Yes we have seen several of these lists all around the internet, but now, right here, I would like queenzone (the best queenfans in the world) to decide. Now this is not our favorites but rather what we think is truly their best work and shows them off as the greatest band of all time. Here is my top 5: Bohemian Rhapsody Somebody to Love Innuendo Killer Queen The Show Must Go On |

Let me go throw up... |
| Saint Jiub 03.06.2010 22:24 |
greg - Please note the "..." Seven Seas of Rhye... is the outro from the debut album. If it makes you feel better, if short instrumentals are eliminated as well, the bottom 5 are: 152 DONT LOSE YOUR HEAD 154 MACHINES 156 BODY LANGUAGE 157 SWEET LADY 161 PARTY Hope this small perspective helps you stop worshiping the porcelin god. ;) |

How can Jealousy be in the top worst songs?? If I put that somewhere i would put it in a broader top list. And, no i was counting all the songs from Flash Gordon |
| The Real Wizard 03.06.2010 23:30 |
Panchgani wrote: "163 GOD SAVE THE QUEEN 169 PROCESSION" The latter two are absolutely brilliant arrangements by Brian, and should easily be in the top 50 Queen songs. But I guess they're being rated mostly by people who like Radio Ga Ga, so..... |
| pittrek 04.06.2010 00:41 |
And the worst ... 1. Delilah 2. Get Down Make Love (cut the middle part and you get a much better song) 3. Party 4. Khashoggi's ship 5. A Beautiful Day |
| Saint Jiub 04.06.2010 00:52 |
Jamster - Jealousy was rated 95 out of 188 songs ... exactly at average. =================================================== Sir GH - To my recollection, I don't think the sample of 30 queenzoners included a professional guitarist. LOL ======================= The 30 Queenzoners opinions in this poll varied extensively. Obviously, the sample of Queenzoners was not entirely random. Only the Queenzoners with idle time on their hands completed this poll. |

I love polls ;-) 1) Bohemian Rhapsody (obviously) 2) Don't Stop Me Now (perfectly fitting the time and circumstances of its origin, perfect merge of Hard Rock and Pop) 3) Spread Your Wings (THE Rock ballad prototype) 4) Somebody To Love (not my personal favourite, but those arrangements can't be overlooked) 5) The Fairy Fellers Master Stroke (great songwriting: an extremely complex, but still light and easyly consumable song) |
| Bo Rhap 04.06.2010 03:48 |
Bohemain Rhapsody Millionaire's Waltz Liar Innuendo Breakthru Worst songs Anything from Hot Space except Las Palabras De Amor and Under Pressure(You could argue that Under Pressure really shouldnt have been on that album.It always seemed to me that it was added as an afterthought) |

I love how a thread proposing fans offer their opinion of the best Queen recordings the band made results in the addition of people's least favourites. That so totally sums up many aspects of this forum, that we can't even praise the band with critisizing it in the same breath. Anyway, how do we even define what Queen songs best represent them? Do we look at their so-called 'trademarks,' like Freddie's voice or Brian's guitar? Do we consider their willingness to explore musical directions new to them, which for me is certainly a defining feature of the band, that they took risks? Is commercial success or fandom popularity the yardstick by which we gauge The Greatest? How can we truly be objective? MY approach was to think, "what collection would I give to a friend that I felt covered Queen's career in it's entirety?" Here's my list, filling a single CD. I don't expect everyone to agree with it, but I tried to cover their rockers, their funk and '80s pop numbers, films, their novelty/period experiments, anthems, duets and their epics. I also took at least one track from each studio album, Flash Gordon and The Cosmos Rocks included. Lastly, I wanted the list to reflect their talents, humour and camp. 01) Liar 02) The Seven Seas Of Rhye 03) White Queen (As It Began) (BBC Version) 04) Killer Queen 05) Bohemian Rhapsody 06) Somebody To Love 07) We Are The Champions 08) Spread Your Wings 09) Fat Bottomed Girls (Single Version) 10) Crazy Little Thing Called Love 11) Another One Bites The Dust 12) Flash 13) Under Pressure (With David Bowie) 14) Radio Ga Ga (US Single Version) 15) A Kind Of Magic 16) I Want It All (Single Version) 17) Innuendo 18) Let Me Live (Original Version) 19) C-Lebrity (With Paul Rodgers) |

Even those songs listed as "worst" are Queen classics, I think. There isn't one Queen song, imo, can be considered bad. I classify Queen songs one of two ways: Fantastic or Less-Fantastic. Saw Q in Houston late 1970s and have, for the most part, listened to nothing else since. That's either very cool or truly pathetic. I lean toward very cool. My Top-10 Favorites: BO RHAP ACTION THIS DAY DRAGON ATTACK SOMEBODY TO LOVE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS SAVE ME I WANT TO BREAK FREE THE MILLIONAIRE WALTZ INNUENDO DEATH ON 2 LEGS |
