Not at all a Queen fan. I can't even appreciate them ironically. They, and their music, just bum me out. That being said, some of their bigger tracks are all right.
Track picks
1. Bohemian Rhapsody
2. Another One Bites The Dust
6. You're My Best Friend

I played Galileo in my school's rendition of "We Will Rock You" and I've hated Queen ever since.
I guess this album is in the top 1000 because there's a good handful of users who kiiinda like Queen but not enough to rank one of their actual releases. Oh well, they're more of singles band anyhow.

Man, I can't even tell up from down on being anti-rockist here. Do I valiantly defend the right of compilations to be considered albums and risk being on the side of Freddie Mercury on any issue? It's more than my little heart can bare.

Well, it sure beats supporting their extra-crappy studio albums.

I still support Night at the Opera and to a lesser degree Sheer Heart Attack and Day at the Races. You can trash the other albums though, they're sorely disappointing, save for the singles.

My first queen albums were the red Greatest Hits and its companion piece, the blue Classic Queen compilation that were released post-Freddie. I've never listened to this one, but all the songs on this album plus later hits were covered in the ones I had. Those two discs had Queen as one of my favorite bands as a 16 year old, but once I started buying their albums I realized that they had a lot of subpar material. Once I started using the internet to learn about and discover music I cooled down on them a whole lot. I'd still probably put Queen, Queen II, A Night at the Opera and Innuendo in my top 1000.
But yeah, I wouldn't put a compilation on any of my charts, with rare exceptions like Hatful of Hollow or Dylan's Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3.
