2, 3, 25, 30 for the Queen asks!
Thank you so much for sending these in, you darling human š„°āØ
Oh, this is tough...defintitely one from the 70s, because 70s Queen is just a whole other level of amazing to me. Iām going to say āQueen II,ā itās beautifully complex and wonderfully structured and lets me discover new things on each listen. āNight at the Operaā and āSheer Heart Attackā are close contenders though.
Hot Space. I donāt think itās a bad album by any other groupās standards, I just donāt like it as a Queen album. Iāve ever listened to it all the way through in one sitting. Itās just not really engaging to me. I do adore āLas Palabras de Amorā and āUnder Pressureā though.
25. Who introduced Queen to you?
You know what, I honestly couldnāt tell you. Iāve known about them for as long as I can remember. I probably picked up on them through my parentsā taste in music. I remember āInnuendoā being an album they played a lot...āBijouā in particular was a song my Dad liked to listen to quite a bit, because he enjoyed the guitar on that track. I also remember him having the song ā39 on one of his cassette tapes in our car when I was very young, but that was actually a funny case of me not knowing that was a Queen song until like....last year. Because Freddie wasnāt the one singing it.
30. Favorite Live performance?
Are we going by the entire concert or the performance of a song? Apart from Montreal, I donāt think Iāve watched an entire concert of theirs, because the live videos are often split up on youtube and so I just keep going back to my favourite bits. Probably āSomebody to Loveā from Montreal...maybe thatās Basic of me to say, but itās something I have actually watched so much over the years, long before I even took the full plunge into Queen fandom last year. The piano playing, the vocals...the energy of that performance! It just leaves me breathless.
