5 best Queen Albums and 5 Worst

^ Oh, stop it.  The Game is hardly a pile of rubbish now.  :)  And why do you hate Save Me (as described on another thread) to the degree that you do? It's dramatic and indulgent, but that perfectly captures the feelings of fresh heartbreak.  I think it's a wonderful song.

Anything with Play the Game on it, just CAN'T be rubbish. It's impossible.

Funky Horsie - hey, I actually like Play the Game! It's just most of the album is depressing in quality. If you read my post in the 'worst albums ever' thread you'll see Play the Game, Bites the Dust and Crazy Little Thing get 100% from me. The rest... well, read the post. And for a well, an 'off' album, shall we say, four songs from The Game get entries in my top 50 Queen songs, with Play the Game rocketing to #22. There are lights on that murky horizon, you just have to look.

Here is my picks:

Best Queen albums:

 1) News Of The World and A Night At The Opera (tie, first two Queen albums I LEGITIMATELY OWNED on CD in March of 1992 once catalog was completely re-released in the States)
 2) A Day At The Races (when I first got the cassette in May of 1992, I was blown away by the album. I upgraded to CD in two months)
 3) The Game (second Queen studio album I heard in entirety after ANATO when I made a dub and wore that sucker out in time for when I got the CD in June of 1992).
 4) The Miracle (my second favorite 1980s Queen album and it flows great)
 5) Innuendo (the Queen equal to Abbey Road, a perfect final studio album (Made in Heaven was the Let it Be))

Worst Queen albums:

 1) Stone Cold Classics (only released to cash in on American F*cking Idol)
 2) Greatest Hits III (wished it was the tunes excised from volumes 1 and 2, no SOLO SH*T)
 3) Live Magic (thank Christ this was not on CD in the US for over a decade and should have been a double album with mainly the Knebworth and Budapest performances)
 4) Live at Wembley (I apologize but the excessive overdubs ruin it for me)
 5) Classic Queen/Greatest Hits (US Maroon cover) (was good for awhile but obsolete once Hollywood released the Greatest Hits 1 and 2 package in 1995)

Best live Queen albums:

 1) Queen Rock Montreal 1981 (unlike the DVD, you get the FULL SHOW as NATURE INTENDED with a tiny bit extra stage bantering from Freddie)
 2) Queen On Fire Live at the Bowl 1982 (luckily with Pro-Tools and Auto-Pitch, everything that went wrong was corrected as best as possible but the band played with a hunger)
 3) Live Killers (was #1 but fell once the two previous live albums above were released)
 4) Queen at the BBC

DreamersBall...what is it that you don't like about The Works?

5 Best Queen Albums

        1. Queen 2: Although side white isn't the best queen side ever, side black is amazing and makes it worthy of the #1 spot.
        2, Sheer Heart Attack: An overall great album. Shows Queen making more radio friendly hits that still rock like Queen 1+2
        3. A Night At The Opera: Has the Greatest song ever written and: You're My Best Friend, 39', etc. A classic.
        4. News of the World: Although a number of people dislike this album I think it is one of there best, full of hidden Gems.
        5. The Game: Poppiest Queen Album but all the songs except for a few are amazing.

    5 Worst Queen Albums (1 being the worst of them all)

        1. Flash Gordon: Only 1 great song, the rest are just blah.
        2. A Kind Of Magic; The title track was never a favorite, One Vision is good but it contains a lot of songs made for a movie.
        3. Made In Heaven: Although it was a nice idea to give the fans some unrealesed music, most of it is bad.
        4.The Miracle: Has some great songs like I Want it All and the title track, but also has a bunch of bad songs
        5. The Works: Not a bad album. HtF, IWTBF, and RG are amazing songs, but Man on the prowl and Its a Hard Life are to similar to other queen songs from the Game.
