Ok, they don't have any bad songs, but which songs you think are not as good as the rest of them? |
| iGSM 12.12.2003 08:41 |
Anyone of them that doesn't have John Deacon singing in them. :) I'd say...Ogre Battle.. I like but not a lot..unless the song was about Roger bashing a Mormon with a tray of cookies. |

| Fenderek 12.12.2003 08:56 |
Most of "The WORKS" "HOT SPACE" and AKOM Most doesn't mean everything And Coming Soon is pretty bad |

| Sebastian 12.12.2003 09:32 |
some songs that I dislike are: Son And Daughter Loser In The End Stone Cold Crazy (I like heavy songs but not this one, doesn't have anything) Now I'm Here (album version I quite like, live version is crap) Sweet Lady White Man Get Down Make Love Dead On Time Dragon Attack Another One Bites The Dust The Hero Calling All Girls Staying Power Body Language Cool Cat Hammer To Fall (live is wonderful, specially brian's, but in the studio is crap) Tear It Up Is This The World We Created (I prefer Brian singing it) Gimme The Prize Kashoggi's Ship My Baby Does Me Rain Must Fall Delilah See What A Fool I've Been Stealin' Lost Opportunity and 90% of unreleased material I've heard (Feelings, Silver Salmon, etc) |
| ogre t raylot 12.12.2003 09:37 |

I practically hate Fat Bottomed Girls. |
| Sebastian 12.12.2003 10:22 |
I'm not a queen fan, I just like the band and many of their songs yeah, and I have a website about them, but that's it |
| Josuè 12.12.2003 10:25 |
Even the worst Queen song would make me like it... I don't know why, but those crap songs like me even more as I listen to them on and on... |
| Guy 12.12.2003 10:37 |
So you don't call yourself a Queen fan, Sebastian? :) |
| Sebastian 12.12.2003 10:45 |
no I'm not a queen fan, it's not my favourite band. that doesn't mean I hate them, of course I like the band a lot, enough for visiting this forum so regularly now, perhaps you wonder why I didn't make a website about beatles, kiss, led zeppelin or other band that I like more than queen. well, the answer is that in beatles and led there are already websites and books that discuss that, in kiss all the "who played what" and "who wrote what" things are credited in the album sleeves, so it isn't neccesary to research that by other side, queen is mcuh more fun than most bands as far as investigation is involved, they were so damn unpredictable. sometimes harmonies are all fred (love of my life), or all brian (leaving home), all roger (tenement funster), or brian and roger (long away, I might be wrong), or freddie and roger (modern times), or freddie and brian (all dead), or the three of them, being fred in the highest, roger in the middle and brian in the low (doin' all right), or roger-freddie-brian (night comes down), or everybody singing all the parts, etc, etc, etc same with instruments, all of them played keyboards, all of them played guitar, sometimes the bass is done by the creator of the song in the synth, and on a real bass by roger in a couple of cases, sometimes drums are programmed in machines by the songwriter... anyway, it's so much more fun than for instance led zeppelin, where the 100% of guitars were by jimmy, 100% basses and 80% keyboards by jonesy, all drums by bonzo, 99% lead vocals by robert... |
| Sonja 12.12.2003 10:58 |
They do have bad songs just as any other great band. Bycicle Race is one of the songs I can't listen to. I just can't stand it cos I find it stupid, music as well as lyrics. And most of the Hot Space album. |
| Dicky Heart 12.12.2003 11:09 |
Now I'm Here is boring..... other songs i skip most of the thimes when i'm listening are Fight From The Inside, Get Down Make Love (Studio&BBC Session), Fun It and Don't Try Suicide I must tell, i really love the most of the unreleased material!! |
| Matti 12.12.2003 11:30 |

I don't like to listen to some songs on Queen, some on Queen II, some on Hot Space, some on Jazz, some on News... But I like many songs some of you hate: Scandal, One Year Of Love, Hard Life, Party, Kashoggi's Ship... ok, some ar not great songs but I like listening to them anyway. I think Queen detain one of the lowest precentages of bad songs out of all the songs they have written. I would say even lower than Beatles, Elton and Bowie. |
| geeksandgeeks 12.12.2003 15:55 |
Lazing On a Sunday Afternoon, Leroy Brown, and Tie Your Mother Down are the biggies for me. |
| PD. 12.12.2003 16:16 |
The only Queen song I "hate" is Delilah more closely its outro. I find the rest of Queen's songbook at least passable. If I was more aware of the lyrics I would dislike probably a lot more Queen songs. Also if my taste would not be as eclectic as it is. |
| Rich Tea 12.12.2003 16:31 |
Even the bad songs have something! Its all a matter of personnal taste & opinion. I've noticed mine changed after giving albums a few listens for example I didn't like Sweet Lady straight away but loved the rest of ANATO now Sweet Lady's a favourite while a former Fav Good Company now gets the least listens! Really bad Queen Songs Loser In The End Most of the others have at least 1 redeeming factor I even enjoy listening to Loser' just because it is that bad. |
| MercuryArts 12.12.2003 16:51 |
For a long time I didn't really like Cool Cat. Now I think its a good song. I think its got a great groove. But for me, Break Free is still my least favorite. And it has nothing to do w/ the video. I bought that album the day it was released & IWTBF just struck me the wrong way. 20 years later, (damn I'm getting old), it still bores me. Even more so, the extended version on the CD. Also, just about all of AKOM. With the obvious excpetions. WWTLF doesn't deserve to be on that album. |
| deleted user 12.12.2003 17:51 |
Songs that I don't really like?...hmmm! Body Language Get Down Make Love Seven Seas of Rhye(the Queen album version) |
| no-onebutme 13.12.2003 06:56 |
Don't have any song that I really hate but if I were to skip any songs they would be: Fight from the Inside Get Down Make Love We Will Rock You Sheer Heart Attack (there seems to be a pattern here...) Body Language. I think most song have something about them that make them worth listening to (interesting lyrics, good vocals or harmonies, good guitar riffs/solos etc) but these songs don't do anything for me. |
| Brian's sweet sister 13.12.2003 11:30 |
I don't think much of Sweet Lady or Get Down Make Love. I always skip them when I listen to the albums they are on. But 2 out of God knows how many songs they wrote ain't bad! |
| FriedChicken 13.12.2003 11:51 |
I don't think it's fair to say unreleased songs are good or bad, since it's just an unfinshed song you heard |
| Anto 13.12.2003 11:56 |

| Uglyduckling 15.12.2003 06:32 |
Even the 'weakest' songs on Queen albums are just as good, if not better, than the majority of material released in an album these days. Now, usually, there are maybe two songs on an album which are bearable, and the rest are filler. With Queen, its the other way round, and even then, the rare 'weak' songs can be favourites of some people. I find that in most cases, the songs i occasionally skip are skipped only becasue the idea is slightly underdeveloped. The musical 'theme' of the song is always origional and likeable, but the direction in which the song has been taken does not always suit the idea (at least in my head, in other people's it is fine!). Consequently, the 'weaker' songs are generally not of low quality, but the listener who thinks they are 'weak' cannot identify with the song because of an unusual arrangement, chord pattern, lyric, or whatever. The musicianship or origionality of the musical idea are hardly ever at fault (you may disagree, of course). Another reason may be that not all Queen songs are what would be considered light 'pop' music, and it takes effort to really listen and engage witht he song. I could be talking rubbish here. I can't actually think of any songs to which I have one of the above problems to the degree that I actually 'dislike' them! What can I say? I love Queen music! THat was pretty pointless, wasn't it? |
| FriedChicken 15.12.2003 07:05 |
I think even the 'bad' Queen songs have something which is interesting to listen to. Delilah - Brians guitar All gods people - the great african style in the middle Sweet Lady - everything except the chorus |
| agneepath9 15.12.2003 08:44 |
the term "Bad" is perhaps the wrong word to use? How many Queen fans here have hated some songs in the past only to appreciate them more years later? |
| FriedChicken 15.12.2003 11:57 |
there are songs i hated when i first heard them, and still hate them: pain is so close to pleasure funny how love is pain is so close to pleasure i'm going slightly mad delilah all gods people |
| Fenderek 15.12.2003 12:11 |
Seems like you really don't like "Pain/Pleasure"...:) |
| D.Blythe 15.12.2003 15:41 |
After the first couple of listens, I really do not care for "Don't Try Suicide". Sounds like filler. I also usually skip, but do not "hate", "Sweet Lady", "Sheer Heart Attack", "Fun It" (bad drum machine), "Life Is Real", "Gimme The Prize", "Don't Lose Your Head", "Party", "Khashoggi's Ship", and "Delilah". |
| pouria 15.12.2003 16:15 |
The Works Hot Space A kind of magic(whloe album except WWLF) Miracle(Except breakthrou,miracle,IWIA,Scandal) There are couple of other songs from the second album that i don't like but it doesn't mean they are bad. but seriously, those albums that i mentioned in above are really crappy. and i would never pay for them or even try download them. |
| Saffron Caribou 15.12.2003 16:23 |
I will still say that... Don't Loose Your Head is the worst Queen song. Followed closely by I Want It All. |
| Kuku 18.01.2004 04:29 |
"vinny2256->ALL THAT SOLO RUBBISH??" (Gargles) And I happen to think that some of Freddie solos are the best songs... I don't like heavy songs like Hitman and Body Language. I used to avoid listening to heavy epic songs (?! Was I a real Queen fan back then?) and later songs in the Miracle. Now, I am enraptured by any song... What wonders time and repeated listening could do... No, really, except for a few heavy pop-style (disco, more likely), I love every single song. |
| Banquo 18.01.2004 06:24 |
Body Language (Disco crap) Get Down, Make Love (I hate this song) White Man (Goes on and on and on and on) All God's People (Crappy words, crap tune) Machines (Machines vs Humans? Who cares) |
| monster 18.01.2004 08:27 |
Written by Uglyduckling: "Even the 'weakest' songs on Queen albums are just as good, if not better, than the majority of material released in an album these days. Now, usually, there are maybe two songs on an album which are bearable, and the rest are filler." You CAN'T be serious!!!? Do you even BUY albums now-a-days? I wonder what crappy albums you are buying. This statement is not only ridiculous false, but also a proof of the person not liking any contemporary music, maybe the person only likes queen? Open your eyes, search a little, and you will find superb contemporary music. The truth is Queen had lots of filler-songs in the 80's, and lets face it, none of the 80's albums are any strong. |
| Penis - Vagina 18.01.2004 10:13 |
Here's my least faves: -Jesus -The Loser In The End -Sweet Lady -Prophets Song (I like some of it but the repeated 'Now I know' type stuff sounds awful to me) -White Man -Fight From The Inside -Mustapha -All of Live Killers -All of Flash Gordon except the single version of Flash and The Wedding March :) -Party -Khashoggi's Ship -I Can't Live With You |

Written by Monster "You CAN'T be serious!!!? Do you even BUY albums now-a-days? I wonder what crappy albums you are buying. This statement is not only ridiculous false, but also a proof of the person not liking any contemporary music..." - You are right in the sense that there are lots of other good albums out there... but it is also true that many are after a certain style, rhythm, cliche, beat, etc. and after a while you can't tell whose is whose anymore... "The truth is Queen had lots of filler-songs in the 80's, and lets face it, none of the 80's albums are any strong." - I don't think you are necessarily right. The 80s music of Queen is a different style from 70s ones. It is true that 70s songs had more zeal, freshness and rock style to it. However, there are many gorgeous songs in the 80s album, just as musically apt, well-cut and beautiful. Reckon a personal taste cannot be a universal standard... What do you mean, there's no strong 80s album? (that you don't like any 80s Queen songs?) Did you even listen to Innuendo? IMO Sales =/= musicality |
| MexQueenFM 19.01.2004 14:28 |
the only song i don't like that much is Machines, the others ones i love |
| Mr.Jingles 19.01.2004 14:44 |
Monster, there's quite a lot of songs that many of us consider "fillers" on the 70s albums as well. Queen couldn't have spent the rest of their career playing the exact same kind of music. Artists are forced to re-invent themselves while still keeping their musical indentity, and that's a very hard thing to do in which very few suceed. Perhaps Queen went too far by experimenting with other rythms in 'Hot Space' (hence the fan response) yet still the album most Queen fans consider as "their worst" has grown on a lot of them as well... many Queenzoners can tell you that. Aside from the United States, Queen songs still received constant radio air play around the world, and album sales were quite good as well during the 80s. If you don't enjoy all the great stuff Queen did through the 80s, that's your loss. I find it sad that you call yourself a fan after denying the huge artistic talent these 4 guys had. |
| Uglyduckling 20.01.2004 09:35 |
To monster: Of course I buy albums nowadays, but I have great trouble finding any that I can listen to all the way through without skipping any. In fact, I find the only albums I can do this with are Queen albums (and I mean studio albums in both cases). If you can suggest to me some recent albums which you consider to be the same quality as Queen albums, I'd be very pleased to hear them. I read the musical press regularly to find out about new stuff. I'm only 15 so it would be difficult for me to not try to appreciate 'contemporary music', as I am constantly surrounded by it. Music is extremely important to me so I would not like to think of myself as someone who dismisses music without giving it a chance. I would be very pleased to find a band who can come anywhere close to the quality of Queen, and who are releasing studio albums currently. Of course I don't ONLY like Queen, I have a very wide range of musical taste. Maybe it is a case of once hearing the best, everything seems to pale in comparison, but I don't think I am as obtuse as that. As a result, I do not think that I would spend what little money I have on 'crappy' albums without researching them and reading reviews (although a good review is not the sole criterion for success, because, as we know, most bands who are revered today were slated by the musical press when they started out and, in some cases, throughout their career)first. My 'statement' was just my own view (based upon wide research on contemporary music and a half-decent knowledge combined with massive interest in music from previous years) and therefore cannot be rendered completely false. Just becasue we disagree, it does not mean that one of us is wrong. However, since you seem to be quite enthusiastic about contemporory music, I would be VERY interested to know which albums YOU have bought recently which you consider 'superb'. I am not 'its not like in the old days' - type person who is convinced that music is dead (far from it) but still, it would interest me to know what exactly makes you so sure it is still alive. |

"The truth is Queen had lots of filler-songs in the 80's, and lets face it, NONE of the 80's albums are any strong." -Heuuuuh...Does the album "The Game" sound familiar,yeah you know Queen's best selling album in the US.Anyway... "I don't think you are necessarily right. The 80s music of Queen is a different style from 70s ones. It is true that 70s songs had more zeal, freshness and rock style to it.

| Lester Burnham 20.01.2004 12:59 |
Not to start an argument or anything, but popularity doesn't exactly factor into the continuity of any album. Just because The Game was the most popular US album doesn't mean it doesn't have its fair share of filler. I tend to believe the album sold so well based on the popularity of 'Crazy Little Thing' and 'Another One Bites The Dust', but that doesn't mean I'll ever enjoy 'Coming Soon'. |
| Penis - Vagina 20.01.2004 13:17 |
hehe, if they were gonna put any filler on The Game, they woulda at least made it a few minutes longer. The music only totals 35:33. I love that album, the whole thing. Maybe I'm biased because it was my first Queen album and I've loved every minute of it since I was 9 :-P |
| Dicky Heart 20.01.2004 13:26 |
It's okay to say that Deliliah is not your favourite... but don;t say it like this.. I really like Delilah and Brian his solo in particular I think making music is like a kind of proces. When you don't be that creative to write all kind of songs.. (bad, average and good) you don't come to the proces to create that song wich has all elements in it. hehe... excuse me for my really bad english, but i hope you all unstand it. Listening to "Delilah" is worse than shoving shards of broken glass up my ass. But anyway.... I would just like to inform everyone that I have declared "Procession" the most important Queen song ever. If anyone has any disagreement, I'd love to hear it. |

Respect to those who have started there posts my least fav's! Because this is all about opinions and in my opinion even the very worst Queen could do pisses on the work of most other artists. I think I go through periods where I avoid certain Albums/Tracks and then suddenly a spark reignites my interest and I get back into that stuff. My least favourite Queen stuff at the moment - emmm haven't listened to jazz for a while! |
| Dicky Heart 21.01.2004 18:57 |
Well.. it's just simple. You've got some ideas for songs. But, when you're working on a song, you'll find new stuff wich might be intresting to use in songs you'll going to be working on in the future.. It might song a little silly, but i think it's true |

Im not saying everything in the 80s were crap, there were lots of great songs, but as albums they are too weak. Too many fillers in the 80s albums IMO. |
