My favourite is probably The Loser In The End and my least favourite (don't you just hate that phrase) is probably The Loser In The End. I also like to spell favourite with a u.

By far for me the best is Father to Son. ([i]But you'll write it all again, before you die... yeah!"[/i]
White Queen is next, and I love Looser in The End too, I love all of Rodger's songs, (yes, even Fun It).

"I don't have a least favorite on this album. It flows seamlessly from beginning to end and is exactly as it should be."
Agreed

Hi guys. Haven't posted in years, but given the resurgence of Queen's catalog, this is the first place that came to mind. Hope you're all doing well. Now, back to topic...
Favorite: March Of The Black Queen. It still gets to me after all this years, just like all their theatrical, dynamic, explosive songs from 74-76 (Fairy Feller's, Ogre Battle, Lap of the gods, Teo Torriate, etc).
Least favorite: Seven Seas Of Rhye. It's a great song too, but I knew this one from compilations and videos so It didn't interest me as much as the rest of the album.

Overall I think Queen II is probably the band's most balanced (and the best) album. There just isn't a bad or a "fuller" song in the album which might have been Queen's biggest problem troughout their career (album wise). However, I think that The Loser In The End just doesn't fit in it. If it was only Brian and Freddie, I don't think that The Loser In The End -song would have been in the album. But since Queen was a group, they kinda "accepted" that. Personally I have to admit that I like Roger more on the backing vocals rather than lead vocals which might affect my opinion.
The Black Side of Queen II is just pure gold. After Brian May's brilliant songs Father to Son and White Queen (As It Began) comes the Mercury bit, which I think should be in the display window of Freddie's most finest group of songs. It's just hard to pick a favourite though. Right now I'd say Nevermore, depending A LOT of my mood. A great short song which seem to integrate the album altogether.
Worst: The Loser In The End Best: Nevermore

Favorite is March of the Black Queen...least favorite is Some Day One Day, although that wasn't a bad song either. Queen II is one of maybe 3 or 4 Queen albums where I like every single track...

Well, I'd have to say that I don't have a least favorite.
Although, I feel like Loser in the End doesn't belong on the album. It's a good song, but it doesn't fit into the flow of the album and ruins the mood at the end of the White Side

For some reason, the first two Queen albums sound different to me compared to SHA and beyond. I think there isn't a bad song on Queen II. I remember distinctly liking it better than the first album on the first listen because it's more melodic in many ways to me.
My favs are White Queen and Father to Son. I love Loser in the End too!

I guess every queen song is a favourite to me, so that's it.

nevermore ...by a country mile...it's so beautifully sung, constructed and the sighs between lines show freddie's perfect grasp of drama

I don't understand when you say Queen had many filler songs on their albums :p

Best--March of the Black Queen. I've been in love with it since I first listened to it; it changed my life.
Worst--The very next track. It kills the mood.
I honestly think The Loser in the End fits in well in the album. It fits in a hell of a lot better than FHLI, at least.
