Favorite Hot Space song?

While Under Pressure is one of my favorite, if not the favorite, Queen songs, I think of it separately from the album. I don't know why, maybe because it doesn't really sound like much of the rest of the album. Anyway, I'd say Cool Cat is my favorite, with Life Is Real in a close second.

of course Under Pressure was the hit off that album- and I do think a lot of work was put into that song and I respect it. That was Queen's only collaboration which makes it special- I do think that it is an all around great song- one of their best to be honest. But besides Pressure, I enjoyed Life is Real and I liked the vibe that came off Cool Cat. Calling All Girls is also a pretty cool song. If people open their minds, it's really very far from a bad record..

hey,
i loved what queen did with Staying Power in the 82 shows they sped it up and made it rocky.
action this day is a fantastic song and backchat was always better live.

before i listened to the album i didn't have high hopes for it.

i put it on and liked it because it was so diferent to any other album.

it's not the best album but it's not dredfull.

I think that Hot Space is not a BAD album, it's only not a ROCK album... and it's not Queen's best.
My favorites songs are:
1) Put Out The Fire
2) Life Is Real
3) Staying Power (live)
5) Under Pressure

1 - las palabras de amor
2 - back chat
3 - cool cat

Dancer, Back Chat, Cool Cat and Staying Power

Back Chat, Las Palabras, Cool Cat and maybe Put out the Fire. UP is just a very nice bass riff.

Las Palabras de Amor!!!

Haven't heard that album in a while, but Las Palabras de Amor and Under Pressure are probably my favs. I've recently started to dig Body Language more. It's actually a solid song, once you fully grasp the tune.

Hot Space is one of the most entertaining Queen albums in my mind. I really love listening to it. This album contains some of the best vocal performances of Freddie's career I must add. 'Staying Power' is a great opener with Freddie getting a new lease of life and camping it up to no end. 'Dancer' is a little bit unbelievable but, 'Back Chat' is a nice Deacon track with a great bass line. Now 'Body Language' is one hell of a sexy track. The bass line slithers and slides like a macho snake looking for prey! The boldest single the band ever released and 'Action This Day' is a great stomper that reminds me of Bowie a bit. 'Put Out The Fire' is the weakest track as this rocker is at odds with the slick pop the rest of the album portrays. Freddie's tribute to Lennon, 'Life Is Real' is a beauty and full of the sadness of ex Beatle's death. Taylor's 'Calling All Girls' is a great acoustic rocker and the live version is almost better. 'Las Palabras De Amor' is one of the best Queen love songs, and the lines 'This room is bare, This night is cold. We're far apart and I'm growing old. But while we live, we'll meet again" will touch the heart of any human that has ever been in love with the realization of who matters the most! Then we have the clunker 'Cool Cat' I don't know how cool it actually is but I like Freddie doing Diana Ross. It's fun and makes way for the immortal 'Under Pressure' which needs no comment. Hot Space is booming on the stereo as I write this and the 2011 remaster is a tougher, funkier son of a gun that sounds superb, so get it today, turn it up loud and feel proud and thankful you're favourite band committed this work to tape back in 1982!

atom murray, you seem to like bumping up old threads. Odd part is that I remember when this was first posted.

I have no idea what my favorite track is. If someone asked me right now which one I'd want to listen to, I'd say Action This Day, I suppose.

1. Action
2. Dancer
3. Life
4. Palabras
5. Chat
6. Pressure (probably would be higher if not for the tragic curse known as overplaying. Not sure, though)
7. Power (not counting the live version like other people because, you know, Hot Space is definitely not a live album)
8. Fire
9. Girls
10. Cat
11. Language (blech)

Cool Cat

1)Staying Power
2)Body Language
3)Back Chat

Back Chat

Staying power
in that order .........for me anyhow![/QUOTE]

That's my three favourite tracks off Hot Space too. I might swap Back Chat and Dancer around (maybe not too!), but that would be it.

Staying Power and Body Language are my favorites. Hot Space was the first album I owned. Well, after Greatest Hits I and II.
