One of my faves! I'm not a fan of Drowse.

Out of some of the ones mentioned, I actually like Fight From the Inside and Drowse, but I guess they are just more to my tastes (FFTI is actually among my favorite of Roger's songs). My least favorite Queen song is Body Language. It feels to me sort of like a trashier version of Get Down Make Love, and I don't really care for that one either but I think GDML has *some* more merit at least. Again, no judgement/hate if you do like it, just my preference. Also, I don't think Delilah is very good either but I think it is at least kind of funny so I can at least get some small measure of enjoyment out of it, even if not that much.

Some Day, One Day gets mentions but not The Loser In The End!
More Of That Jazz, Gimme The Prize (I love the solo but everything else...), Party, The Hitman, Get Down Make Love, Delilah, Don't Try Suicide and (this is very controversial but I'm including it anyway) Princes Of The Universe. Although that might be down to preference, I still don't think it's a well structured song. Sweet Lady is great musically but crap lyrically but then that doesn't make it bad statistically (50%).

I wouldn’t say I *hate* these by any means, but these are definitely the only Queen tracks I skip over when they come on - Sweet Lady, White Man, More Of That Jazz, and Tie Your Mother Down.

I'll raise you Body Language, White man and Sweet Lady While I disagree with you on all three being the worst... ...WHITE MAN?!?!!? haha That's such an epic track!! Love how heavy it is. On a serious note, I'm not particularly fond of Fun It. I just think it's silly. But still, I find myself grooving to it from time to time.

Used to skip Sweet Lady, You Take My Breath Away and Don’t Try Suicide every time. Recently though I’ve been listening to the albums all the way through.

I was thinking about my list again and I’ve realized that at various times I’ve enjoyed all but 2 of these songs. These 2, I’ve never liked: Delilah My Baby Does Me Delilah My Baby Does Me Rain Must Fall Party/Khashoggi's Ship Pain Is So Close To Pleasure Keep Passing The Open Windows Leaving Home Ain't Easy Sweet Lady

In only seven days Body language Pain is so close to pleasure Friends will be friends
Party (although Party instrumental from The Eye is a different story, much better).
The invisible man - (the different edition - take with completed Freddie vocals, surfuced in 2019 is great).

I'm glad we can actually have a civilized discussion about this here, I hate to think if this was posted on QZ *shudder*... (lol, joking aside, yeah they've done a great job with this nice new forum!)

Body Language is tops (bottoms? ew) for me, followed closely by Party and Khashoggi's Ship (though I like the latter as a standalone song, it's still a lyrically awful track). Everything else I've either warmed up to over the years or have been beat into submission into not overly hating, though I'm still on the fence with Don't Lose Your Head: great vocals, great guitar work, can't stand everything else.

I think AKOM is possibly the most polarised album. It's got some of their best tracks and also some of their worst.

I think AKOM is possibly the most polarised album. It's got some of their best tracks and also some of their worst. It's a hodgepodge of an album – 6 parts soundtrack, 2 parts "new" tracks, and 1 "older" track. It seems like they couldn't decide what they wanted to do, and probably didn't want to do a studio album and a soundtrack album, so they decided to make a hybrid. It just seems like a collection of songs, not a coherent piece. In fact, I'd argue that Hot Space, despite its many flaws, was the last "considered" and experimental album they put out – once it tanked and fans (and the band!) hated it, they went back to "basics" with The Works, which sounds like an updated greatest hits for the 80s. For me, they coasted with The Works and Magic, and then found their footing again with The Miracle (despite some questionable inclusions) and reclaimed their glory with Innuendo – of course, by that point, it was too late.

Totally agree on all your points. I really like Hot Space and do consider it the last consistent album until The Miracle arrived and then Innuendo knocked it out the park.
