If Bob wrote The Miracle is flawless it means this song is flawless :)

Flattering, thanks !

But alas, I'm just one person, and my word isn't gospel.

The Miracle as an album is one of my least favorites, the first two tracks are weak by Queen standards, Invisible Man is horrible even though the guitar solo is great, and My Baby Does is Me is weak. I do like the title track, Brian May has good taste once it comes to Freddie songs. He likes MIH also one of my favorites. The Miracle does have a few other good ones. Every Queen album has solid tracks.

I wonder what GregSynth, Sebastian or Thomasquinn32989 think about this song [The Miracle]...?

I really like it. It's clever and subtle, and the arrangement is quite detailed. I can see why Frederick was also fond of it.

Other tracks I like on it are I Want It All, Was It All Woth It? And Breakthru/scandal. I think it edges out Hot Space for me because it has more stand out songs. HS has Under Pressure and then a bunch of middle of the road or poor songs. I do like Cool Cat and Back Chat, but not as much as the stronger Miracle songs. Rain Must Fall is a guilty pleasure for me, I wonder if John wrote this song with Freddie in mind.

I think the Miracle (the song) is OK. Not a favorite of mine - but I hear the effort put into it.

I Want It All and Was It All Worth It are great songs.

There's no 3 worst Queen songs for me.

I Want It All is a great Rocker, with a capital C. On the downside, it could faired better with a slightly less keyboard or synth. Freddie's voice is quite stunning, very strong!

Would have loved to have heard Freddie's live rendition of I Want It All.

Dear Friends, Body Language and Mustapha

I like the ending of The Miracle . It's unusual.

Dear Friends???

Good God, man, your opinion is your opinion, but man...

Dear Friend is such a beauty.

Another vote for the ending of the Miracle being good. It's weird on first listen but I like it a lot. Maybe could've been a longer fade out (CMI - maybe something for your Miracle reissue?) and placed at the end of side one and a nice finale.

I can see the problem with Dear Friends. A bit sickly, but again, I can live with that.

Not a huge fan of Dear Friends. Doesn't feel like it goes anywhere, compared with the intense highs & lows of Lily of the Valley.

Well, I it's basically a lullaby. I think it's a perfect song actually - short, well written and perfectly executed.
