumentals Cd, Some Rareties Cds, and maybe an interview disc
Thanks All
Nah, more like 5. Seriously, don't underestimate Rog's following. Personally, if I'd be forced to choose between the Fred-collection and a Rog-collection, I'd buy the Rog one anyday.
" don't think there are 20 demos of the Fun In Space sessions, since there are only 5 demos of th Strange Frontier sessions"
This is, ofcourse, bullshit. Not much is known about how much demo's exist. That a few demo's from the SF sessions have leaked doesn't mean that that is all there is.
I'd love to hear work-in-progress songs from all of Roger's sessions, and I think The Cross should be added in, because it was such an integral part of Roger's life (1987 - 1991) and he got three albums plus out of it. No one would buy a Cross box set because no one would have a clue who they are!
But yeah, I'd definitely buy it.

In addition to what Pim has already said:
Even if there are less Roger-demos than Freddie-demos (which I wouldn't apodictically claim, there weren't THAT many demos on the Freddie-box anyway...), there still are heaps of b-sides and rare mixes, which would be BRILLIANT to have in one box.

Philip, I wouldn't normally pick on your spelling as you're a geezer of the highest order, but what the fuck is the wrod "apodictically" doing an impression of?
Hmmm...I've to admit that I'm not too sure about the spelling myself. But I've just found the word "apodictic" (self-evident; evident beyond contradiction; alt. spelling: apodeictic) in a dictionary, so it seems to exist. I'm also sure it can be used as an adverb in this context. Was it the adverbial form I got wrong ? Is it "apod(e)icticly" instead ? I thought it would run analogue to "special - specially"...I fear I'm once more caught in the pitfalls of the English language.
I think what you've done Phil is manage find an incredibly obscure word which not even the most linguistically minded of us have ever heard of before.
I at first thought it must have been some bizarre hybrid word caused by a mistranslation from German to English. But it does appear to be a valid word, and the adverbial form is 'apodictically', so you were correct.
However, I don't think it's possible to 'apodictically claim' (disregarding the fallacious split-infinitive rule).
But I think you could have said "I don't think there are apodictically fewer Roger-demos than Freddie-demos".
Thanks a bunch for clearing this up, Bohardy.
I didn't realize how obscure this word is (though it isn't that common in German, either).
Well that's what you get from wanting to show off, I guess...
You're probably right with the grammar as well. I simply transferred it from German, thinking it would go analoguely.
I'm pretty sure, however, that I've read it like that (claim apodictically or apodictically claim) in an English text recently. May have been bad English though.
One thing that really makes the English language stand out amongst the family of Indo-European languages, is its impossibly huge vocabulary (due to the Germanic and the French "layers").
It's perfectly normal that even the most linguistically proficient native speaker can be confronted with a large array of words (even excluding technical terms, loan words etc...) that he simply doesn't know the meaning of. This can cause problems for a non-native speaker who isn't used to this problem to such an extent in his own language (which will usually have a much smaller vocabulary), because - lacking the necessary degree of familiarity with the language - it's sometimes hard to tell whether a word is completely common or very sophisticated.
It happened to me more than once: You snap up a word, thinking it sounded nice, only to discover that no-one understand you :)
