Does anybody know EVERYTHING about Queen like I do?

If you do, here's my question:
If they all died in a plane crash after A Night at the Opera, how much would we have really lost? It was their fourth album, and they recorded 11 studios after that, but what if all we had was Queen, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, and Opera?
I think the value of that four-album stretch far outweighs the rest of their music. Am I a heretic?

I think queen is overrated.

Only thing I'd miss is that breakdown in Innuendo. That was TNT.
ETA: oh and Princes of the Universe. There can be only one.

From an artistic standpoint, perhaps. However, from a commercial standpoint I would argue that the bulk of their success emerged post-Night At The Opera (e.g. "Another One Bites The Dust", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "Bicycle Race", "Fat Bottomed Girls", "We Will Rock You", "We Are The Champions", "Under Pressure", "Hammer To Fall", "The Show Must Go On", etc.).
Also, don't discount A Day At The Races, The Game, and Innuendo as magnificent albums in their own right.

Both.

Hijacking the thread a bit, but I always thought this song and, especially, the bass line are overrated. The guitar part to me is more interesting than the bass.

A lot of my favorite rockier stuff came after that first run. We would lose:
Tie Your Mother Down
Sheer Heart Attack
Let Me Entertain You
Dead On Time
It's Late
Play The Game
Don't Stop Me Now
etc.
If you set the plane crash scenario after The Game I might agree with you.

After Death on two legs, it was all downhill.

To an extent, I agree that the "first four", in addition to A Day at the Races, are what made them legendary. Most of their later offerings were woefully uneven IMHO, and their turn to more electronic music is what killed their popularity in the US. Still, you can't discount that with tracks like "One Vision" and "I Want it All" later in their career, they could still bring it. "Innuendo" and "The Show Must Go On" are right up there with "It's Late" and "Brighton Rock".

That might be the most incredible vocal EVER when you consider Freddie's condition at the time the song was recorded.
