Why is Body Language so reviled?

I still love Another One Bites The Dust - always have - but it still surprises me how MUCH they say it influenced Hot Space.

And, by that I guess I mean... I've always thought Hot Space was more of a dance (disco?) record where Another One Bites The Dust sat more firmly in the funk/black category.

Just my $0.02.

I think most will agree that HS was their weakest album to date. After 8 solid albums they lost it a bit, but I personally think of Hot Space as a middle of the road album, not horrible like some say. Body Language isn't great, bit it's not my least favorite Queen song or even on that album. It's Hated for obvious reasons, real wizard pointed out the obvious. The same reason priest fans hated Turbo Lover. An experimental album gone wrong. I admit I get in my HS moods, like I said, it's not Terrible.

The Living on my own video disguting!?!?!

I would love to be in the position of riches and fame to have that kind of utterly debauchery filled champagne swilling, sex orgy party.


That is what life is about.

Mike Hunt: i totally agree with you, "Hot Space" at the time was weak, but i found it fascinating that Queen could cross over
from been this heavy rock band to cleverly going into unknown funk/disco/rock territory, it only proved they were a very versatile group and they could put there hands to anything!
Innuendo and made in heaven albums for me where bitter, and although freddies vocals on innuendo album were brilliant the songs were not!
So yeah Hot space does have a fondness in my heart, because the songs were enjoyable to me.
pity "Dancer" was never released as a single though with a 12 in version like "Backchat!

You're expressing your hate for Innuendo and MIH in almost every post, we got what you mean, thanks.
You can dislike everything you want but to say there is not a single good song on Innuendo is cobblers. Personally I think Innuendo (the song) is miles better than anything from Hot Space, perhaps except Under Pressure.
The Show Must Go On is an anthem, one of the first Queen songs I heard that got me into the band, how is it bad or bitter? It's epic.

i just do not like the tunes on innuendo, and we are all entitled to our own opinions on Queens back catalogue mr. mouse.
sure "Headlong" "All gods people" & "Im going slightly mad" are interesting songs but over all the feel of the album is not right for me.
"Delilah" is desperate trash which should not have seen the light of day!

I consider the song Innuendo being way better than Under Pressure.

For me "Under Pressure" wins hands down to "innuendo" because it has more Queen
trademarks and is sort of rock/pop orientated.
Innuendo gets boring half way through and i loose interest!

Innuendo is one of Queens very best songs, the only weak songs on that album for me is Delilah and Hitman the rest is perfect. MIN is also nice, Both are better than HS for me. I respect Gerry opinions, He doesn't change is opinions for anyone.

^^^ There is a huge distance between Delilah and The Hitman.
I doubt that even Freddie himshelf would consider Delilah a really good song. Its more like a joke inside a very heavy in concept album. Freddie would consider it a " breather" i guess, like he did on My Baby Does Me on The Miracle. So its a totally in concept effort to be totally silly for 3.5 minutes while you are dealling with mortality in most of the album.

Hitman on the other hand had real potential, if only it was treated better production-wise.

yes thats probably why i dislike innuendo because it sounds
of death looming and that is so painful.
i like to remember Freddie through happier Queen albums
and for me Hot Space came out when Freddie was full of beans and happy with life.

I personally don't like Body Language. I don't even really know why. I like Staying Power, Back Chat and Cool Cat though.

Mmm Hedonism

Delilah isn't a good song, but for some odd reason I like it. The Hitman had Potential with better lyrics.

I've always loved Body Language. The studio version of Staying Power even more. Everyone goes on and on about Staying Power(live) while slighting the studio version. I don't get it. Staying Power is one of Freddie's best songs ever, imho.
