Is a question for the ages.

I had no idea SHA predated DatR.

I'm bad at this album ordering thing, I always assumed Love by The Cult came out after Electric, and then I found it was the other way round.

I've only heard A Night at the Opera and The Works.

I didn't like either of them but A Night at the Opera was the better of the two.

You should try Hotspace.

I've voted for Hot Space. Nobody rates it, which is probably why I like it. I like the fact Queen moved away from the more standard rockier stuff and dabbled with disco and funk. There's also a song where Freddie sings falsetto all the way through, much like Jimmy Somerville would just a couple of years later.

I also like Innuendo and even Made in Heaven.

I've yet to hear A Kind of Magic and The Miracle; The Works is okay. I've heard bits and pieces of their early albums but prefer just having the Greatest Hits which covers those.

Like with Elton John, I pick up with Queen where my dad leaves off, so basically late 70s/early 80s. He actually recently gave me all of their 80s albums + Innuendo on CD which he never listened to.
