If 'The Game' was Queen's first album...

Staying Power is the best song on Hot Space, in my opinion. Back Chat is a top track from the album, as well. I'm actually surprised neither of them became hits.

Staying Power had potential...The chorus and horns...Those lyrics needed work though...

Much preferred the live version of Staying Power than the album version. Still that wouldn't change the lyrics though! :)

I don't have a horse in the disco / rock race, but certainly prefer the preposterousness of the 'disco' stuff on HS.

As for the first question - probably not. An elvis pastiche by an unknown band, followed by a disco tune 4 years too late. Hmmmm..

I'm thinking if that was their first record, something contemporary like Coming Soon would be a single. Then you can basically look at The Knack for career trajectory.

These are great replies

anobody in for "Dancer" ?

Dancer could have been a hit!

Although I don’t like the studio version of Staying Power on Hot Space, I’m really digging the more rock orientated live rendition of it during the ‘82 gigs.

Lame question with lamer answers

Oh hi Mr Right
