ah a Queen thread! It must live!

I think my favorite Queen Album is A day at the Opera but I haven't listened to em all yet.

Listening to Radio GaGa

I think my favorite Queen album would either be The Works or News of the World

News of the world is amazing.

Has anyone heard NIN's cover of the Queen song "Get down, Make love" ?

CatFoley16

I've not heard that cover before. I'll look it up. I'm always skeptical of covers of Queen's stuff, so many people try and fail to match Freddie's range.

I agree too that News of the World is a great album. I'm going to watch my Wembley concert DVDs this weekend.

Trent Reznor doesn't really try to match it, he makes the song his own while making it a tribute to the original. He even samples Freddie's voice at the end.

CatFoley16

That'll be interesting to hear then, that kind of take on things. I'll listen soon and be back with my feedback.

Cosmic Love

Same here. To me, Freddie's voice was so special the cover would have to be really well made to convince me. But it sounds interesting that they made the song their own, I will listen to it too

CatFoley16

The Nine Inch Nails cover was interesting, I'll give it that. I know it's more their style to do this but it was almost scary sounding. It wasn't my favorite version of the song but the sound is definitely original and they made it their own for sure.

In Queen related things, I did watch their Wembley concert this weekend. It's always awesome to see how great they are live and how much fun they have with each other on stage.

I know what you mean, but I'm a huge NIN fan and mosto f the music I like is probably considered "scary"

You did? That's awesome, I was relistening to my copy of A Night At the Opera, I have the 40th anniversary remaster they released, great stuff on there.

CatFoley16

You're allowed to like your 'scary' music. I'll stick to my classic rock and alternative/indie stuff and we'll all be happy that's fine.

I love the Wembley show, it's one of the first things I watched/heard from them so it's a special thing to me. A Night at the Opera is great too, it's one of the albums (not just because of Bohemian Rhapsody) that I'd tell a new fan to listen to for a taste of Queen's variety and amazingness.

Subject87

My favorite tracks from Night at the Opera are Death on Two legs, Bohemian Rhapsody, and You're my best friend.

I like lots of things, on my mp3 player I've got everything from The Beatles to Eminem to Megadeth

CatFoley16

Those are good choices for favorite songs from A Night at The Opera. I think they're the same for me except I like Seaside Rendezvous more than You're My Best Friend.

Yay for variety on your mp3 player though, branching out from the scary. I've got a good mix too, I think my most interesting song is a mash-up of We Will Rock You and Hey Ya.

That's one of my top 10 favorite Queen songs and I love the way I'm guessing you linked the video? Epic matchup is right lol.
