I can only do a worst single – Body Language b/w Blurred Vision. Everything else – even Party and Staying Power, which I loathed for years – I can find some merit in.

No doubt they'll eat this idea up and have it packaged for Christmas.

This is quite difficult actually, as there are very few songs I genuinely dislike. I've had to include tracks that I kind of enjoy even if I find them a bit lacking. Side 1: Stealin' In Only Seven Days One Year Of Love Delilah The Invisible Man (12" Version) The Ring (Hypnotic Seduction of Dale) Side 2: Don't Stop Me Now Body Language My Life Has Been Saved (1989 b-side version) See What a Fool I've Been (b-side version) My Baby Does Me I'm Going Slightly Mad I'm saddened to see the dislike here for She Makes Me and A Dozen Red Roses  |

Wow some really interesting choices so far. There are some selections here that I really enjoy and at least one that I think could have been a single. I don’t think I can really do it, I enjoy most of their songs. Here’s all I can think of as contenders;
Chinese Torture - it’s true to its title
Blurred Vision
My Baby Does Me
A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling
Most of the Flash Gordon soundtrack (fine as a soundtrack just not as a stand alone album, it does nothing for me)
Fun It (But I don’t hate it)
Brian’s extended solos on the Magic tour (I know that doesn’t count but I always skip them)

I had deliberately skipped anything from FLASH. Just because. But seeing Fun It here reminds me how both it and More of that Jazz could probably fit just as well or instead. As it is A Dozen is far from their worst instrumental. Kudos to the one including Invisible Man 12", it's pretty irritatingly done haha |

If this is indeed QZ vol 2, then we are very lucky it will also last 20 years ... So I guess Brenski is required to stick around another 20 years ...

If you’re talking about Last Song Standing, then you’ve missed the point entirely. All the threads you use as examples are meant to be fun and should be taken in that spirit. Comparing a few lighthearted threads to the cesspool that Queenzone became is unfair and incorrect. |

When chamber pots are not secure, no? Receive fiduciary passport with promise of local host Xgbb45.xerothread.c Why struggle with notaryous company that not greaten?? Passport available here now. Cc > >> >>>> Ooh, hell I'm just fucking around. I can't remember those floods anymore and thank God. I actually see a positive from the last song standing. I only wish there were more voters. As difficult as it may be with these early classics, it's getting the discussions going and it's frightening myself as well. For QI my favorite was THE NIGHT COMES DOWN but when adjusted for merit it was mercilessly tossed (*by me!) In an early round. I don't know if others have had similar experiences. But I see more than the nay saying |

The last few threads on this forum are now worst Queen song on an album, Songs you are embarrassed to like, and now a hypothetical worst album. Queenzone v2? One of those threads was started ages ago, and the Last Song Standing threads results in the BEST song on an album at the end of each round. As Georg said, you've missed the point of that entirely. The difference between here and QZ is that we can have these types of fun threads, but not have them descend into battle zones. |

If this is indeed QZ vol 2, then we are very lucky it will also last 20 years ... So I guess Brenski is required to stick around another 20 years ... we've been around 4 years and that's nice, whether we exist for another 4 (let alone 16) will be down to forum members, while there's continued traffic and contributions this place will thrive. The last few threads on this forum are now worst Queen song on an album, Songs you are embarrassed to like, and now a hypothetical worst album. Queenzone v2? wow, your "God" got out of the wrong side of his bed today? let's get some perspective/context: ♦ Last Song Standing Queen I ♦ Last Song Standing Queen II ♦ Dream Setlist ♦ Rock Setlist ♦ Greatest Hypothetical LP ♦ Worst Hypothetical LP All of the above are geared toward folk's favourite tracks, save for the last one. The last one, though negative on the surface encourages discussion. I myself took a little flack for White Queen because these kind of threads stimulate discussion/opinion - which is never a bad thing. |

I'm struggling not to offer rebuttals to some of the choices I'm seeing you guys pick...
For me it's:
Side Meh:
Tear it Up
Man on the Prowl
Calling all Girls
White Man
Funny How Love Is
Soul Brother
Side Awful:
Khashoggi's Ship
Rain Must Fall
Don't Try Suicide
Coming Soon
If You Can't Beat Them
Fun It
More of that Jazz
Several clunkers from Roger. (I ignored Flash completely, to me that doesn't even count cuz it's in a different category than a regular studio album)

While I'm reading all these hypotetical albums my eyes are bleeding... Disappointed. Jealousy, In only seven days, life is real, white queen... I understand that everyone has is opinion but, these are beautiful underrated tracks...! well, as I've got a 75% hit-rate on the tunes you mention, I'll take a stab at this: IMO... ♦ In Only Seven days - bland, insipid, uninspired schmaltz ♦ Life Is Real - trite nonsense, as "tributes" go, it's definitely one of the worst of all time. And, in a category that includes REM's Let Me In, Phil Lynott's King's Call and U2's Stuck In A Moment, this really is saying something. ♦ White Queen - a hugely overrated dull dirge Note: I could've easily picked Hot Space in its entirety, but that'd be lacking effort on my part. |
