Which album do you think is the best bassguitaralbum when you want to show John's qualities ? I think John is a great bassplayer on record. My choices are "Jazz" and "The Game"
Jazz : listen to mustapha, jealousy, BR, Dead on time for example. Great and difficult songs for a bassplayer.
The Game : The mix on this album is much better and the bassguitar is louder. Songs like Dragon attack, AOBTD, CLTCL, DTS and SASS are great for a bassplayer.
another question : I read somewhere that they recorded Jazz with two different bassguitars and basslines for almost each song. Is this true ?
Being a bassist it is difficult to pick out 1 album
But if I had to I would say Queen II, that album has some excellent playing on it
But every album has some great playing by John
I'm not gonna go into every album but for example - Millionaire Waltz, Jealosy, Show Must Go On to name just a few
Probably the worst (if that word is the corect one) is News Of The World - not much going on there really - except parts of Champions are good

Of the 11 songs on there, John only plays on 7!
And in 'Fight From The Inside' Roger plays bass, you know that!?! :)
I think Bohardy was counting that in the 4 songs John didn't play on. Roger also played bass on Sheer Heart Attack, and we will rock you has no bass obviously. What's the 4th one then? Does My Meloncholy Blues have bass? Can't remember...
We Will Rock You
Sheer Heart Attack
Fight From The Inside
Who Needs You
All John-bassless.

My Meloncholy Blues has a bassline :) It soundes very good with the piano.. :) It's the guitar that is not in that song.
id say
the game; aobtd, DA
a night at the opera; bohemion, ymbf, DEath on 2
a day at the races; tie ya mother down, millionare
finally but just for 1 or two songs Queen 2 with march of the black queen.
