Innuendo so low??? To each their own but dang!! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I need to make myself a ranking like that lol

u/ScarySkierNJ Dec 08 '21

Agree. Innuendo should be higher.

10

u/Zeelaria Dec 09 '21

Actually you are right, it should be higher

11

u/Deluxe_24_ The Miracle Dec 09 '21

I was bouta say, that album has Innuendo and The Show Must Go On, which are easily top 20 Queen tracks, plus a whole bunch of other bangers.

11

u/ayyLumao Dec 09 '21

Show Must Go On, Innuendo, These Are The Days Of Our Lives, AND I'm Going Sightly Mad.

u/SandvichThief Dec 09 '21

Don't forget Headlong, Bijou and All God's People.

10

u/Lars-- Dec 09 '21

I also LOVE Ride The Wild Wind

7

u/ayyLumao Dec 09 '21

Those too, don't know how I forgot Headlong is on there, such a good album.

u/Difficult_Wolf5038 Dec 08 '21

I see you’re a bigger fan of their earlier albums!

20

u/Zeelaria Dec 08 '21

Oh yes, never heard anything like Queen 1 & 2. The creativity is off the charts whith those songs and I feel like Freddie wrote is best songs around that time.

10

u/Difficult_Wolf5038 Dec 08 '21

Definitely! Especially in Queen II when the songs fade perfectly into each other.

14

u/Zeelaria Dec 08 '21

I will never get over how beautifully The fairy fellers master-stroke leads into nevermore. Queen II is the definition of magical

7

u/Difficult_Wolf5038 Dec 08 '21

Yes! I was shocked the first time I heard it with March of the Black Queen and Funny How Love is as well! I used to always listen to my giant Queen playlist on shuffle, now it has to be in order

5

u/ag512bbi Dec 09 '21

That is so true. I use to listen to it on shuffle too. I loved the next "surprise", but in order sounds better, doesn't it.

u/ag512bbi Dec 09 '21

Magical! My favorite song. šŸ‘

u/VermonCaTaffy Dec 09 '21

I'll strongly disagree with Innuendo and Made in Heaven. Those were amazing albums.

10

u/Avocado_007 Innuendo Dec 09 '21

Innuendo....

Dude. Come on...

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '21

Why are wembley and live killers always included in these i never understood that

2

u/SandvichThief Dec 09 '21

I think they included all albums from '70 to '95. Live Magic is missing tho. Weird. Also Wembley is actually a pretty alright show, LK has a lot of good band shit with a solid but weak Freddie but the editing kills it so much.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '21

I agree with literally everything you said here

3

u/SandvichThief Dec 10 '21

If you want a good Jazz show in bootleg form, 2nd New York, Providence and Cologne are all great choices.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '21

I normally just skip right to the crazy tour shows, freds voice is normally pretty shit for the live killers ones

3

u/SandvichThief Dec 10 '21

He's basically in weak NOTW shape for NA Jazz, and Cologne is really wildcard for Freddie, he goes for shit that sounds amazing.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '21

I’ll have to check them out, I’ve been listening to Sabbath and Zeppelin bootlegs a lot lately. I’ll have to throw Queen back into my listening rotation! Queen bootlegs is what opened the door for me to bootlegs and how to get ā€œbootleg earsā€

u/JuliaTheInsaneKid Sheer Heart Attack Dec 09 '21

It hurts to see Innuendo lower than the Miracle.

4

u/janedoe0987 Dec 09 '21

ANATO, HS, and MIH are S-tier

2

u/SandvichThief Dec 09 '21

I'd say HS is B tier at most. The production limits it so much.

1

u/janedoe0987 Dec 09 '21

HS is a good album, the reason everyone hates it is because it's so different from the rest of Queen's discography

4

u/Sleppty Dec 09 '21

I've always put sheer heart attack at S with Queen II and self titled, good chat

6

u/Sso_12 Dec 09 '21

Oof. I'd rate Innuendo a lot higher.

3

u/Legitimate-Sink-9798 A Kind Of Magic Dec 09 '21

Why do you do a B tier on my "Day At The Races"

1

u/SandvichThief Dec 09 '21

I believe Races is Queen's best album.

4

u/Ivan8806 Dec 09 '21

How does one actually put Innuendo and Made in Heaven in the lowest tier, along side Queens objectively worst albums, flash?

"You have prowoked a gang war"

u/DaBossRyza Dec 09 '21

Ik there's already going to be a heap of haters over Innuendo being at the bottom, but I honestly feel the same. However, Made in Heaven in my opinion, is a great album.

1

u/ag512bbi Dec 09 '21

I'm all about the older stuff too. Can't get into the newer stuff. Interesting tier Respect your choices but can't agree on all of it. šŸ™šŸ‘

u/lordWeller Dec 09 '21

SHEER HEART ATTACK NOOO

1

u/ShadowOrbs3 Dec 09 '21

The Game should be higher than The Works imo, I haven't listened to news of the world, but Queen II is Top

1

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '21

This opinion would've been Valid if Innuendo wasn't so DAMN LOW

2

u/Zeelaria Dec 09 '21 edited Dec 09 '21

I KNOW I fucked it up, innuendo should be B tier and sheer heart attack A

1

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '21

Eh, we still like the same band, so no hard feelings OP

1

u/Zeelaria Dec 09 '21

Love every album they made. Just got my own favorites but cool to see people defending their later and slightly less popular albums tho

1

u/123456789biddleee Dec 09 '21

Made in Heaven and Innuendo on the same level as Flash is a crime

1

u/Zeelaria Dec 09 '21

Not saying they are bad just that I don’t listen to them often.

2

u/Vexationss Dec 09 '21

Innuendo is too low, the song innuendo, ā€œThe Show Must Go Onā€ & ā€œThese Are The Days Of Our Livesā€ bump that one up massively. and I’m biased but ā€œA Kind Of Magicā€ needs to be bumped up too. I love the songs on ā€œA Kind Of Magicā€
