Jeroen wrote: Nothing wrong with The Call! Brian wrote songs that are far far FAR worse. Luckily he kept most of them for Another World. Queensongs that are worse? The full Flash Gordon album, Radio Ga Ga, I'm Going Slightly Mad, Tear it Up...

Deliah is a real Queen song - quirky, silly, fun. One of their best songs. Finally Freddie finding his 70's era again.

Deliah, was not a bad song first time heard, until the "Meows". The Call is what it is, political.

Not only is this awful but I would go as far as to say it's one of THE worst records of all time, Brian your my hero but what on earth possessed you to record this. Has anyone else had the misfortune of hearing this song?

I'm not surprised most of you don't get the joke.

You are SO right, Lee! Funny Old Life is absolutely one of the worst songs ever written!

I don't think it's about "getting" something, come on. The way you put it may seem that you have a greater understanding of some hidden wonder in Delilah. If it is the case, all that "mewowing" didn't let me hear it. Cheers, Ogre-

Well I was more angling towards "I'd rather not do either!!" but hey!

parchedpea wrote: Some bands can do 'politics' because they have credibility. Queen were (in fact, are) a band of questionable politics who spend most of their time chasing dollars. Apart from the fact that Brian May is embarrassing when he starts his shouting, and ignoring the dreadful word structure in the song (it has, what should always be known as 'a hint of Roger' about it) I just don't think a band that spent their entire career singing about nonsense can all of sudden start the 'U2' preaching thing and not look stupid. If Brian May wants to do it on his own, fine. But the whole point of Queen for me was that it was escapism - daft nonsense, silly lyrics, dodgy rhymes (the 'hint of Roger' I was talking about) and great great music. This 'change' in their purpose sits uneasily next to the cash generator that is Queen Productions / We Will Fleece You / QPR.

Freddie-B wrote: Yeah, The Call sounds pretty damn terrible - it's just a bit embarrassing. But for sheer terrible songs, you can do no wrong with... Jesus, Sweet Lady, Drowse, Get Down Make Love, More of that Jazz, Don't Try Suicide, Body Language, Back Chat, Most of Flash Gordon, Don't Lose Your Head, Gimme The Prize, Pain is so Close to Pleasure, Rain Must Fall, My Baby Does Me, Delilah, All God's People and My Life Has Been Saved. All of them have the advantage of being "proper" Queen songs, for which - on some level - all 4 of them must be held accountable.

I'm shocked at how many great songs you had in that list.
