I love most of the bands material apart from "Mother Love" which was very depressing and i wish Brian and Roger had gave Freddie something more happier to sing before he passed away! So what is your most hated Queen ditty? |
| Ivo-1976 24.12.2014 09:11 |
Get Down, Make love. Awful. And the others guys agreed on recording that and even played it live. |
| brENsKi 24.12.2014 09:21 |
I find the choice of Mother Love baffling...especially when you consider the plethora of options available from Hot Space right thru' to The Miracle - there's almost 3 albums' worth of filler and detritus to choose from there. and the reasoning is also a little contradictory - who expects a dying man to sing upbeat/happy songs? ...but even forgetting that, Freddie wrote/sang some of Queen's most maudlin/depressing/sad songs - some much more forlorn than Mother Love ie You Take my Breath Away Love of My Life nevermore Lily of the Valley My Melancholy Blues Mother Love is is good company...all good songs for me - i'd thrown in some HS/Works shite - Tear It Up will do |

| mooghead 24.12.2014 10:09 |
Assuming Body Language is a given I would say In Only Seven Days, Mustapha, You Take My Breath Away, Delilah.... it goes on |
| gerry 24.12.2014 10:21 |
Brenski: i am very surprised you think "Love of my life" "Lily of the valley" "My melancholy blues" "nevermore" as hated songs, they are for me Freddie at his sweetest. Again yes Freddie was dying and so the other guys could have cheered him up or at least raised his spirits a little with a better song than "Mother Love" it is absolute trash even though Freds vocals were amazing it has to be said. |

If he was so great why would he rely on BM and RT (the desperate ones that Fred gave fame to....) to come up with songs for him? Once again your grandma is top-notch - as well as your mind-set (yawn) |
| ludwigs 24.12.2014 10:24 |
And again!!!! Brenski never said they were hated. He said they were sad songs. Try to read what was actually written and maybe expand your vocabulary. look up forlorn, maudlin etc.... |

mooghead wrote: Assuming Body Language is a given I would say In Only Seven Days, Mustapha, You Take My Breath Away, Delilah.... it goes onI guess it goes to show how divergent opinions on this question are, but I like all of those songs except for Delilah!! In fact, it would be my guess that if we had a poll, Delilah would be in the top (bottom?) spot, or close to it.......... Trying to think of other songs I dont like.......its funny how many Queen songs there are that I did not like at first, but have grown to like over the years........I'd say Delilah, One Year Of Love, and She Makes Me are the ones I always skip, though.......... |
| The King Of Rhye 24.12.2014 10:50 |
and, gerry, what is so bad about Mother Love, aside from how sad of a song it is?? Sad doesnt necessarily equal bad...........one of my favorite Queen songs is '39, and thats not exactly uplifting! |

Ludwigs: Freddie wrote many Queen songs that kick started the band to fame and fortune, your Queen knowledge is lacking mate. Look at "Seven seas of Rhye" "Killer Queen" "Bohemian Rhapsody" " Somebody to love" need i go on, Freddie was hardly a man who needed songs written by May & Taylor. i never googled anything, fact Freddie will always be the main reason many fans around the world latched on to Queen. |

yes but my valid point here is that Freddies songs got the group to be a household name. Sure the other 3 guys in the band had hits much later on in there career, but it was Freddie who put the Queen foundation stamp on the bands career and got the public very interested in them. |

Your list of great songs wouldn't sound as good as they do without BM, RT and JD's input, both playing and arranging. If you're in doubt of anyones lack of brilliance or musical genius please explain where the world changing anthems are on Mr Bad Guy. IMO, on his own Freddie was little better than average, he needed the other threes ability, understanding and input to turn the bare bones of most of what he wrote into something special. |
| gerry 24.12.2014 12:14 |
sure but none of the guys in Queen were better without the Queen machine behind them were they? Brian & Rogers solo stuff never took off as much a crafted studio Queen album. They all needed to come together as unit to belt out something amazing, but what i am saying here is Freddie was such a strong character a lot of people identified the group Queen because of him. |
| Chief Mouse 24.12.2014 12:17 |
gerry wrote: Brian & Rogers solo stuff never took off as much a crafted studio Queen album. Exactly. Same applies to Freddie. Sebastian's reply was really spot on. I suggest you re-read it. Sebastian wrote: "Putting band members against each other is absolutely petty and unfair. Having said that, it's a lot of fun n_n It's obvious that from a chemical perspective, and from a legal perspective, they were each 25%. It's also obvious that from a mathematical perspective, different areas would have different so-called leaders or at least dominant forces. John was more in charge of finances just like Roger was up front for tour coordination and choosing the album cover; Brian was the one who'd communicate with the outside world the most, especially with the fans - he was the first one ever to address the fan club via a letter, and would be the one who'd go out of his way to make the audience interact on a more personal level than just saying 'de oh.' Freddie was indeed the dominant force in a number of areas, namely songwriting, producing, arranging, singing (he was both their main lead vocalist and, in the studio, their main backing vocalist) and he was, and still is, the focal point for the majority of viewers/listeners." |
| gerry 24.12.2014 12:17 |
Mercurymans12: Sure "Another one bites the dust" is a popular song but you really think Queen would have been together in 1980 if Freddie had not got the band popular with his earlier songs that he wrote? Freddie wrote most of there 70s hits. |

I personally never cared about Get Down Make Love, not even the live version. And also Sheer Heart Attack. |
| gerry 24.12.2014 12:43 |
yeah "Get down make love" was not the most greatest song on " News of the world" i always liked "Its Late" |
| cmsdrums 24.12.2014 14:23 |
Brian revealed in the Days of Our Lives dvd that, whilst Freddie wrote the intro piano riff to Seven Seas of Rhye and the lyrics, Brian wrote large chunks of the rest of it. Just thought I'd throw that in there as it complicates some arguments when trying to argue for a song based purely on who wrote it (or who you THINK wrote it). |
| Vocal harmony 24.12.2014 14:28 |

I think She Makes Me is the most boring Queen song.By the way I also believe that Sheer Heart Attack was overrated and Queen and Queen II are much better albums. |

Don't Lose Your Head is my least favourite Queen song. Period. I have no clue how it made the album. Dancer, Tear It Up, and Delilah are pretty bad too, but I can deal with them. I can't stand Don't Lose Your Head. |

"Staying Language" is the worst song. Winter's tale is fantastic. It's almost a little poem but the spirit they put on that recording make up for it. |

"Khashoggi's Ship" or "Party" I don't undertsand why these got included over something like "Hijack My Heart" one of my top 5 songs with Roger on lead, The Miracle is easily Queen's weakest album but even those tracks are enjoyable for me (at times) |

A couple of times, Real Wizard's referred to the fact that in Smile's music, we can already hear the Queen sound in a very matured form. The Ibex and Wreckage stuff we have is great as historical documentation, but pretty subpar as music. So, it can be inferred that Freddie's best songwriting was in no small part a product of his time with the band, and their style of music influencing him. Just a different perspective. |

besides She Makes Me,I have to add; Cool Cat Dancer Body Language Man On The Prowl My Melancholy Blues Get Down Make Love plus all Roger Taylor songs in the seventies except I'm In Love With May Car and Tenement Funster which are only average at best. I don't think Roger was able to write/compose a good song before Rock It. I believe he finally learned something from the other band members after/around 1980. |

vocal harmony: Innuendo has a couple of songs i like which includes "Headlong" "All gods people" but the rest of the tunes are limp or have no feel good feelings for me. "Hot Space" seems more listenable for me with such gems "Put out the fire" "Back chat" "Cool Cat" & Under Pressure. Hot Space is not the worst album Queen have made, actually i am quite fond of it. Pity "Soul Brother" never made the cut for that album. |

| gerry 27.12.2014 04:53 |
Well "Innuendo" can not be compared to anything from "Hot Space" because musical styles were heading in opposite directions, personally i am not keen on innuendo, just the tune of the song although it was well performed by Freddie and the guys. Hot Space for me is a lighter easier album t listen too were as Innuendo gets boring half way through. |

Brenski: Queen have been getting misquoted for 41 fucking years so lighten up, who are you lord sugar! |
| *goodco* 27.12.2014 12:04 |
Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case. |
| gerry 27.12.2014 12:14 |
Goodco: you have heard Brenskis version of events now read mine. He continuously belittles every single post i put on here and starts arguments. I get on with most guys on this site but Brenski is the trouble maker. I have told him if he does not like what he reads then he does NOT have to reply, just like what you told him. He constantly offends me with his arrogant foul language and put downs, so yes i fire back at him, he aint getting the better of me, nobody does. I am the nicest guy you could meet, and i get on with most guys, but i do Not tolerate knob heads. |

I feel you SHOULD go back, at least a few weeks, and re-read your input vs the replies!? I don't post much but have lately..........from what I have gleaned from the postings here: You are quite opinionated. (No biggie IF you can back it up) You take offence quite easily if there is a contrasting/valid view You tell lies You don't back up your claims You feel you have some affinity with Queen You are fickle You retaliate in the same way that you berate others for You ARE a hypocrite You are NOT the only person that loves Queen You are lacking in articulation You have no grammar skills You are immature You ARE the best Queen fan in your city You are TOUGH You are more tuned into Queen than ALL us fucks You are a journalist oh yes....you smell of wee..... ( ha ha...joke) oops I forgot (yawn) You KNOW Bri and Rog ARE screwing Fred's legacy just cause YOU can't move on and accept that the FOUNDERS of Queen are doing what THEY feel is best!!!! |

Ludwigs: That was a very insulting post, you have the nerve to call me this and that and you have just done the same to me. i pity you if you do not have any confidence in who you are but i do, i am: A very confident Queen fan of 41 years I have my own opinions. i do actually know Wayne Sleep. i am the longest and passionate Queen fan in my area. i treat others the way they treat me. Plus Brian & Roger know Queen is in a mess without Freddie and that is why Brian tells lies about Adam being as good as Freddie on vocals we all know he is talking utter rubbish to put bums on seats, and you spout rubbish. You accept any lies that Brian throws at the media. Check up on these pages how things were running smoothly until Brenski came on line, then he yet AGAIN, caused persistent trouble go and have a go at him, and as ive just pointed out i only treat folk on here how they treat me. If your going to be rude and nasty, then i will, so get over yourself dude. |

No not at all, your not listening mate its all down to personal opinion. Everything you read on here is personal thought, so why get heated about it all ? Lots of people have personal thoughts but they do not get shot down like i do, bit unfair. Ive said it before and i will say it one last time, "If you do not like what you read, then jog on" i am not into scoring points like Brenski, i am a sensible bloke and i am fed up of all the bickering on this site. |

A very confident Queen fan of 41 years I have my own opinions. i do actually know Wayne Sleep. i am the longest and passionate Queen fan in my areaSome huge accolades there! Impressive (sic) Really Gerry, grow up. That's the type of remarks that I'd expect off a 12 year old. I know Jeremy Irons and Nick Mason (well, I spent the day with them at work - which is probably closer in reality than you and Wayno) I also know where Jezza Irons lives too....ooh ain't I impressive? Longest and most passionate fan in your area. Laughable but well done you!! You accept any lies that Brian throws at the media.And similarly YOU accept everything that the press have said about Fred and Queen - You are one big fanzine spouting recording. You have absolutely NO idea what any of Queen were like at all. Only those who spent time with them know. You can only believe what you get fed through media - whether that's by interviews, TV, the press etc, etc. Also, I don't give a shit what Brian or Roger talk about. I'm NOT interested in it. I'll watch when it's on the tele but it doesn't bother me in the slightest what they choose to do. It's their choice and you just have to accept it and like it or dislike it. Doesn't matter at all in the scheme of life. Try and grow up and see this perspective? IT DOESN'T MATTER. How will it affect your life?

If your going to be rude and nasty, then i will, so get over yourself dude. I usually skim over posts.....but, I do see that you are a tad hypocritical. You have become abusive and insulting often cause people decide to use their pen's - almost like a 'journalistic-jousting'. (seeing as you are a journalist - is that what you stated?) I'll have a go at Brenski or anyone if they were abusive to me but....they haven't. Yes, there have been differences of opinions and that is exactly what a discussion board/ forum etc is all about. People offer 'their' views and others either agree or disagree. Sometime people back up their opinions using facts too. It's what grown up rational people and societies do. We then decide to change our stance or agree to disagree. See, no need for animosity from either side. If you are going to be rude and nasty then that's ok but please.....up your game and try harder than deciding to call names like...'prick', useless c*nt, wanker et al? Then posts later trying to act grounded and sensible and fobbing things off in a carefree, "jog on darling"....etc. Oh yes, one more thing (been watching Columbo this morning) didn't realise you were American. Makes me laugh when Brits who have probably been to Florida for 2 weeks, decide to use 'dude' as part of their vocabulary! I lived there for 5 years after leaving school and I don't think I've ever called anyone that. It's also usually college/uni people that try to seem 'cool' that incorporate that into their everyday speech.... |

Ludwigs & Vocal harmony: You certainly would not call Brenski rational when he was the first on this discussion page to offend me, with such names as fuck wit, moron, etc......... Back that up if you will?? That was offensive and no matter how you defend him it WAS out of order. I am so sorry that you do not believe that i spent time with Wayne Sleep but that is absolutely true. We discovered we went to the same comprehensive school and i learnt a lot about his party times with Freddie and Princess Diana! Still jealousy is an ugly word is it not darling lol |

| TomP63 28.12.2014 10:09 |
Oké Gerry since you ask, most hated tracks, well these are the tracks that I dislike, not hate, as hate is such a strong word: PICTP, FwBF Cool Cat, My baby does me, Rain must Fall. I must admit though that fror the latter the guitar parts are stunning, but that's all and a bit too little to save the song. Tom |
| Holly2003 28.12.2014 10:19 |
Chinese Torture is well-named: it's bloody awful! Get Down Make Love gets boring very quickly, but it's a masterpiece compared to the likes of Tear It Up, Delilah & Don't Lose Your Head. |

| gerry 28.12.2014 11:20 |
yeah thanks guys for your input lol Its sort of interesting how some Queen songs hold our attention and some barely get 60 seconds lol Get down make love, had an interesting tune to it but it does go on a bit with the same chorus and never seems to go anywhere! "Rain must fall" now this for me is a great summer pop song which never made it as a single. "Scandel" should never have got released as a single but "Rain must fall" should have been the next single after that boring "invisible man"! |
| Chief Mouse 28.12.2014 11:53 |
Only things I really like about Rain Must Fall are Freddie's vocals and Brian's guitar. That's why I often listen to it. Apart from that I don't find it particularly great track. |
| gerry 28.12.2014 12:57 |
yes the vocal and guitar solo in the middle is a bit like "Don't stop me now" except "Don't stop me now is a million times better than "Rain must fall" Any relation to "Hammer to fall" ? lol with the" fall" bit |

"Scandel" should never have got released as a single but "Rain must fall" should have been the next single after that boring "invisible man"!Rain Must Fall over Scandal AND The Invisible Man??? No, no, no! lol........RMF is like my least favorite song on The Miracle.....has a nice guitar solo, but that's about it, for me. Scandal's a solid Brian May rock song, and if you wanna talk guitar solos, listen to the one on Invisible Man! I could think of quite a lot of Queen songs that deserved to be singles more than RMF.....Doing All Right, You & I, Need Your Loving Tonight.......(wait that last one was a US single, wasnt it...) |
| gerry 28.12.2014 13:44 |
i was referring to single choices on "The Miracle" album lol i know "invisible man" has a stunning guitar solo from Brian but the rest of the song is limp! For me "Scandal" drones on and on .......... "Rain must fall" has some good backing vocals and fun guitar playing! |

You got some weird taste if you pick Rain Must Fall over the other tracks on The Miracle. But that's okay I guess, everyone has a different taste. What are your thoughts about Was It All Worth It? |
| cmsdrums 28.12.2014 14:54 |
I'm not a massive fan of The Invisible Man, but I can understand why it was released as a single - catchy pop single, fun theme, fairly different for Queen, and quite suited to the lighter side of the pop charts at that time. |
| Saint Jiub 28.12.2014 19:02 |
RMF, tIM, and Breakthru are among my top 20 favorite Queen songs. Why? Maybe it is the bass? I also love the percussion in RMF. Do I need a reason? I also agree with Gerry that Scandal drones on and on ... with a two syllable vocal melody and a four note guitar melody. Only the 12" single gives the song some life. |
| inu-liger 28.12.2014 22:57 |
The most hated track? Gerry's Track Record |
| Saint Jiub 28.12.2014 23:28 |
Too many QZ'ers have a love/hate relationship with Gerry. They hate his posts, but love to bait him into making more posts they dislike. |
| tomchristie22 29.12.2014 00:43 |
It's an abusive relationship haha. Could somebody who dislikes Scandal explain to me why? I've always liked it a lot - Freddie delivers it with more conviction than in most of Queen's music of the time, and the guitar parts are really tight. Invisible Man is no work of art, but it's good fun, and a worthwhile listen just for that solo, completely out of character for Brian. |
| cmsdrums 29.12.2014 02:25 |
I'm struggling to understand the absolutely massive campaign for Scandal. Yes, it's a 'good' song with a worthwhile and meaningful lyric, but an odd single choice; it does 'plod' somewhat, and always seems quite 'sterile' feelwise to me. As a UK single release, Was It a all Worth It or even Rain Must Fall may have been better choices. Scandal does have a great vocal and some superb guitar work, but then again, what a Queen track doesnt?!? Scandal does also share some quite significant similarities with Anita Dobson's 'Talking of Love', which may taint my thoughts!! |

Perhaps their desire for the sentiment to be heard by the media was an influence in their making it a single. |

Wayne Sleep is one of the greatest Ballet Dancers this country has produced, He was once involved with the "Royal Ballet" and was a good friend of Freddie and Princess Diana. Last time i spoke to wayne it was in Newcastle as he was at the Newcastle opera house with a production. He is a nice guy but a very short guy, wearing a long black overcoat! Loves his vodka & Tonics! lol |

| gerry 29.12.2014 11:26 |
I take each track on its own merits. "Was it all worth it" is a better song than say a few tracks on "Hot Space" but i think most Queen albums have the odd couple of songs that we may skip from time to time. "The Miracle had some good songs on it and some not so interesting songs. |

If we ignore all the petty in-fighting, the most hated Queen songs are the ones on Hot Space. Objectively speaking. My own person least favorites? One Year of Love Friends Will Be Friends Tenement Funster I'm In Love With My Car Leavin' Home Ain't Easy |
| The King Of Rhye 04.01.2015 16:58 |

| 7thStranger 09.01.2015 05:28 |
That's what bothers me most about Roger's comments. Fun It was the first dance track they ever did, and then he had the audacity to complain about Another One Bites the Dust and Hot Space. He also complained about how arrogant rappers are. It strikes me that he believes in this white-rock-band hierarchy. He's really disrespectful. |
