They have no idea of what they're talking about. I can undertand people saying that HS ain't their favorite album since its SO different from the others - that's fine. It ain't everyone who can get used to that funky-dance-disco musical style. But I can't stand people saying: "This album sucks and that's it". But well... "F*ck them, darling, if they just don't get it"

but that isn't what i just said i said how many would put it in their top 3 queen albums? - not many if you put Hs above queenII, queen, sha, anato, adatr, notw then you've obviously heard something that the vast majority of queen fans haven't - and most of the owrld ignored - for that matter any comments yet on the titling of the FLASH cover?

OldSchool wrote: Hot Space was an obvious direction after the success of something like 'Another One Bites the Dust', and its funkier sound. It IS their weakest release during the bands lifetime, but it has some good tracks; i really like Cool Cat(nice rhythm guitar from Brian). It's easy with hindsight to say it was a wrong move, but it probably was; it alienated a lot of fans.

Yeah, that's why WE THE FREE PEOPLE OF EUROPE are making fun of Americans every day. "Flash Gordon" may be shitty movie, but it has one of the best soundtracks ever. I guess you guys are so "rock'n'roll" that you can't appreciate something different.
