The Invisible Man: when I first heard TIM, I did feel that it was basically a reworking of 'Ghostbuster's but now, once I acknowledge the debt it owes, I actually like it. I like Freddie's vocals and I love the naming of the 4 members. Man on the Prowl: one of my least favourite songs on The Works, along with IAHL, but I like this song. Not a great song by any means, and it probably shouldn't have copied such an amazing song, but it is no way IMO one of Queen's worst songs. Misfire:I love this song. I know, I'm probably the only one, but I really adore it. John had this ability to bring out some of Freddie's best and smoothest vocals, and this was no exception. A song that is far too short, whenever I listen to SHA, I always make it a point to listen to this song. I think it's fantastic; and yes, while it's not John's best song as writer (that honour goes IMO to In Only Seven Days) I do think it's pretty well written. Was it all Worth it: not the best written song, but Freddie's vocals were superb, and sometimes, that's enough for me. The Miracle was IMO Queen's worst album, but Freddie's vocals were magnificent as usual, and this is IMO one of the album's best songs. I do think that it is one of the album's best written songs as well. The Hitman: not a great song, but not a terrible one either. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Innuendo, so with a few exceptions, none of the songs are among my favourites. However I don't think this is among Queen's worst songs. Friends will be Friends: alright I'll probably be shot for this, but I love FWBF. I really do. Yes, it's sentimental, but I think that Freddie's vocals are wonderful and I do think it's well written. Plus, Brian is superb.

Don't worry.  You aren't the only one who loves Misfire.  It's my favorite song that was written by John Deacon.

The melody is almost identical to that of 'Ghostbusters.' Don't listen to the lyrics; listen to the music instead, and you'll notice the similarities.

Now you are a good example of why under 14's should not be allowed on the internet. By the way, is Brian May your Dad or something ? 

coops wrote: Yeah, I cringe when some of the songs you mentioned are played.  I do like Misire though.  Delilah, well I like the guitar work.  Have to ask when these songs are included on an album, did Queen really think these are good songs or was it all they had? Should include Party and Kashoggis ship. Trite lyrics sung in a bad American drawl .  Arghh

I think my main problem with "worth it" is the lyrics. The songs ok, maybe a bit overblown but some of the lyric couplets, well.. I illustrated the worst offence but there are others. I do appreciate that some of the lyrics are lost on non-native english speakers. One reason why FWBF is quite popular in Spain for example.  

Bigfish wrote: I love em to bits but they did record some stinkers, let's face it. So in no particular order...... The Invisible Man   Really appalling, turgid and offensive re-working of Ray Parker Juniors ''Ghostbusters''complete with annoying electro bass. Man on the Prowl A Complete bollocks attempt to retread 'Crazy little thing' territory with Shakin Stevens style guitar solo. Should have given the whole song to him. Misfire The Clue is in the title. Thankfully JD's songwriting got better. My Baby Does Me Yes I should think she probably does but not while listening to this surely. (Original Vinyl of the Miracle criminally overlooked ¨Hang on in There¨ in favour of this - what were they thinking of) Delilah Sorry Fred but a song about your cat has no place on a Queen Album. Even a GOOD song about your cat has no place on a Queen album and this is not a good song infact the song would probably pee all over your chippendale suite too.  Was it all Worth it "We bought a drumkit, thought we were perfect"....on the strength of these lyrics 'they, sadly, weren't perfect at all - nor was it "Worth it".  The Hitman It wasn't "A Hit" man. Coming Soon This song is not offensive - it just bores me beyond continence and that, for Queen, is unforgivable.  Don't lose your Head Quite difficult not to lose your head when there is noise but no song. Friends will be Friends Shallow, Mawkish, sentimental lighter - waving at it's very worst from Queen's worst album.Actually in my experience Friends WON¨T be Friends unless your friend happens to be a Labrador.

Interesting choice - sorry I like all of these, particularly the funk stuff off space. Not fond off Sweet Lady though..

that's all I could say is wow.  how can "my fairy king"  and fairy feller's masterstroke be on any worst of list?....i think this poster should be banned from Queenzone. i'm serious.

I think alot of people who found Queen later, i.e. the BOn Jovi/ G n R crowd whio think that AKOM is incredible, don't ''get'' classic peroid Queen. Too subtle, not enough going on, boring etc. Still, different strokes I suppose.

    I "get" classic Queen, I like most songs on the first 8 records.. I will say I loathe Bon Jovi(with an exception or two) and AKOM has some good songs, but overall, its one my least favourites. Yes I like the harder rock of the first 8 Queen records.. to me, they didn't make another album like that until the Works came out. Hot Space also has some good songs, but IMO, they don't appear until side two-- again, its a personal preference.

Amazon wrote: Of the others, I agree about Fun It, Sweet Lady, Back Chat and Khashoggi's Ship making a ten worst of list. However Dancer is a guilty pleasure for me; not a great song but one that I love listening to and Put Out The Fire is IMO a terrific song. You Take My Breath Away is one that I enjoy but don't love. Freddie was superb on it however. Staying Power is my favourite song on Hot Space and one of Queen's best, so I can't agree with that at all.

For years and years I loathed Sweet Lady. Skipped it every time. Then one day I listened, and liked it, and haven't looked back. "Sweet like some I'm kind of cheese" is still on the awful lyric list though ...

Didn't mean to hurt your feelings, your complete devotion to the band is to be admired - they've obviously made alot of money out of you too!
