Talk:Queen discography

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)

No need to list the chart position and every track on this page. The page is too long and cumbersome that way. Just an album list would be better, with the other info on the pages for each album.71.205.222.97 (talk) 22:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

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 (UTC)

It isn't listed on the bootlegs page...gonna have to research. Detriment (talk) 01:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

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)

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)

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? Aula^TPN 21:31, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

• I agree, that section needs to be fixed. I've removed the tracklistings now. - Aphasia83 (talk) 13:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

B-side comp

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

Studio Albums

I updated the studio albums section and changed the format so it won't be so cluttered. It keeps getting reverted and I've gotten messages to stop vandalizing. I strongly believe the current section is inferior to the one I made. --FreddyFreak (talk) 00:12, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Hopefully this apparent edit war can end then. To help the process along, what reasons can you give for believing your changes are more valid than the one made by the other editor? This provides a groundwork for discussion on the finer points, which should hopefully lead to consensus! -Rushyo (talk) 00:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

My edit makes the section less confusing and it removes unnecessary information. Like a user above me sated, we don't need the tracklisting on the discography page. Thats what the Album pages are for. My edit also makes it look more updated and professional. My edit includes the names, dates, artwork, and chart positions in a chart wheareas the the current one just has it in confusing sentences sans the album artwork. Plus, do you really think its fair that Britney Spears has a better discography page than Queen? --FreddyFreak (talk) 03:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

• Like Maplejet wrote above on this page, the studio albums section really doesn't need the tracklistings. I've removed the tracklistings now. - Aphasia83 (talk) 14:01, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions

I strongly believe there should be few tables for all of their albums. This is pretty confusing and barely readable, especially compilations and other non-studio albums. I hope something could be done. --SonjiCeli (talk) 12:49, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree with the sentiments in many above posts. This page is much too long. A simple table of albums would be preferable to individual listings. A discography page should instantly give you an idea of an artist's overall catalogue and help you locate specific albums and their release dates. Other details should be in the articles covering the albums. Elcalen (talk) 11:03, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, this page reall needs sorting. I'd do it myself, but i don't have enough, if any, knowledge of HTML. =p Slayer 909 (talk) 22:29, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Someone really needs to fix the album listing...it's really unreadable. It needs to be formatted into a table. Maplejet (talk) 18:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

The Cosmos doesn't Rock?

Does anyone else agree that 'The Cosmos Rock's' should not be included under the Queen discography, as it is in fact not by Queen, but by Queen + Paul Rodgers, who are a completely different band. Just want opinions before i change it. Slayer 909 (talk) 22:29, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Actually (and I can't believe I'm saying this) but I think I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one. The band have continually positioned their partnership with Paul as effectively being Queen + a guest singer, had they marketed themselves under a completely different name then I'd agree.
