Don't forget Number One In Heaven, Lil' Beethoven and Hello Young Lovers - and pretty much everything they've done since 2002. Such an amazing band.

It shows that Queen were serious about the band being a job - the difference between them absorbing sounds and styles of contemporaries and merely copying.
Beyond the mentioned albums, there are some Sparks 'deep cuts' well worth checking. The Whomp That Sucker album was recorded at the same time (and the same studio with Mack) as The Game and there are some startling similarities.
The originally unreleased version of I Like Girls (from 1972/3) has a fantastic glam sound with fiddly lead guitar parts that puts me in mind of Queen II for some reason.
The guitar solo of Big Boy (1976) is pure Queen harmonics. Ironically, much of that material was demoed with Mick Ronson on guitar whose early work with the Spiders From Mars was nicked (at least conceptually) wholesale by Queen.
