Compile your own "greatest" Queen LP
there's only a few rules:
♦ No UK/USA top 40 singles allowed
♦ Maximum "LP" runtime = 45minutes - this was the normal maximum for vinyl LPs
here's mine
SIDE ONE
♦ Liar [6'25"]
♦ Father To Son [6'13"]
♦ Drowse [3'45"]
♦ Funny How Love Is [2'51"]
♦ It's A Beautiful Day (reprise) [3'01"]
SIDE TWO
♦ It's Late [6'27"]
♦ March of the Black Queen [6'32"]
♦ Nevermore [1'18"]
♦ Rock It (Prime Jive) [4'33"]
♦ Fun It [3'28"]
Total playing time : 41'33"
I've deliberately left off one of my favourite tracks (My Fairy King) to give it each side a bit more balance
Pre-album single release: A Human Body b/w Was It All Worth It

I can't calculate times (😳) but here goes:
Side One:
Death On Two Legs (3:41)
Flick Of The Wrist (3:23)
Long Away (3:30)
Millionaire Waltz (4:54)
Need Your Loving Tonight (2:47)
Dragon Attack (4:18)
Side Two:
Spread Your Wings (BBC Version) (5:25)
White Man (4:58)
Nevermore (1:24)
It's Late (6:25)
Was It All Worth It (5:51)
I think that totals about 43 minutes.

SIDE ONE
♦ Death on Two Legs [3:43]
♦ White Queen [4:34]
♦ Doing Alright [4:10]
♦ Great King Rat [5:41]
♦ White Man [4:59]
SIDE TWO
♦ Let Me Entertain You [3:01]
♦ We Will Rock You (BBC/Fast Guitar Version) [length unknown]
♦ Tenement Funster [2:48]
♦ Flick of the Wrist [3:19]
♦ Teo Torriate [5:54]
Total playing time: + or - 41:40
Notes: WWRY was a USA/UK Top 40 single, but as I'm including the BBC version instead, hopefully it's acceptable (if not I'll replace it).
I've tried to sequence the songs as best I could in regards to 'flow'.

This was fucking impossible.
SIDE ONE (21:50):
Rock It (Prime Jive) (4:33)
Made in Heaven (5:25)
Long Away (3:34)
Spread Your Wings (4:34)
I Go Crazy (3:43)
SIDE TWO (23:04):
You and I (3:26)
Don't Try So Hard (3:39)
It's Late (6:28)
A Human Body (3:44)
Was It All Worth It (5:48)
Running time: 44:54 (just made it!)
I tried to give each band member equal credits (Freddie kinda sorta technically wrote Don't Try So Hard and Was It All Worth It), and this omits a lot of my favorites, but I tried to make an album that flowed pretty well with enough light and shade. I could tinker with this all day so I'll leave it as-is.

This was fucking impossible. Spread Your Wings (4:34) this was a top-40 charter in the UK - reaching no34  Note: for other posters, even though the !st EP peaked at no17, it wasn't a 7" single release |

Note: for other posters, even though the !st EP peaked at no17, it wasn't a 7" single release Ooh, that's a bit of a technical loophole! I'd have said GOFL would be considered a chart single, reaching the top 20 (#17 to be precise) in the UK. 🙂 Also, although I chose it myself, Flick Of The Wrist was a double A side with Killer Queen, so should that be allowed? |

Hard to do on mobile with waning recall of the bands music. But I'll try. No top 40 u say. Please correct me if any appear as a b side etc Procession Son And Daughter Father To Son You and I The Millionaire Waltz Nevermore Prophets Song Love of My Life Let Me Entertain You (*I'd have to remix it) Fight From the Inside My Life Has Been Saved Oh fuck I GO CRAZY was a bside of a #1.. Well...I tried. Didn't cheat either. No "live from ____versions in the archive"  Tough job |

Hang on, an album can have ONE single on it, surely? a number of classic rock bands usually released albums without singles: Zep, Floyd, Genesis, Yes, and the Beatles did it for a large chunk of their LPs too. but if you need to add a single: you've 11 (non-top 40) releases to choose from Hard to do on mobile with waning recall of the bands music. But I'll try. No top 40 u say. Please correct me if any appear as a b side etc Tough job the B-sides were not the hits - so you're okay selecting them |

SP = Single Play : one track per side whatever the dimension of the vinyl, 7-inch or 12-inch EP = Extended Play : a 7-inch vinyl record - 45rpm with more than 2 tracks LP = Long Play : a 12-inch album or 33rpm vinyl. |

That's why I omitted it at least. Rules indicated no TOP 40 singles. So maybe it went below |

If Queen put the EP in the singles boxset, then it's a single. If QPL say it, it must be right. Right?
Right?

So I added Action this Day (and added times to all songs to make sure it was under 45 minutes). |
