There are several songs on the album I like, particularly Rock It, but it's Brian's contributions in Save Me, Sail Away Sweet Sister and Dragon Attack that for me make that album close to great..

Granted, they're overly popular. I don't think that makes them bad songs though, just not as overwhelmingly great as their popularity would suggest. Still not something that would actually bring down the overall quality of an album or something, that's ridiculous.
Hm. Don't Try Suicide can make me cringe because it's so jovial in a subject which really isn't funny. Musically, however, I don't find it a bad song.
top 5 best is easy for me (rough order)
Queen l
A Night At The Opera
Queen ll
A Day At The Races
Sheer Heart Attack
top 5 worst...
Hot Space
A Kind Of Magic
The Miracle
The Game
News Of The World
Just because they'e in my worst list doesn't mean I hate them. The Game is pretty decent but doesn't really strike anything with me, Save Me and AOBTD are great though. CLTCL is absolutely boring in my opinion, better live. News Of The World has it's moments but really the only song I like on the album itself is It's Late. The BBC version of Spread Your WIngs is outstanding, and it was great live too. Rock You and WATC I may be biased with becuase they're so overplayed, I do enjoy them live for the most part. Melancholy Blues and Sheer Heart Attack are were great live. The others I really don't care for a whole lot at all.

Definitely. The piano alone adds so much life to it.
OK my favourites are
Queen 2
A Night At The Opera
News Of The World
Innuendo
Made in Heaven
Jazz
Flash Gordon
The Game
Sheer Heart Attack
In the middle:
The Miracle. brilliant half, less brilliant half
Least Favourites but still love these are:
A Kind Of Magic
Hot Space
The Works
A Day at the Races
Queen
The Cosmos Rocks is weaker than all of the above in my opinion, but doesn't qualify for the bottom 5 given it is a QPR album and not a true Queen album.
Best: A Night At the Opera
Queen II
Queen
Sheer Heart Attack
Innuendo
Worst: Hot Shot
The Works
A Kind of Magic
Flash Gordon
The Miracle
Hot Shot is indeed a crappy album, like the title though :)
Hot Shit?
Hot Stuff
I actually love all of the albums so if they're in the worst list it means I just don't love them as much as the others :)

Unsure why Magic is so unpopular for it had many great songs on the album, however it is short. I suppose it should have been the Highlander soundtrack.
