What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

QUEEN "the works" cd,1984

synth laden rock on this one....just listen to the abysmal single "radio ga ga" and you'll get a feel for the album overall IMO...
and on that song, shows just how bad Queen got with the chorus "all we hear is radio ga ga,radio goo goo, radio ga ga"...Christ, i could have written that trash!
nothing on here that could stand up with their classic songs of the 1970s/early 1980s, except for "i want to beak free"(love the tongue in cheek video for it though!)
i guess "hammer to fall" and "man on the prowl" could have been close to great Queen tracks, and there is the good ballad "is this the world we created", but for the rest, i can take or leave them, but then again, i never thought these guys made consistantly good albums, except "the game" from 1979/80 which i love.
love the live clips below...Freddie sure is a fine showman on the stage, aint nobody can strut it like he does...the consumate showman IMO!
