Body Language is up there. But Sweet Lady and White Man? Not to me.

I like Sweet Lady and White Man. And I like Cool Cat. One of my favorite from Hot Space.

I dislike you
Sebastian
My bottom three would be Delilah, Loser in the End and I Want to Break Free.
Vocal harmony
I Want To Break Free, Friends Will Be Friends, Man On The Prowl

ive always disliked Friends will be Friends too. my other two least favourites would probably be Rain Must Fall and Pain is so Close to Pleasure

My least favourite Queen track is 'She Makes Me'.
'Sweet Lady' has grown on me, but is probably my least favourite on ANATO.
'White Man' s a great track to me so I can't understand that being in anyone's bottom three!!
'Man on the Prowl' is a poor man's 'Crazy Little Thing...', and I'm not keen on it (though have a slight soft spot for it as my late father loved it!).
'Cool Cat' used to be one in my younger, less mature days I would hate, but now I can appreciate it far more; Freddie's sublime falsetto control and delivery,and John's subtle arrangement and gorgeous bassline help it be a 'genuine' soulful track, whereas 'Pain Is So Close To Pleasure' is forced pop/r n b, and 'One Year of Love' really (to me) is Freddie's worst vocal - terribly forced and over the top.
In summary, my top 3 'worst' would be: 'She Makes Me' 'Man on the Prowl' and 'One Year of Love'.
ps - 'Don't Lose Your Head' is a waste of a few minutes too, isn't it?!!!

Really good suggestions regarding bottom three's so far, I think these stand out in particular:
Pain is so close to pleasure, Man On The Prowl, Delilah, Loser in the End and I Want to Break Free, One Year Of Love (as mentioned Freddie is awful on that). Friends Will Be Friends is a huge turd as well.
She Makes Me is not bad though. Though May's delivery is lackluster as usual, it has few nice chord sequences and a cool ending with Roger pummeling away on the toms.
Sweet Lady has way too good performances by each member to be even close to the bottom, even though it's far from Brians best as a song.
Overall I think The Works and AKOM are close rivals in having the most duds per album. Hot Space isn't a great listen either, but it has less songs that are decidedly crap.

Right on the first one. As for the next two, you're deaf.

Body Language I agree with (although it's a bit of a guilty pleasure).
While Sweet Lady is my least favorite off ANATO, I still like the song and White Man is awesome.
Man On The Prowl, Don't Lose Your Head, One Year Of Love, Pain Is So Close To Pleasure, Party, Khashoggi's Ship, Rain Must Fall, My Baby Does Me, and Delilah are all contenders for horrible/worse Queen songs.
