I think this kind of posts should be deleted inmediatly, because, is a offense for some fans, for example, I love mustapha, and body languaje, and I hate to see an idiot saying that is a bad song... is a lack of respect for some people...

No THAT'S idiotic. Please see the FAQs to find out what a 'Stepford Fan' is. Never heard of freedom of speech/choice? Finding out that somebody dislikes a song which they love is irritating sure enough, but most sane balanced people can get over it.






Granted I'm unsure as to how many of the aforementioned we can say exist within the realms of the QZ forum but still I think most of them can cope with liking C-Lebrity and finding out that someone else loathes it.

You know what? youre right... I guess that I loose some of my common sence when I wrote that... I was such an idiot! (my girlfriend just left me and all that),,, but thanks for correcting me!

HOW DARE YOU! That is my favorite song! I'm going to have to create a video begging you to re-consider a different song. Or, I may have to report you to the FBI for saying that is the worst Queen song, it certainly is a felony for you saying it is. LoL!

Don't take this personally SI, but your taste in music sucks ass. Unless your kidding. Then my ability to sense sarcasm sucks ass!

Sweet Insanity is entitled to his/her own opinion.  Taste in music is objective.  You don't like his/her taste in music but that doesn't mean his/her taste in music sucks, it's just different.

Queen is perfect. There is no worst song.

You've never heard Back Chat then.[/QUOTE]

Back Chat is great! exelente solo!... and the live version is awesome, with that slap bass in the end by John...! one of the bests solos from brian on hot space, along with Dancer...

Brian is the standout in Back Chat.  The rest of the song is an abortion...  those awful e-drums...  the words themselves "Back Chat" just don't sound good.  It's not a good phrase to base a song around, it sounds like a mouthful.Freddie's pretty sensational though, and as I said, Brian is his usual brilliant self.[/QUOTE]

Is the word you are looking for by any chance "aberration"?

No, in this instance it's definitely not.

It just happens to be back chat I like

I disagree about back chat, it's a good one for me.  If thrilla was influenced by hot space I think back chat was one of the reasons.  A funk song with a rock guitar solo. Didn't thriller have a hit with that formular?

Hello Mi,

I agree, Back Chat is great and a great live performance on ´Queen at the bowl´. I love the dance stuff on Hot Space.

what some of our younger viewers may not realise with 'pain is so close to pleasure' is that the mid 80's were full of hit songs like it,for example Chain Reaction by Diana Ross, so the song fits very nicely into that era.
A Human Body is one of those quirky Roger songs that would of been better on Fun In Space
for me personally Man On The Prowl was their worst effort due,simply,because it was just a piss poor follow-on from Crazy Little Thing Called Love [with Swett Lady a very close 2nd]

To add a little further objective opinion to this fascinating debate/discussion - after reading all of the suggestions so far it is interesting to note that nobody has suggested a title from the Cosmos Rocks.  Now it this due to the assumption that it isn't a 'Queen' record or do you all think that ALL of the Cosmos Rocks content is an improvement on say Hot Space content or The Works? 

I personally would struggle to find an answer to having to suggest a worst or least liked track.  Each track and album to me needs to be placed in context with the period in which it was put together and released.  Some of my least favourite Queen tracks trigger memories of an era or a specific happening in my life so although I may like some tracks more than others I tend to appreciate Queen's career/musical output more as a whole (like a symphony) and find it really difficult to see each track just as a record.

For example unlike a wide number of Queen fans I really appreciate/like Hot Space as an album - Some people may object to 'Put Out the Fire' as a track and may put it on their worst list.  Even Brian stated that he recorded its guitar solo under the influence of alcohol (after many unsuccessful attempts).

To me as a teenager at the time this track stuck in my mind as a strong statement and although some people may question my lack of choice of music I'd find it difficult to place it on a worst list.  Re-listening to all of the Queen catalogue I could probably come up with a reason for liking something about almost all of their work. Just an option - take it or leave it.  And before anyone starts I'm not some kind of Queen sycophant. Objectivity and likes and dislikes are so personal it may be impossible to come up with a definitive Queen's no1 worst song must be: X

I can remember Freddie describing Queen music as disposable in that you will listen to it and then most probably discard it.  This in itself seems to have been a throw away comment but it would be interesting to reflect on which tracks Freddie would have suggested were the worst and or best testiments to Queen's artist output.
