Worst album?

For those of you that hate Jazz, i think the production might be getting in your way. Don't Stop Me Now makes the album a keeper, and while it wasn't a prime album, the band was in its prime at the time.

The Miracle and Hot Space are  embarrassing to listen to.

I love Roger Taylor's drumming on the Jazz album.  It made it very special. ;)

"Queen Rocks" - a terrible commercial thing!

hot space is a guilty pleasure for me, I personally like the album.  No Queen album is embarrassing to listen to, what over dramatic crap from a young idiot.

Its "Hot Space" for me

The Works , despite some very good songs - it feels short and the running order of the songs doesn't work for me.

Sorry its gotta be Hot Space.Apart from Las Palabras de Amor and Under Pressure.The rest is shite.Including the cringeworthy Put Out The Fire in which the absolutely cringeworthy lyrics"You know a gun never killed nobody.You can ask anyone.People get shot by people.People with guns"

First off, Flash Gordon rules!

The worst if you count all Queen related material is probably one of the albums by The Cross.  If just the name, than Cosmos Rocks.  But of all true Queen I'd go with The Works probably.

Gee, thats hard.......probably made in heaven, didnt have much to work with.

I don't consider any Queen album lesser than another.  To me, Queen were, and still are to some extent, an experimental rock band.  Freddie said it himself that he could never stick to just one genre or style.  Their music constantly changed, and so did the style of recording their albums -- for example, News of the World sounded spectacular, but Jazz sounded inferior.  They kept changing their formula, because they probably didn't want to become bored, or appeal to their audience in that matter.  That being said, I don't rate any album as worse than another -- but I will say which ones I consider to be their most impressive and stunning
(Innuendo, A Night at the Opera, and A Day at the Races).

I'm very sympathetic to this view. Good remarks.

A Kind of Magic.

But I like Pain is so close to pleasure and Don't lose your head.

[b]Live Magic,[/b] if you consider live record : it's a mess !

Worst must be MADE IN HEAVEN. Simply a disgrace.
[/QUOTE]For me every album until THE GAME had not a single filler. From then one, I disliked songs. BODY LANGUAGE for example - just teribble.[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]What's that JAZZ hating about? It's such a good album. Every song is amazing and the variety is pretty wide. [/QUOTE]

The Miracle was their best album of the 80s, I don't know why anyone would say it's their worst. But A Kind of Magic is very weak... a short album that's loaded with filler. Same is true of The Works too - both albums had four good singles but most of the rest of the material is sub-par.
