They only released albums for 20 years though. That's what's relevant to the weeks-on-the-charts issue.

Andrew and Rich, I strongly suggest that at this point, the two of you simply ignore each other's posts in this thread if you want to continue participating in it. If you want to go back and forth with personal comments, please do it via email. Pretty please? I can't imagine that anyone else...

Very nicely put!

IMO, Angus Young is a very underrated player. He has fantastic feel.

Apropos to this discussion, here's a link to an interesting article about melody in Queen songs. About 3/4 of the way in, there's a statistical (!) comparison to The Beatles' repertoire. "The Queen Anomaly" Again, who's "better" is personal and subjective -- this was just an interesting...
