Original poster, it looks like you haven't really divided opinion and this topic is far more boring than you might think. It has been done to death here (Hot Space - great or bad). Just like on previous occasions, there are quite a few people who actually like some of the songs on Hot Space, I am one of them. Among these pretty good tracks, I'd name UP, Cool Cat, Las Palabras, Dancer and Put Out the Fire. Staying Power is also pretty good live.

Freddie

closet Brian fan, perhaps?
also, you've illustrated perfectly the point people have been trying to make to you trolls for years:
Freddie's early-mid 80's output was the poor product of a clubbing hedonist, too lazy to work at his art.
Standing ovation.
Most criticism of Brian, or rather expression of disappointment relates to his career/music choices since the turn of the millennium and some peculiar ego and personality traits that have emerged in the last few years.Not his music during Queen's active years.

Criticism by about 20 people on internet forums.
Back in reality, Brian remains one of the most respected people in the biz.
I assume thats to be taken as an additional point only because it doesnt counter anything in mine.

i think you've misread the reply. RW's reply covered ALL of your comments, succinctly with three words:
Back in Reality.
My comment of “most criticism” obviously only applies to the rationale of those that criticise.
Not of those that don’t.
You are totally disingenuous. Or deliberately obtuse. Or senile ? Or just illogical.
By the way I like Brian May.
You are on record as saying you don’t,
So when are you and “Bob” going to have a heart to heart on that.

and you're just hopping from one argument to another - just to cause trouble. are you sure you're not a close relation of Gerry?
i may have said i disagree with some of his viewpoints/decisions. there's even a number of his songs i don't like.
...but that is not disliking the person.

I do not hate May you dickhead he is a guitar legend but he is my least fave member and he sadly lost the plot by now. And now fuck off and let those talk about the music who have a clue. You are obviously not one of them you sad prick

I would listen to The Cosmos Rocks before I would listen to Hot Space. Hot Space and Flash Gordon are my least favorite Queen albums.
Hot Space is great it was my first Queen album - and you are an idiot (but we knew that b4)
Always fun to pop in here and read what this clown is saying.
Weckwerth, if that was the first Queen album you bought, and you think it's great, fuck knows what shit you must have been into at the time.
I like the album, but I don't think it's a great album. It's more adventuress than what followed, but not only is not on the same page, it's not in the same book as what they'd recorded through the 70's.
As you are clearly a deaf dum and blind idiot you surely dont know whats good or whats not - in 1982 it was ahead of its time and regardless to taste (which is what music is all about) it was very daring for a band like Queen. And if you sad fucktart did not know it by know - QUeen experimented with LOTS of styles be it opera, Pomp, Heavy. Vaudeville of pop(/funk, which is what side 1 is all about. Side 2 is a continuation of The Game. No need to thank me for another Queen lesson asshole

Stones for me are just one dimensional. Rock n roll. How many bands would have taken the utter gamble Queen did with Hot Space?
Those who hate HS never got the idea qhat Queen were all about

He has become a laughing stock for 20 years now and did not produce a single worthwhile album since then

Spoken with the knowledge of someone who doesn't know him and has never met him, or anyone else in the music industry.
You're at odds with most, if not all, the people who know Brian May.
