Hatchetaxe&saw Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 A Day At The Races easily has some of Queen's best ever production and always reminds me of spring, which is not my favorite season, but always has me excited since it leads to summer. A very springy album indeed. Sounds super impressive on a stereo. And for me, it reminds me of summer. I remember buying the vinyl in the summer of 87, really hot day too. And of course, Drowse, THE lazy, hazy, summer anthem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Bought Innuendo on vinyl (the rerelease with two discs and no track edits) while I was I Ireland last week. Sounds perfect, definitely moved the album up in my Queen discography ranking (even though I still haven't decided where it actually ranks). Interesting that they switched TATDOOL and ICLWY for this release. I think I still dig the old order better, but this order oddly seems slightly more balanced, so I can roll with it. The artwork is absolutely incredible by the way. If there were ever a Queen release which must be owned on double disc, gatefold sleeved vinyl, this is the one. you were in Ireland last week? You shoulda popped in and said hello!!! I have the original on vinyl, probably the last new vinyl I bought for some time as the CD era took over. Got it in HMV, Cork. Beautiful album, their true swansong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I heard "Another One Bites The Dust" this morning in the store. :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Ever since ReGor mentioned bohemian rhapsody on here quite a while back. I've been trying to remember how it went. As you know, since I have dial-up, I just can't google it and give a listen, so I have to rely on my music memory. I could never understand how I couldn't remember how the song went since it was played on the FM back when it first came out almost as often as Stairway to Heaven. anyway, last night I was sitting at the kitchen table with my husband, and all of a sudden in my head I hear: Galileo Galileo Galileo Galileo Got a moose, got a moose Whether these are the actual lyrics or not, I do not know. I remember one day shortly after this song came out, sitting in a bar in Manhattan after work with a friend of mine. This song came on the jukebox. All of a sudden, my friend says: "What the hell kind of lyrics are these? Got a moose???" Is this Bohemian Rhapsody? :) Edited April 1, 2016 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad you refound it. :) (Btw, it's actually scaramouche, not got a moose, but as my favorite Freedie quote goes, "if you see it darling, then it's there") Edited April 2, 2016 by Entre_Perpetuo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Random question ReGor, but you're obviously one of the other huge Queen fans around here and I was curious, what's your favorite Queen song?

EDIT: just watched that video, W. O. W. Go Roger go.Nearly impossible question to answer. I would say, "Drowse" from "A Day at the Races". I also quite like "The Prophet Song" from "A Night at the Opera" and "Misfire" from "Sheer Heart Attack". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also quite like "The Prophet Song" from "A Night at the Opera" and "Misfire" from "Sheer Heart Attack". Funny, I always thought Drowse was the equivalent of filler on ADATR, but as time goes on I continue to find it's simply too strange and oddly hummable to be filler. Seems to be a cult favorite for many actually, and I grow too tired of Teo Torriate to ever skip Drowse, so I've gotten to like it a lot as well. The Prophet's Song is easily one of my absolute favs. Every part of it exudes power and progginess and brilliance, right till the end where it flows exquisitely into the gorgeous Love Of My Life. There's this one quiet solo rhythm guitar part towards the end that I've always thought sound exactly like something else I've heard but I've never been able to remember what. Few songs in even Queen's catalogue are as joyously catchy as Misfire IMO. Rather excellent for being John's first attempt at songwriting, though I'd still hold some of his later beauties above it. Cool! Thanks for sharing. Now I feel like posting my painstakingly compiled top ten for the heck of it. 1. Bohemian Rhpasody2. Killer Queen3. My Melancholy Blues4. You're My Best Friend5. Nevermore6. Somebody To Love7. The Show Must Go On8. Breakthru9. Don't Stop Me Now10. Save Me Rather cliche, but my favs all the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The only part of the song I can remember is the one I quoted. When the song was first brought up I checked out the lyrics to see if it would spark a memory, but it didn't. The thing is, I've heard the song countless times, and it frustrates me that I can't remember all of it. The part I mentioned came to me out of the blue just the other night. Is that Freddie singing both the low and high Gallileo? Who does the chorus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Freddie singing both the low and high Gallileo? Who does the chorus? The high Gallileo is Roger, the drummer, same as with most of the highest notes in Queen's opera backup vocals, the low is either Freddie or Brian, I don't recall. There is no chorus in Boh-Rhap, though Freddie sings all of the lead vocals for every section but the middle operatic section filed with gibberish lyrics. Did you say you didn't have access to YouTube? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I have access but can't watch. Youtube changed something a while back. Every time I try to load a song, it says "Error." I used to get about five or seven seconds of a song every minute. I will leave it to you to judge how long I would wait just to hear a four minute song. :sigh: :sigh: :sigh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
