Do you not consider Bohemian Rhapsody a Greatest Hit, then? This might just be why no one has mentioned it! would the same not apply to Innuendo? I'd say it would indeed.

It's funny to see how many guys here pretend they don't care for Bohemian Rhapsody.
Here's my top of the pops:
1. Stone Cold Crazy 2. The Millionaire Waltz 3. Bohemian Rhapsody 4. We Will Rock You (Fast) 5. Was It All Worth It 6. The Hero 7. Princes Of The Universe 8. My Melancholy Blues 9. My Fairy King 10. The March Of The Black Queen
Honourable mentions: Innuendo, The Prophet's Song, White Queen
My list would be different if we were allowing greatest hits into our 'No GH Top 10'! BoRhap still wouldn't be in my top 10 favourite Queen tracks, although I do love it and acknowledge its place as #1 greatest song of all time. To be honest, only 'The Show Must Go On' and 'I Want It All' would sneak into my top 10 Queen songs, but as they're 'greatest hits' tracks, they weren't included in my initial list.

I "give permission" for anyone to start a "GH 1, 2 & 3" Top 10 poll if they so desire. Given Queen's reputation as a singles band, I thought a "deep cuts" poll might be interesting (at least for me).

Princes of the Universe is on Greatest Hits 3, so it shouldn't be qualified as a non GH song.

Princes of the Universe is on Greatest Hits 3, so it shouldn't be qualified as a non GH song. Maybe I should not have considered Greatest Shite 3 as a GH album. LOL
Right or wrong, I believe "Princes" belongs in this list, because it did not chart in the Top 30 anywhere in the world.
In my humble opinion, any songs from GH 1 and GH 2, plus the below songs should not be included in this poll, as all of the below songs charted in the top 20 in Canada, the USA, Europe or Japan:
Body Language
Las Palabras de Amor Scandal
These Are the Days of Our Lives
Heaven For Everyone A Winter's Tale Too Much Love Will Kill You Let Me Live You Don't Fool Me No One But You
Based on the above, I have reduced from 99 to 95 the number of songs that have received at least one vote (over 65% of "non-GH" songs)

I ASSuMEd and made an ass out of me.
I will correct this within a few days even there are no further votes for this poll.
That makes two votes for the B-side opening song ... not quite enough to meet the arbitrary 4 vote minimum for this poll. There are currently 11 songs log jammed at three votes that are not shown in this poll.

Using those criteria, what about Spread Your Wings? It's the only one I looked up because I had a hunch, and saw that it hit #20 in the Netherlands. It also made the cut for Greatest Karaoke Hits, maybe for that reason.

Aymeric & deathtoming -
How strongly do you feel about "disqualifying" Princes of the Universe and/or Spread Your Wings from these poll results?
... I am also interested in the opinions of all poll paticipants for the above two songs or any other "borderline hits". Please reply if you have an opinion!!

How about only UK top 25 singles being excluded?
The UK is Queen's home country after all ...
In the UK, Slightly Mad reached 22 and Live Forever reached 24, so GH2 does have a few singles that fall outside the UK top 20.
That would add Thank God It's Christmas to the above list (which currently has zero votes), and not change the semi-arbitrary "rules" in the middle of this poll.
Any Opinions?

Making this a "no singles" poll would evict Keep Yourself Alive, Liar, Long Away, Teo Torriate, It's Late, Spread Your Wings, and Princes of the Universe from this poll which is probably not desirable.

I just thought I'd mention that maybe one more song fit the criteria in your post. I'm assuming most people read "GH" in your original post as the albums Greatest Hits 1 (UK), 2, and 3, so maybe it's simpler to keep it at that.

I think everyone's choices should exclude only those songs that were on the GH album that was released where they live. For example, I live in N. America (Canada) so I couldn't include We Will Rock You on my list but I could include Save Me, which I believe is on the UK/European GH but not the Canadian one.
Of course I don't think the above can apply to GH 2 or 3 as their track listings don't vary dep. on the country of issuance.
