Wow!  A good man to get praise from, Frank freakin' Zappa...I really like the 
style of the first several Queen albums, as you were talking about...as a 
matter of fact, I bought one cd a while ago, Queen In Nuce...it consists 
mainly of songs recorded when Brian May had a different band...totally lousy 
recording quality, but cool...
