cogadh: Unfortunately, there is no actual soundtrack album, "A Kind of Magic" is the closest thing to it. Like AzureKite mentioned, "Hammer to Fall" is on "The Works" and "New York, New York" was never actually released on any albums or singles.

Elmofongo: Wow everone here loves Rock n Roll, poor Michael Jackson.

DodoGeo: Well while MJ was king of pop, Queen weren't only rock. They were rock, metal, pop, disco plus they did all kinds of different stuff, you could say that anyone could find something of interest.

tinyE: While I fail to see how that is insulting anyone I meant no disrespect and I apologize for the post if it upset everyone so much. I will go so far as to remove that part of the post.

EDIT.
There, happy? You can put down your torches now, I come in peace. :D

CaptainGyro: I wasn't mad or offended, I just think it's insulting the other members by making them look like they didn't do much but fill in as the backup band for The Freddie Mercury Show. Obviously Freddie was the leader and main force, but the rest of the band contributed a lot more than like say Dave Groelhl and Chris Novoselik did for Nirvana

Piranjade: "New York, New York " is on the "Highlander (Complete Original Motion Picture Score)" CD which doesn't include some of the other Queen songs from the movie though. :p But even then "New York, New York" is not a complete song as far as I've heard.
I nearly bought the score when i was in Japan but I was a little low on money and not completely thrilled with the CD description, so I don't have it.

Randalator: The Show Must Go On recording process

"Mercury was so ill, and could barely walk, when the band recorded the song in 1990, that May had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. [...] Demo versions featured May singing, having to sing some parts in falsetto because they were too high. When Brian May presented the final demo to Mercury, he had doubts that Mercury would be physically capable of singing the song's highly demanding vocal line, due to the extent of his illness at the time. To May's surprise, when the time came to record the vocals, Mercury consumed a measure of vodka and said "I'll fuckin do it, darling!" then proceeded to perform the vocal line in one take without problems."

I think that says it all...

tinyE: Yawn, I can't believe this thread is still going strong. Can we at least change the topic for a little while to something like "Hagar or Roth"?

"Dio or Ozzy"?

"Lemmy or God"?

drennan: Tsk tsk, your third example is a bit of an insult again! How could anyone compare to Lemmy? :p

cogadh: I'm not ashamed to admit, I cried the first time I heard that song.
