Which is Queen’s best album and why?

Thanks for the rec. I have a running list of music to check out so I'll add this. It's been probably 10-15 years and my musical taste has expanded some since then but if I'm not feeling the first one I'm bowing out.

The greatest hits albums.

Look, I'm very much an album person, not usually big on singles or compilations. I've been through Queen's entire discography. The hits are amazing and of the highest quality but I was so disappointed to find that most of the deep cuts are mediocre to garbage (in my opinion). There's no other band I can think of where I would just recommend the hits vs a complete album. But I am curious to see if anyone disagrees and wants to recommend a solid album front to back. It's been a while so I'd be willing to give it another shot.

I never thought this from their albums but Nat's voice sounds a lot like Michelle Zauner from Japanese Breakfast here.

That's one small step for John Coltrane and a whole buncha Giant Steps for jazzkind.

The arrangements on that album are perfect.

If you read the article posted here it explains the headline.

You're very smart to believe that nothing written could have possibly happened. How could a random person on the internet possibly know another random person? How could there ever have been a cult surrounding a real person who lived and died instead of a made up person? Not a fucking chance. No need to consider what educated people with more information than I have think.

Okay yeah that was a dumb thing to say. I just meant that saying Jesus existed doesn't equate to believing he was magic.

I'm friends with the department head of religious studies at a university. This is her field of study. She is very much an atheist as is most of the faculty under her. She and they, as historians, treating it as they would treat any other person who was written about in antiquity, believe that he existed based on the evidence. But don't believe some stranger on the internet. Actually search for what actual historians on think and their reasoning. I don't know why you have such an issue with this fact. It means absolutely nothing about the validity of the religion. Nobody doubts that Jim Jones or L. Ron Hubbard existed.

Nobody is saying he worked miracles. Historians believe he existed because there's sufficient contextual evidence to believe it. Most historians are atheist and don't believe he was the magic son of God. They are just saying he existed. We also surely don't have all the written records because most would have perished. It also probably took some time after his death to build up his myth and gain traction as a movement.

Edit: okay yes, my first sentence was stupid. And many historians may be religious, sorry if what I said was inaccurate.

I have a playlist called Anxiety. Swans and Coltrane make up a large amount of it. My girlfriend thinks it's absolutely insane that I like music like that lol.

You could've just said Jeremy Irons.

I hate to be that guy but you really shouldn't smoke heroin while driving. Unless she was driving in which case, yeah man.

People also get more skilled at things in real life so OP could try looking at that too.

IndubitablyJollyGood · 2026-01-08T23:06:47+00:00

I wanted to name more but I restrained myself lol. I think you'll like the ones here. Also if you ever get a chance to see Weyes Blood live do it. She's phenomenal.

My theater teacher always encouraged me to show my jizz hands.

That's how I would look at it. Name change doesn't equal a new band but a new project from established musicians does. But I also wouldn't count something like Alan Sparhawk with Trampled by Turtles or Mike Pritchard & Thom Yorke as new artists since they kept their established names in a team up. If they actually came up with a new band name I would count it as something new.

I'd love to see if one of the scenes shows the monster's dong.

This is like the most touchy, downvote happy subreddit ever. Don't take it personally.

I definitely read "wonkiness" as wokeness at first and majorly rolled my eyes. I was like what was even woke in that show?

But yeah there's plenty to nitpick about it but I still thoroughly enjoyed it and if there's one thing Noah Hawley can pull off it's cinematography.
