Favourite B-side

Hijack My Heart

I go crazy,

In order:
- I go Crazy ( I still don`t understand WHY they didn't put in The Works Album...only 9 songs)
- Hijack My Heart
- Soul Brother ( If¨"cool cat" was in Hot Space Album...)
- Hang On In There
- Human Body

I disagree with Wizard however, I think Soul Brother is definitely good enough to be on Hot Space.

Come to think of it, I'd agree with you on that.

In fact, we once had a thread here where we discussed alternative album track listings. For Hot Space, I scrapped Body Language, moved Cool Cat to side A, added Soul Brother to side B, and swapped the sides. That likely would've made a pretty major difference in Queen's career in the US. But, as always, hindsight is 20/20.

If Mad The Swine counts as a B-Side it would be that. If not, Soul Brother.[/QUOTE]
single most predictable - but also 100% consistent reply

Does it have to be a non album track b-side?
If so, my favourite is: soul brother
If I have to choose from any b-side my favourite would be:
The b-side to Tie Your Mother Down.
Europe / UK : You and I
Other markets: Drowse
Great great tracks. I prefer them instead of Tie Your Mother Down wich is a very boring track IMHO.

I'll have to say I Go Crazy. I haven't listened to them all enough to say really

Soul Brother and
Stealin'

"My Life Has Been Saved". Lovely song. (:

Hmm. Why do you say that? "Body Language" hit #11 in the US. The magnificent "Under Pressure" stalled at #29 the year earlier. I would have followed "BL" it with "Las Palabras De Amor" instead of "Calling All Girls". If there was still life in the record come with "Calling All Girls"

Body Language was a hit, but with the singles-buying crowd. The song made most Queen fans embarrassed to be Queen fans. Were you around in 1982 to experience that? I know plenty of people who were. Just imagine - the band who wrote Queen II and ANATO releasing gay club music just 7 years later.

Releasing Calling All Girls as a single was likely a move to appease Roger. It was the first time one of his songs was released as a single. Las Palabras is a great tune, but it wouldn't have been a big hit like Under Pressure. The album was a bust.

After dressing up as women two years later in Break Free, their career in the US was done.

1: A Human Body
2: Soul Brother
3: I'm In Love With My Car :-)

We just started playing 'I Go Crazy' with the band.

Awesome song! Absolutely LOVE the Drum sound on it! Nice and rough!
