thanks for bringing the first smile of the day in my face [img=/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif][/img]

My Life Has Been Saved
Soul Brother
A New Life Is Born (is this fully recorded/completed, we only heard the demo...)

Oh yes I liked Immigrant Song , its so funny the way Freddie sings it. I wish they'd included it in the setlist at Budapest or Wembley. We could have got it on video.

Perhaps this should go into Serious Discussion, but I don't want to start a new thread when this one is going strong. So, presented for consideration and discussion...
 
Maybe I think about these things too much, but my defination of on a non-album track is this:

a) Does not appear on ALL original-release formats (Cassette, LP, CD, 8-track, etc) of the album. The Miracle is the only original CD to have bonus tracks. The LP and Cassette did not, therefore I classify the bonus tracks as non-album tracks.

b) Does not appear on any album, which the exception of re-issues or re-releases (like the 1991 Hollywood Records re-issues).

c) Was recorded and released independent of an original studio album (such as "No One But You").

d) Is titled differently than a track which appears on the original album it's related too. I take this cue from The Complete Works boxed set LP Complete Vision, which includes "Blurred Vision" as an original track, despite being a remix of sorts of "One Vision." However, "Flash" (the single version) does not appear on Complete Vision. Owning the 7", I notice the song is listed as "Flash (aka Flash's Theme)," which for me shows that "Flash" ought to be considered simply a single version of the album track and not a different track, the way "Blurred Vision" is.

e) Was released and represents an alternate original recording, despite sharing the name of an existing album track("Keep Yourself Alive [Long Lost Re-take]" and "My Life Has Been Saved [1989]").  

So that leaves us with the following:

Freddie Era:
Keep Yourself Alive (Long Lost Re-take)
Mad The Swine
See What A Fool I've Been
A Human Body
Soul Brother
Thank God It's Christmas
I Go Crazy
Rock In Rio Blues
Blurred Vision
A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling
A Kind Of 'A Kind Of Magic'
Friends Will Be Friends Will Be Friends
Forever
Hang On In There
Chinese Torture
Stealin'
Hijack My Heart
My Life Has Been Saved (Original Version)
Lost Opportunity
No One But You (Only The Good Die Young)

I think we all agree that "No One But You" represents the bookend of the Freddie era.

Post-Freddie Era:
Somebody To Love (with George Michael)
These Are The Days Of Our Lives (with George Michael & Lisa Stansfield)
The Show Must Go On (with Elton John)
We Are The Champions (with Robbie Williams)
We Will Rock You (with Five)
We Will Rock You (with John Farnham)
The Invincible Hope (One Year On Mix)
Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime (with Zucchero)
We Will Rock You (with Britney Spears, Pink & Beyonce)
Seagull (Live In Italy) (with Paul Rodgers)
Fat Bottomed Girls (Live In Italy) (with Paul Rodgers)
Bohemian Rhapsody (Live At Hyde Park) (with Paul Rodgers)
Runaway (with Paul Rodgers)
Fire And Water (Live In Japan) (with Paul Rodgers)
The Show Must Go On (Live In Japan) (With Paul Rodgers)
Radio Ga Ga (Live In Ukraine) (with Paul Rodgers)
A Kind Of Magic (Live In Ukraine) (with Paul Rodgers)

I Go Crazy !

I think I Go Crazy is probably the best. Of course compare to some bands, like Blur or REM, Queen have very little non-album material to speak of.

I Go Crazy;

See What A Fool I've Been;

Mad the Swine.

And there you have it!
