Which of the big hits do you do you think are the least good? Radio Ga Ga and Another one bites the dust are songs I dont like that much. I never listen to them 2 times in a row. Other less good hits are for example Headlong, the Invisible Man, I'm going slightly mad and Miracle. Do you agree at all? |

I think this is where we can easily justify the importance of promo videos. Now, I can watch the videos of The Miracle, Slightly Mad, Headlong etc all day and every day but without theses images, granted these are not possibly their strongest tracks. The video for slightly Mad helps bring these hilarious images to mind when you listen to it but would the song be as well respected without this. I will leave that open to debate. |

We Will Rock You. Maybe it's hearing it so many times, but I hate that with every other amazing song the band created, it's their most simplistic that people always seem to remember first. |

Queen fans love songs like March Of The Black Queen, but those song are not appreciated by the non Queen fans. I think they've only released songs which are easy to listen. |

First of all I don't think that "Headlong", "Miracle" and "Slightly Mad" were big hits. I think we can even say that the last one failed in the charts. It was a 2nd single and it reached only no.22! That's not very well as for a 2nd single from Queen album, don't you think? BTW I think it's one of their finest songs. My vote goes to "A Kind Of Magic". |

Seven Seas Of Rhye, Bicycle Race, and It's A Hard Life. |

Oddly enough, Queen always seemed to pick the best singles from their albums. There are, of course, exceptions: - the edited version of Liar, though I think that was Elektra's fault - Tie Your Mother Down ('You And I' would've been a better choice) - Bicycle Race - Play The Game - Body Language (duh) - The Miracle and Scandal - You Don't Fool Me |

what do you think about radio ga ga? I think its a quite boring disco song. Same as whith AOBTD, they both are good hits you can remember, and good songs as singles. But musically they are not so good. |

Somebody to love i dont like.live version better |
| TheProphet 27.02.2005 14:52 |
You don't like somebody to love??? I love it!!! It´s also good live. One great single and a song I never get bored to listen is Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy!!! Mabe the best song by queen! At least it´s one of my favourite queen songs. The live version ( at least Osaka 77 ) is also brilliant! What do you think about it as a song and as a single release? I remember it didn´t do very vell in the single market, which is kind of odd. |

doesn't seem like it, does it? |
| Lester Burnham 27.02.2005 17:58 |
'Radio Ga Ga' is probably one of Queen's very best singles ever. That and it has a smashing video. |
| Banquo 27.02.2005 18:03 |
For a band who were considered an 'album band' they picked great singles. As proved by the recent poll on Channel 4. |

Is it just me or does anyone else absolutely hate You Don't Fool Me? |

It's one of those tracks that takes a while to grow on you, kind of like how it takes some time to warm up to Hot Space, which this track is reminiscent of. |
| News Of The World 28.02.2005 02:07 |
Teo Torriate would have been a better choice than Good Old fasioned lover boy. Friends Will Be Friends should have never been a single, it shouldn't even been put on any album or even released. |
| stormtrooper in stilettos 28.02.2005 07:21 |
i dont agree with this statement at all we're Queen fans and we should be complimenting their music not critising the music!!!!!!!! |
| chico 28.02.2005 17:25 |
I'd say Queen is like Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd , you should listen to the whole album to get the full Queen experience. Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were never into singles .In fact I don't think Led Zeppelin ever released a single in the U.K. . |
| brian_may_wannabe 01.03.2005 04:47 |
Well, Another One Bites The Dust has never been my favourite, so I say no more... |

I will leave that open to debate.Indead the first time I heared I'm Going Slightly Mad, I thought like what a boring song. But then I saw it with the clip and I loved it. Same with The Miracle. However Headlong has a weak clip. On the subject of the topic, I do think that Queen made some mistakes over which songs they released as singles sometimes. However I ususally like songs that were not released as singles more anyway, simply because variety is the spice of life, and some songs you just hear too much! Saying that, there are obviously some songs that you can never get tired of, but I make a point of not listening to BoRhap too much because I don't want to get bored of such a great song! |

oberon : Led Zeppelin released singles in North America . In the U.K. things are usually a bit different. Case in point: in the early 1970's T-Rex were the biggest thing since sliced bread in the U.K. ,but here in North America well let's just say ..not so big . SORRY I WENT OFF ON A TANGENT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SITE ABOUT QUEEN . |
| brian_may_wannabe 01.03.2005 16:08 |
Was Body Language released as a single? If it was, then I don't know what's worse for me: Another One Bites The Dust (which I've always said is not my favourite) or Body Language. |
| Killer_fan_Mexico14 01.03.2005 18:49 |
Well, I dislike Hammer to Fall & Fat Bottomed Girls.But it doesn´t means that those are bad songs. Its a point of view isnt it? |
| Vdo28 02.03.2005 04:50 |
Yeah it is a point of view. Because I really love fat bottomed girls. Another of my favourite song is Tie you mother down.... That really rocks. |
