Queen have always been one of my favourite bands. The first band I really got into, and followed. (Flash Gordon started it!) From them I got into lots of other bands, Beatles, The Who, Stones, Led Zeppelin, Sabbath. I go through long periods where I dont listen to them as I know the songs so well (same with The Beatles), and then have a splurge where they are all I will listen to.
Anyway, I am currently going through a listen of Queens albums from the beginning, and am loving it! The first 2 albums are as good as anything Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Sabbath were up to at the same time, and it made me realise that people have forgotten what a hard rock band they were in the early days. As much as I like some of the later stuff (The Works, Kind of Magic, Innuendo), it is the early stuff I like to go back to.
They really are a band that deserve a re-appraisal, especsially of the early stuff.
