Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Ah well, that's the thing I 'spose. See, I really like 'that' guitar sound but tis true that it does tend to be marmitesque in its appeal. You have to admit, at their 'pompiest' no one sounds quite like 'em. Yes, Queen II is probably my fave of the early albums - it's quite pleasingly bonkers in its way.

I suppose even during their post-live aid "The Works" pop-band peak they were still occasionally capable of grand gestures of epic rockery. I mean, "Princess of The Universe," off "A Kind of Magic" is pretty heavy and fairly mental too. And "Innuendo" the song is something of a last-minute grand folly.
