10 Best and Worst Queen Songs of All Time

Somebody to love
White Man
Dreamers Ball
Staying Power
My Melancholy Blues
Spread Your Wings
Father to son
Dancer
Death on two legs
Show must go on

ten worst are easy as stinkers are stinkers "right til the end"...

 The Invisible Man  
Really appalling, turgid and offensive re-working of Ray Parker Juniors ´´Ghostbusters´´complete with annoying electro bass.
Man on the Prowl
A Complete bollocks attempt to retread ´Crazy little thing´ territory with Shakin Stevens style guitar solo. Should have given the whole song to him.
Misfire
The Clue is in the title. Thankfully JD´s songwriting got better.
My Baby Does Me
Yes I should think she probably does but not while listening to this surely. (Original Vinyl of the Miracle criminally overlooked ¨Hang on in There¨ in favour of this - what were they thinking of)
Delilah
Sorry Fred but a song about your cat has no place on a Queen Album. Even a GOOD song about your cat has no place on a Queen album and this is not a good song infact the song would probably pee all over your chippendale suite too. 
Was it all Worth it
"We bought a drumkit, thought we were perfect"....on the strength of these lyrics ´they, sadly, weren´t perfect at all - nor was it "Worth it". 
The Hitman
It wasn´t "A Hit" man.
Coming Soon
This song is not offensive - it just bores me beyond continence and that, for Queen, is unforgivable. 
Don´t lose your Head
Quite difficult not to lose your head when there is noise but no song.
Friends will be Friends
Shallow, Mawkish, sentimental lighter - waving at it´s very worst from Queen´s worst album.Actually in my experience Friends WON¨T be Friends unless your friend happens to be a Labrador.
----------------
Delilah: X'D
I used to like it a lot when I was 12  (at that time I didn't speak English and I thought Delilah was a girl - the meows didn´t give me a clue). Years later, I realised it's in fact a crappy song, but I'm still very fond of it.

FWBF: I completely agree with you!

Oh my....can you be a Queen fan and have that many "worst" songs? ; ) I do like your best list, Kuba!

Is Kuba actually Gerry?

Evidently Kuba loves Freddie, but is not fond of Brian or Roger.

...

All 10 of his best songs were written by Freddie.

2 of his worst songs were written by Freddie.

2 of his worst songs were cowritten by Freddie and John.

2 of his worst songs were written by John.

not a chance. he/she has been here 10 years (only two posts) - Gerry (six/seven ears).
only other post has technical depth (a Gerry no-no), and grammatically it's better than anything we've seen from Gerry.
