No Sabbath? You’ve both lead singers on your list. I love Heaven and Hell

One of my brothers friends is a massive Dio fan, and went to see them loads. I thought he was like a super fan and recently found out they were actually friends. And he was invited to his funeral.
 
Try this one, a rediscovered Freddie Mercury track fron the 80's

Never heard that one before, I have to say Queen, with Freddie are my favourites by far, not keen since his passing, don’t particularly like their newer stuff. The four of them kinda became better the sun of their parts, or whatever the phrase is, without Freddie and John their songwriting isn’t great imo.

I have a wide eclectic taste of music depending on what mood I’m in
I am of the same mind from opera [ not all but livlier bits ] through to trance ... the latter usually [40 tracks ] playing whilst on my drive to NW .. OFTEN THE MUSIC fits the part of the journey.. many years ago in yorkshire dales 5 of us in car I had jean michel jarre on windy hilly roads for about 10 miles .. music ended as we hit the main road .... and as one the silence [ other than music] 5 voices blurted out ******* hell that was magic! each bit of the tempo synced with the bends/uphill/downhill/straight bit etc same road same track a couple times after and never got the same result!

That's so cool, did he go ? I'm also a huge Dio fan.

No Sabbath on this particular playlist but I've got virtually everything they ever made, and with a multitude of different singers and personnel. Also saw the last night of their farewell tour in Birmingham.

Yeah he went. I know he travelled a lot to see them but like I said I just thought he was a super fan of him. My brother said he was at his house the other day, and I said what stalker fan. And my brother said I thought you knew they were friends and he went to his funeral and was not even selected as a fan but to be there in front of church or Crem (wherever it was) with his family etc.

They never wrote any new stuff after Freddie did they. They toured (Brian and Roger because John did not want to continue) with Paul (can’t remember his name) and Adam Lambert.
Seen them twice with Adam Lambert. Obviously not the same, but I like his flamboyance behaviour like Freddie Mercury.

Wasn't it Paul Carrack for a while?

Really loved the first Queen album and bought it off the back of watching them play their single "Keep Yourself Alive" on the Old Grey Whistle Test in July '73. I'm pretty sure that my first proper gig was that November when I saw them support Mott the Hoople at the Colston Hall!

I still play that album today, plus all the other early ones like Queen 2, Sheer Heart Attack, Night at the Opera and a Day at the Races and Jazz. Brilliant albums
Queen became very much more commercial after that although I still bought the albums

On the first few albums I can remember there being a tag line at the bottom of the sleeve reverse saying "And no-one played synthesizer" . Have I dreamt that or is it actually true? 50 or so years have addled my brain!!

I remember when my uncle saw a band in a club in Bristol and said they are going to be very big. It was U2

Air is a good band for chilling - another French band.
