Queen II
Roger Taylor ``When Queen II came out it didn't connect with everyone. A lot of people thought we'd forsaken rock music. They said: ``Why don't you play things like Liar and Keep Yourself Alive. All we could say was, give it another listen, it's there, but it's all layered, it's a new approach. Nowadays people say: ``Why don't you play like Queen II? A lot of our close fans think that, and I still like that album a lot. It's not perfect, it has the imperfections of youth and the excesses of youth, but I think that was our biggest single step ever.'' -- Brian May
