Is this a challenge for who makes the most idiotic statement about any song?

RTWW and IGSM are two of my absolute favs on Innuendo. I wish there was more of that on there.

Three worst in my humble opinion:
3. In Only Seven Days
2. Everything on the Miracle
1. Body Language
...and Sweet Lady is highly under-rated.

White man is excellent.[/QUOTE]
It is very much a return to the kind of heavy (a la Black Sabbath) style that infused the first album. May's guitar wizardry on the live versions is insane!

Including I Want it All, The Miracle and Was It All Worth It?

I like Calling All Girls, it's a cool song and very reflective of the period I think.

Body Language is in the category of "so bad that it's good".

Yeah, no kidding. Say what you want about the rest, but these three tracks are flawless.

The Miracle is flawless?

I love The Miracle apart from the odd transition to the ending bit. They should have thought of something else. Or make the transition better so that there are no weird drum crossovers and simple fades.

all of them, especially I Want it All. The only Queen album I never bought remastered. I'll take Hot Space over the Miracle any day of the week.

The Miracle is a great recording. I'm surprised how many people don't like this song. If Bob wrote The Miracle is flawless it means this song is flawless :) Even Brian said this is one of Freddie's best composition. And I must admit that odd transition to the ending bit mentioned here by Chief sounds a little bit strange but I like it because they (Freddie I guess) used something which we call polyrhythm. It's quite common in classical music but rather rare in popular music.
I wonder what GregSynth, Sebastian or Thomasquinn32989 think about this song...?

The single version, yes.
The album/video version has that whole other section, which is kind of neat on first glance (and was fun for the kids to mime to in the video), but it doesn't really add much to the song. Besides, it's the exact same tapping solo Brian plays in One Vision, just a fret higher.
The sentiment and arrangement of the single version makes it one of the best pieces in the latter Queen catalog, as far as I'm concerned.

Hmm, have you heard the single version? They cut out this part entirely, and it flows much better.
I heard it for years before I knew the album version existed. I ultimately find the former much more satisfying.
