As i said at the beginning, my own reason is that I grew up with Queen and feel i adapted with them...but this was not about adapting - this album was Queen's equivalent of what Michael Jackson did to his face!!! Hearing it back in '82 in real time, it was a voyage of discovery that left me wanting to find out that the world was FLAT after all!!! I think younger fans (in the main) are happier to listen to HS - because it's queen, and it's a voyage of discovery and generally they don't care whether their earth is flat or round - as long as there's something new to be discovered.
