Every time I re-stock or organize the Queen section at the record shop, I think of your passion for the band.
To be honest, I 'm not that huge of a fan of the earliest work from the band. "Keep Yourself Alive" is a great song but could I pick another song out and instantly know it is from the debut. That would be a quick and hard no.
I don't think you can call yourself a rock music fan if you don't like "Bohemian Rhapsody". Oh, and I like "You're My Best Friend" too.
As for 'The Works', I remember when "Radio Ga Ga" was playing on the radio as a single. And I loved the song. You call it a "cult classic" but for me it is just a straight up great Queen song. And yes, I like "Hammer to Fall" as well.
Given that a 45 of "Another One Bites the Dust" was the very first piece of music I ever bought with my own money, Queen is always going to have a place in my heart. But the weird thing about them is that I focus less on their individual albums when I want to listen to the band. I usually just dig out the 'Classic Queen' compilation and enjoy all the hits while "lazing on a Sunday (or any other day) afternoon.
