You're not the only one to like it. I think it's a very good album. I even like the few funky songs they included.
PS - Thank you Richard for the bigger message composing box! Nice :)
I hit reply just to see the bigger box, and I was not let down.
Anyway, about your ludicrously titled post, there are quite a few people who like Hot Space. Unless you'd composed a poll while I was asleep asking people who liked and disliked Hot Space, then saying "I might be the only one" who likes an album is just bizarre.
I happen to like Hot Space, except for the first four tracks ('Dancer' is good) and 'Cool Cat'. The other seven songs are strong enough, in my eyes, to forgive the other four (although why 'Staying Power' was ever conceived is mind-boggling).
Come on!!!!!!!!!! That's a GREAT album. I like it as much as the other ones. Sometimes when you get bored with the most popular ones, you just grab Hot Space and listen to it non stop.
despite many people tend to hate it, I like Hot space!
As I said many times, the tracks sound even better when performed live... one of the worse loss on HS is red special and on Queen shows we can have it back! Just take a listen to Staying power from milton keynes bowl or to Back chat.. they blow your mind, Hot space rocks!!!
cheers!
