Queen: A Night At The Opera or Innuendo?!
Question: Queen: A Night At The Opera or Innuendo!?
Answers:
Unfortunately very few peole have listened to queen's other masterpiece which was Innuendo, so it's hard to get a reasonable answer other than, duh! A Night At the Opera!. On a track by track basis, Innuendo is overwhelmingly the stronger album!. However, this is because Queen had 16 years to practice!. Now, being a young Queen fan, I am probably one of the few to have listened to Innuendo before ever hearing A night At The Opera!. Therefore, I probably have a less biased opinion!.
To seperate stellar tracks (songs that made the album) from good tracks (songs that enhanced the album) from fillers (had no impact)!.!.!.!.
A Night At The Opera
Stellar: Bohemian Rhapsody, You're My Best Friend, Death on Two Legs, '39, Love Of My Life --> 5
Good: I'm In Love With My Car, Sweet Lady, Seaside Rendezvous --> 3
Filler: Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon, The Prophet's Song (it's filler because it's experimentation, i know some people love this one, and yes it's amazing on 5!.1!!), Good Company, God Save The Queen --> 4
Innuendo
Stellar: Innuendo, I'm Going Slightly Mad, These Are The Days of Our Lives, The Show Must Go On --> 4
Good: Headlong (worst lyrics ever!), I Can't Live With You, Ride The Wild Wind, All God's People, Bijou --> 5
Filler: Don't Try So Hard, Delilah, The Hitman --> 3
So that being analyzed!.!.!.!. There are definitely more stellar tracks on ANATO --> 5 vs!. 4!. However, Innuendo & The Show Must Go On cannot be ignored as being incredible classics!. However these are the only two that can rival tracks such as Bohemian Rhapsody & You're My Best Friend!.!.!. and well, the latter 2 are just more concise & approachable!.
Of the good albums tracks, Innuendo has more quality to it!.
Overall, ANATO was concise, to the point, splendid & basically had 2 of the greatest pop songs of all time!. Innuendo was a solid album but would have probably been THAT much better had they dropped Delilah, The Hitman & Don't Try So Hard and replaced it with Too Much Love Will Kill You, which was an available track at the time!. Had that happened, Innuendo would fit as a close 2nd to A Night At The Opera!.
Bottom line --> A Night At The OperaWww@Enter-QA@Com

I'm gonna have to say, a night at the opera (currently) because i'm listening to it more recently!.!.!. as you know!.
Every so often i listen to one album more than the others, it lasts about a month, then i move on!. when i run out of Queen albums, i start again!. don't take that to mean that i don't listen to them all, i just listen to one a bit more!. Plus, Bohemian Rhapsody IS the greatest song EVER written!.!.!. Is it just me, or was their work better when they had long hair!? maybe i just think that cos they look better with long hair!.!.!.
Queen rocks!! =]
EDIT: ok, pick that Mark K as best answer, he has more detail!. i got bored half-way through though (sorry) so if he says anything badm don't!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
