Favorite Hot Space song?

There is quite a bit of negativity regarding Hot Space, and with arguably good reason. I just listened to it start to finish, and like it quite a bit. I am a HUGE Queen fan, but had never given it its fair chance. What is your favorite song from Hot Space? Face it, its still Freddie, Brian, John, and Roger :)

At this point, perhaps Action This Day or Put Out the Fire.

Staying Power

Love that track.

I like this album a lot!
Today i say "Cool Cat" or "Back Chat", but it really depends on the day.

I was one of the fans that grew up listening to all the previous Queen LP's before Hot Space and when it came out I was also one of those fans that dismissed it because I was used to hearing Tie Your Mother Down or Liar or Brighton Rock etc. I was worried at the time that this was NOT a rock album and wondered if they would ever get back to the old style we were used to prior to Hot Space.. BIG shock to a 16 year old hardcore fan. Anyway, Under pressure has to be my favorite tune off that LP.

Life is Real, Under Pressure (obviously) and Staying Power. Only songs I really dislike is Dancer, Body Language, Back Chat and Calling all Girls

Oh and Cool Cat. I hate cool cat with a passion.

While I am a die hard fan of 70s Rock Queen, I prefer the dance side to the rock side on Hot Space. Staying Power just makes me giddy. I think the rock side would have needed an entirely different "sound" to hold up as quality rock. As it is, it sounds too much like "New Wave" aka the throwaway stuff from The Game. Queen rock sounds best when it's fat.

Back Chat. One of Brian's sharpest solos, but unfortunately too short.

Totally!!! But not too short.

I think that's what makes that solo so tasty. He did what needed to be done. I think it's his best.

Cool Cat is amazing fools.

I sent Dr May an email a couple of years ago, asking if he and Roger would go back in the studio and rock up Hot Space, like the live versions. He responded that he didn't want to go back in time and if we wanted to hear rock versions, they were out there on boots. I even suggested calling it 'Hot Space Rocks'. Still think it would work if they ever got the bug.

Oh, and Cool Cat isn't @Flash Jazz just my opinion though for what its worth

Under Pressure, obviously. But as for the rest of the album, Dancer, IMO is a real gem from Queen and seems to get a lot of bad comments. But for me, out of all the funky stuff on the album, this is the best and in my opinion second only to Under Pressure from the full Hot Space album. I would have loved to hear this track live. Cool Cat is awful, Flash Jazz, we are entitled to our own opinions.

Toon_86, that is disapointing, but not surprising really. Great idea though, this summer could have been spent rocking up Hot Space, and revamping older tracks, instead of this ludicrous tour they have just done.

When it comes to something like this, they 'don't want to live in the past.'

Yet, when it comes to using the Queen name + logo + repertoire, it's OK to 'live in the past.'
