Your Opinion: Weakest Song(s) in Queen's Catalog

1) You Take My Breath Away - the studio version is terrible, I almost never make it through the intro
10) A Hard Life - I almost fall asleep during this song
11) One Vision
17) The Miracle
[/QUOTE]
These are surprising entries !  I rank these among Queen's very best work in the studio.

If You Can't Beat Them.   Stinks.    
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]The only reason I'd put that below something like Pain Is So Close to Pleasure is because, as horrible as that track is, it at least takes a bit of doing to make something so ersatz and terrible.  If You Can't Beat Them could've been done in five minutes with everyone drunk and blindfolded.[/QUOTE]

Good point, Jimmy Dean. John and Roger do play quite well on Under Pressure. They essentially save the song.  I don't think it's near their best performance, however.  Check out Millionaire Waltz or Dragon Attack (John), or Now I'm Here (Roger). But I guess it's a matter of preference.  All four men were/are great musicians.

If you want a song that showcases all their talents... especially John's basework... go for Bring Back That Leroy Brown. Sail Away Sweet Sister & Play The Game have some surprisingly good baselicks and great precision drumming from Roger. Other notable baselines from John... Killer Queen, Dancer, Breakthru, of course Dragon Attack as you've mentioned, AOBTD, You Don't Fool Me and A Kind Of Magic

As for band performances - Hammer To Fall, One Vision, Millionaire Waltz & Now I'm Here (as you've mentioned), Innuendo and The Show Must Go On cover a lot of ground.

Party

I cant believe the same guy who wrote Bohemian Rhapsody would go and write a song like Body Language.

[/QUOTE]
I can - in fact, to me, it makes perfect sense.
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]He set out to write something pretty amazing with Bo Rhap, and he achieved that.  [/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]He set out to write a lameass dance number with Body Language, and that's exactly what he wrote.   If you look at it that way, he really was a genius at recording whatever he wanted.

It´s a suprise (to me) to see that a lot of people don´t like Jesus. I always love this song, cause it was one of the first songs that shows what brian can do with his guitar.

When I am listen to The Qwen, I always think that every song isn't actually so good.
I tried to play some of them on my recorder, but I done it too good and embarass myself.
My favourite Qwen is probably Tenement Funster becoz it has thise words that I like

"Qwen Qwen always be the best,
"Qwen Qwen will never be the best,
Good luck 2000"

Why casn't songs I am writing be that rubbish !! LoL![img=/images/smiley/msn/thumbs_down.gif][/img]

COOL CAT!!

The night comes down
Who needs you
Entire Jazz except Don't stop me now, Mustapha, FBG
Machines
Pain is so close to pleasure
Party
Kashoggi Ship
Rain must fall
My baby does me
Delilah
Made In Heaven album is rubbish (except Mother Love,a Winter's tale)
I'll also tell you that I LOVE Hot Space and Body Language as well

In Only Seven Days
Cool Cat
Body Language
All God's People
My Baby Does Me
Man On The Prowl
Life Is Real
More Of That Jazz

It's a Hard Life - goes nowhere.
Get Down Make Love - lazy writing and ruined many a live show
Bicycle Race - benny hill did this many times
Body Language - awful awful awful, how can Freddie write Bo Rhap, WATC, CLTCL and then up with this, awful
Delilah - ??????????

I Want To Break Free, top of my list every time! Live is much better but it still doesn't do a whole lot for me.
Delilah
Pain Is So Close To Pleasure
Friends Will be Friends
Don't Lose Your Head
Breakthru, (Apart from the intro)

Songs like Body Language, Cool Cat; even though they aren't any great musical accomplishments, I think Freddie's vocals are  great & that is what makes the song for me.  I could put Radio GaGa up there, but the lyrics are great & Freddie again lays down an amazing vocal which carries the song.
