[edit] Deletion

Is this article even neccessary? Queen's discography is included in their main article. TheImpossibleMan 21:57, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's necessary and standard practice. Queen have an extensive catalogue and the full discography is way too large for inclusion within the band's main article. I support the retention and improvement of ths article, and the severe trimming of the Discography section in Queen (band). --kingboyk 10:13, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Demos/Unreleased materials

Last night I found out there are tons of demos recorded circa Innuendo era, and some before that. We need to add those to the list. --Badshans (talk) 21:56, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Featured list

I think if we work hard enough on this page, we could probably make it into a featured list. I'll start fixing redlinks, but someone needs to get missing pictures, because I suck at finding images (and not having them deleted). - Zone46 02:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Missing pictures: see queenpicturehall. - Candyfloss 15:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greatest Flix

The list makes no reference to the Greatest Flix. Queen, ground-breaking as usual, released video versions of the Greatest Hits CDs on VCDs long before the DVD format was a reality. Jon Harald Søby 23:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Queen In Nuce is missing...

"In Nuce" seems to be missing from the list. Isn't it an official release? 71.236.196.246 21:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Most definitely not, its a bootleg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.149.24.239 (talk • contribs) 12:10, 29 January 2007
It isn't listed on the bootlegs page...gonna have to research. Detriment (talk) 01:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair-use on discographies test case

Please see Talk:The_Beatles_discography#Poll_on_the_use_of_fair-use_images_on_this_page_and_the_interpretation_of_policy which is acting as a test case in this matter. Jooler 09:42, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Without critical commentary, fair use cannot be declared; the article as it stood was in no way meeting with fair use requirements. Ral315 » 03:03, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2004 Complaition album?

My friend let me borrow a copy of his Quuen album, and it was made in 2004, yet, I can't seem to find it in the list. The tracks are Bohemian Rhapsody, Another Bites the Dust, Killer Queen, Fat Bottomed Girls, Bicycle Race, You're my Best Friend, Don't Stop Me Now, Save Me, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Somebody To Love, Seven Seas of Rhye, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Under Pressure (Live), and Tie Your Mother Down (Live). That's the order. If anyone has any information on this, please, let me know. Metroid0630 18:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greatest Hits

The section on Greatest Hits lists its status as 11x Platinum however it gives its sales figures as 5.5 million + which would actually make it 18x Platinum as the BPI awards platinum status on sales of multiples of 300,000 copies. Is there a reason why this hasn't been changed or should I just go ahead and update it? AulaTPN 21:31, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Song links

At least one song's link leads to a sub-section in the album's article, but there are entire articles about the individual song, and the link takes the reader to a little snippet about the song in the album's article. In fact, one of the songs linked to one of these sub-sections, and then under the song name it had a main article link. Can't we just link the songs with their own articles to those articles? Why the indirect links? I think we can be more helpful to the readers. Fdssdf (talk) 07:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Numeration of songs (IMPORTANT)

I believe that something's wrong with the numeration of the tracks on the studio albums. For example "Keep Yourself Alive" is the first track on the "Queen" album but here on Wikipedia it has no number (only "#") and "Doing All Right" is numbered as the first song (in real world it's second). I've tried to edit that, but nothing happens to work. Pacio (talk) 18:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

UPDATE: User Wantnot has edited this article and now everything looks nice. Thank you Wantnot. Pacio (talk) 10:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Change the format of the album section...

Seriously, we really don't need to see the track listing itself on the first page...it makes the article too long, and it's tough to compare record sales/certifications of each album in the current state.Maplejet (talk) 02:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] B-side comp

Is there no compilations of B-sides etc? AJUK Talk!! 13:19, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
