Can't miss your video man always full of joy and interesting as well ...hats off

Queen 2 is one of my favorite albums of all time. white Queen is such a masterpiece

01. Queen II 02. A Day at the races 03. A night at the opera 04. Sheer heart attack 05. Jazz 06. Queen I 07. News of the world The rest doesn't bother me much. Just 2 or 3 likeable songs.

Jazz is my sentimental #1, but Night at the Opera is the correct #1. Queen always had a bit of prog in them, and their willingness to be different/try different things is definitely a prog idea. Brian May adores Kansas (he appeared in the Kansas documentary " Miracles out Of Nowhere "), of course they should be recognized in the prog world

Ending needed a GONG 😂

Nice show Scot. Actually Innuendo is my number 2 album. It's almost as good as A Night At The Opera. The Show Must Go On is a popular funeral song. In The Netherlands they are still extremely popular. At the end of the year we have the Top 2000 on the radio. Queen has 32 songs in there! Bohemian Rhapsody is almost every year at number 1.

Queen is my favorite band ever!~~ I have been a fan since the 80s as a child. I love your videos and your energy!!

Woo hoo! You mentioned Sparks! 😊

A great idea to do Queen, prog or not they are certainly prog friendly and what a quality top 5 albums.

Night at the Opera was my introduction to Queen, at age six, from my older sister. She played this for me, going over the lyrics to the Prophet's song and painting a picture of the scene. She did the same with Rush 2112. And she gave me my first Zeppelin album (4). That's probably why these are my favorite bands. RIP, Melissa.

Awesome seeing your ranking, My #1 pick is personally News of The World! Great ranking by the way though I got to say that News of the World does rank highly usually and a lot of people love it alongside it being considered one of their best

Really enjoyed this, can't wait to watch more fo your videos. Excellent reasoning behind the rankings, and I concur with just about all of it. Might have bumped Innuendo up a couple of spots and put Queen II at #1. Glad that you're not swept up in the sentimentality behind Made in Heaven. They did the best they could, but its just a forced collection of fragments, and the resulting songs are underwhelming for a rock fan. The 80s output is pretty patchy, with some great singles in amongst some dross. My list: 1. Queen II 2. Sheer Heart Attack 3. A Night at the Opera 4. Queen 5. A Day at the Races 6. The Game 7. Jazz 8. Innuendo 9. News of the World 10. A Kind of Magic 11. The Miracle 12. Flash Gordon 13. The Works 14. Hot Space (big gap) 15. Made in Heaven

Another great video. I LOVE the Jazz album. Such a underappreciated gem.

Saw Queen I believe in '74 with Kansas at a theater in Milwaukee,saw them two more times by '77 got to see them do all the hard rockers

Just finished listening to all of their studio albums. I still have News Of The World at the 🔝. But I enjoyed them all and I enjoyed your rankings Scot! Scheduled to watch Bohemian Rhapsody movie tonight because I just watched Rocketman last night. 🌃 🌉 I'm on a roll! 🥐 🦓

Great stuff Scot. Fully agree with all that. Especially Jazz. I like it more and more over the years. What teenage boy didn't have that poster on their wall!! Bought them all at the time. Is Death on 2 legs the most vitriolic opener you have ever heard? Thanks mate

love Queen, especially those 1st 4 records. My ranking is pretty similar. A Night at the Opera is an absolute classic. Top 2 tracks: The Prophet's Song and March of the Black Queen. also I happen do really enjoy the Flash Gordon soundtrack, lol.

Queen was one of the favorite bands of my childhood. I love the debut, but it really has a different sound than the rest of their discography. My sweet spot is Queen II through A Night at the Opera. I really don't like their last 3 or 4 releases except for a few songs. I love Under Pressure with Bowie. Queens diversity is astounding. You are right Scott, Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the greatest rock songs of all time! And I really hate that Radio Ga Ga song.

Thanks for the post! Queen II gets my vote for number one.

Great Queen Video ! Some of the songs on a Night At The Opera sound like "Honey Pie" by The Beatles ! So it is A Day At The Races for me ! Good Band Live ! Grear Queen Video !

Your top four is fantastic, and basically their four progiest. The debut is so underrated ....

1. Jazz 2. Sheer Heart Attack 3. A Day at the Races 4. News of the World 5. Queen II 6. Hot Space 7. The Miracle 8. The Works 9. A Night at the Opera 10. The Game 11. Queen 12. Innuendo 13. A Kind of Magic 14. Flash Gordon 15. Made in Heaven

First concert I went to. I was 13 years old. Qieen.. January 13th 1977. Milwaukee Auditorium. Opening band- Cheap Trick

Yeah let’s go Queen! Honestly, the song Innuendo itself makes that album above almost all of their 80s albums. I love that song sooo much, and not even just because Steve Howe is on it Queen is one of my favorite bands! I would say that they were semi-prog in the early 70s but besides that they aren’t Also Sheer Heart Attack is my favorite!!

All the songs off A Kind of Magic were *perfect* fit for the Highlander movie.

Hey Scot! Comment #963! Running late today. Recovering from a nasty burn to my hands. Boiling maple syrup! Don't ask! QUEEN!!! One of my regrets in life that I never saw them in concert. Big mistake on my part. Great vid Scot, wasn't expecting this one. Saw your comment on Billy's vid. Sounds like he pushed the ideas for the new album. That is VERY promising! Peace my friend.☮️✌️😎

Heart Attack and Opera. ! Those two were great. After those it it got a bit spotty. Great video. 👋

1. A Night at the Opera (1975) 2. Queen II (1974) 3. Innuendo (1991) 4. Sheer Heart Attack (1974) 5. News of the World (1977) 6. Queen (1973) 7. A Day at the Races (1976) 8. Jazz (1978) 9. The Works (1984) 10. The Game (1980) 11. The Miracle (1989) 12. A Kind of Magic (1986) 13. Hot Space (1982) 14. Made in Heaven (1995) 15. Flash Gordon (1980)

“Innuendo” is my favourite Queen album, I love every song and it’s a masterpiece in my opinion. 😌👍

"I never liked QUEEN very much. I just can not stand his voice.. (And i like Geddy Lee, Hehe), BUT I Respct QUEEN and I think that Freddie Mercury is the Greatest Frontman for a group EVER!! He was Awesome for this band! Do not get me wrong, Some of their songs are GREAT!.. Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the greatest hard rock songs of all time! But most of their stuff is just Bleh for me, IMHO. Their early stuff is the Good songs, when they were kind of proggy! The rest is just kind of Pop Blah.. QUEEN went down hill faster than Genesis in POP Blah shit"! Thank You for this video as Always! This band is Royalty in music, and should always be respected, as they are QUEEN & Freddie!

Same top 4 as me Scot. Those first 4 albums are fantastic. Innuendo is my favourite of the albums after Jazz

Innuendo should be a few spots higher in my opinion, but I agree with your bottom and top picks though.

I see nothing lame about A Night at the Opera being #1. It's a perfect album. The put their #1 song of all time essentially last on the album, and I'm perfectly content waiting for it.

Great list brother! Not mine mind you, but great reasonings nevertheless!😉❤👌

Live Aid saved Queen. Freddie had 100000 people in the staduim and .illions watching g on TV in the palm of his hands. Momentous. God Save the Queen!

Wow Scot. A walk through the regality that is Queen. Unquestionably one of the greatest bands in the world, I was fortunate to see them twice (76,77) in central England as a youth and man those concerts are still at the forefront of my memory. Freddie was unique in as much as he knew the limitations of his voice ‘live’ so switched octaves with ease. Brian May and his amazing home built guitar did things that electronic music could only dream about, Roger Taylor played and sang like a man possessed and John Deacon…. Well John was John. Some great albums there and a very fair ranking indeed. There was some cr*p but not much over the years thank the lord. A great, great ranking from God Save The King…. The King of Prog. King Scot man!!

Queen reviewed by the King ! This is the real thing, not just fantasy !

Where do I even begin!? Queen were the first classic rock band I ever liked. I wouldn't consider them prog but rather prog influenced. And even though I HATED the bo rhap movie, I do still have a long history with them. 2015 was my first phase. I hardly remember anything that wasn't Queen/Queen related I listened to that year. I got into them by sheer chance and my favorite album at the time was Innuendo. I was obsessed with the flamenco part on the title track. In hindsight with YES being my current #1, I feel like my ignorance of Howe has come back to haunt me. I chose to believe Brian did that guitar part! My brain hadn't yet developed then, so I was such a purist....(add to that, remembering instances when I came in contact with things that I would eventually love later in life fascinates me) 2021 was my 2nd phase (brought about by nostalgia reasons). I connected with other queenies online and at the time some of them were getting into a little band called GENESIS....eventually I joined their number, and that is when I finally gave prog a chance. So not only do Queen continue to define my 7th and 8th grade years but they were the indirect gateway to the prog that has encapsulated me for the past year and a half! At the time Genesis took over, my Queen top 3 was the last 3: The Miracle, Innuendo, and Made in Heaven. Rounding out the top 5 were Sheer Heart Attack and Jazz. And strangely enough I only had one favorite member the whole time: ROGER! I feel the urge to talk now about my history with prog.....even though its short but I do have the memory of a tarkus

Hey Scot! 964! Album wall looks great!👍😎

Queen is one of those bands that, to me, always resonates more for me in a live setting. I was of course weened at the teat of The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, Live at Wembley and the use of One Vision in Iron Eagle, and We are the Champions in Revenge of the Nerds #JohnnyLawrencePlayList lol Witnessing Freddy sway the emotions of a 40k plus fans with a fist pump as opposed to the albums is, to me, is like the difference between Zappa's studio leads and live leads. The live leads always resonate.

Sheer Heart Attack is Queen at their very best. Queen 2 a close second. Night at the opera The game News of the world

Queen II Queen A Night At The Opera Sheer Heart Attack Jazz News Of The World A Day At The Races The Game A Kind Of Magic Innuendo The Works The Miracle Hot Space Flash Gordon Made In Heaven

are they prog?, hell yeah, they're also glam, hard rock, metal, funk, disco and many other genres, i owe my musical taste to this band, God save the Queen!

Don't like to contradict you, Scott, but Queen were highly rated in the UK even in the 90s. On the prestigious and credible 'Record Collector' magazine 'Top 500 Collectable Artists' Readers Poll, Queen came in at no. 2 (The Beatles were no. 1 natch) in 1997. I do suspect they'd struggle to make the top 100 in the US at the time though. No complaints about your ranking.

Queen is a fantastic band, my favourite album is Queen II. I also adore Caligonaut album behind you 👍👍👍.

I see no reason why Queen couldn't be considered prog. They pushed the boundaries of rock by combining it with opera and classical music, and the production techniques they used for vocal layering were way ahead of their time. They also managed to do something that many "official" prog bands didn't, in that they got one of their proggiest pieces (Bohemian Rhapsody) to become a hit single without editing it to death.

Before I watch this my favorite Queen albums are Jazz, Innuendo and Sheer Heart Attack. I"m sure your list will be a bit different.

I adore Sir Brian May, Ph.D.'s '39! I'm a fan of folky-style tracks anyway, and then throw in science fiction themed lyrics and I'm sold. ...leave it to an Astro-physicist to put lyrics about time dilation into a love song. 💖

Queen is one of those bands with no real bad albums... they are all great.

The Miracle and The Works above Innuendo? To me the latter has much more depth and would be much higher in my ranking.

I didn't liked Queen 2 after first listen. But then I listened to it on repeat while doing homework. It did grow on me but very slowly.

"He says he know you." I predicted your top 7 ranking perfectly. My wife and I played a game. "Let's guess Scott's ranking." She owes me my pick of any 2023 prog album. I was 11 for 14. She went 8 for 14.

11 Innuendo? My top 5

QUEEN II IS VERY PROG AMAZING ALBUM

Black Seminole by Lil Yachty. Is it prog?

"I hate this album. hot space but tracks 1,2,3 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are prettty good."

Queen II hasn’t been bettered by anyone.

Their worst album is the Flash Gordon soundtrack - Other than that, they don't really have a bad album...

Did you know that critics accused Queen of using synthesisers on their first album? Stupid critics, it was actually Brian's guitar 😂 Until they released the game, they made sure to put "nobody played synthesiser" on the albums.

Made in Hell

I thought I was the only one who felt A Day at the races was a HUGE let down. It's too soft. Too much filler.

Hey man...are you holding out on us? You keep sniffing *sniff *sniff Sniffing is the international language of holding something "of substance" So...what u got?

Ending needed a GONG 😂
