You name Misfire as good and White Queen as bad? Are you joking or deaf?

I mean, Action, Backchat, and Staying Power, to me...are the highlights of 1982 Milton Keyes. But the studio versions of these songs sound like Boy George and Wham were the producers trying to achieve the ultimate gay bar sound track.

Damn it, any musician should be so lucky as to write as beautiful a ballad as "White Queen", and "Keep Passing.." is one of the most rocking half-intentionally cheesy bic razors ever, and still complicated and interesting enough to put almost any successful modern rock music writer to shame. Of course, these are only my opinions and by no means should be treated as anything but opinions, but they're based on intense education on music theory and years of exploring. Here's my list:

I totally agree with this compilation above bar one year of love( i like it for freddies vocals) all the rest are pure filler chiller bang out of order songs Bad queen!!!!!. But the others who put WHITE QUEEN MILLIONAIRE WALTZ really need to have their ears tested absolute classics they are.

Songs like "Keep Passing The Open Windows", "White Queen" and "Friends Will Be Friends" to name a few, are still masterpieces compared to other artists' similar attempts, however "gay" or "boring" they might sound compared to other Queen songs.

We Will Rock You (sometimes too much is just way too much..) 2. Son And Daughter (lyrics are alright though) 3. See What A Fool I've Been (never liked blues) 4. Lost Opportunity (see above) 5. Don't Try Suicide (well.. there's silliness, and then there's this one.) 6. Body Language (sort of fun, but doesn't really work either live or studio) 7. Fight From The Inside (rather anticlimatic throughout) 8. More Of That Jazz (if it weren't for the collage before the final semi-chorus, it'd be the Most Boring Queen Track, but the riff idea is sort of neat... too bad the song is too repetitive... I'm not even sure of exactly what is the track trying to be) 9. Delilah (sorry, I can't really like it, even if Freddie insisted on releasing it.. he sounds so worn out there... and there's the silliness factor there again) 10. Say It's Not True (it sounds like every other Roger song he did on his last two solo albums, only this time he did it under the Queen flag... sort of) 11. Gimme The Prize (a true soundtrack song, with clips and all... I dislike the lyrics probably the most out of all Queen catalogue, for here's Brian at his most pompous and pretentious, which doesn't work at all - at least Freddie had some style... also, the '86 drum sounds are IMHO the most horrible they ever had... and I hate the Guitar Hero bit at the beginning... if it weren't to make the movie more enjoyable, this would be useless) 12. Queen Talks (sort of fun but useless)

Good production doesn't make a good album. I could go to a studio and professionally record a sound of me farting, and produce it with top of the line equipment and techniques. And I can bet EMI won't be coming to me for a copy any time soon. Not that I'm comparing Hot Space to a fart. It's a good album, but when half of the songs are poor, no level of production will ever make it a classic.

You sir are an intelligent man. I don't even need to read your list to say I respect you as a person and a critic of music.

rocks. wrote: i didnt bother reading the last 2 and a half pages of this, but WHY may I ask are you wasting your time on this thread??? Last time I checked this was a FAN site, and everybodys always complaining of the lack of serious threads, so why make a thread about hating queen songs....its just ridiculous IMO. Fine, you hate the songs, what the HELL is the point of announcing it.
