There are Queen songs I dislike more than MOTP. I will never understand why some people take the right to judge other peoples taste!

Well This is human nature.
There is only one album in Queen's discography that I listen to less than the rest of Queen's albums.

I had a pirate cassette with the The Works album, and given the small print, I thought “L” is “!” and thought for a long time that the song is called Man On the Prow.Funny, isn't it?

You're welcome buddy.

Man on the Prowl would have been a shit single for Queen, but I'm sure Shakin Stevens would have turned it into a hit at the time, had Freddie the wisdom to dispose of it to him.

True, that was his speciality, of course! But yeah, I think it would have fitted him like a glove.

I sometimes get in the mood for MOTP but it does indeed suffer from not being CLTCL.

Could imagine him busting a few moves to it!

I love it more than Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Just because Freddie wrote in that vintage style, it doesn’t mean Freddie was copying Crazy Little Thing Called Love, so I don’t get what the problem with people is.

MOTP is OK, but not to release as a single.

KPTOW has more hitpotential to me, even though I think that is the weakest song on the album. but this song sounds more like what people like to hear.

Eh...I like it well enough but The Works was the beginning of Freddie seeming to lose his touch as a "hit-maker". He seemed spent as a creative force and also this was the first album where his voice sounded markedly deteriorated. Low...rough...lacking the clarity of the past. It's the same with It's a Hard Life which many compare to Play the Game. I much prefer Play the Game just for Freddie's more youthful voice and delivery alone...plus it sounds more lushly produced and yet it is 4 years older which reminds me of something else...

The production values on MOTP, Tear It Up, It's a Hard Life aren't exactly "radio-ready"...almost sound like demos it's markedly plain after the lush, almost perfect production of the Album opener Radio Ga Ga.
