Maybe you should buy the album and then you'll see that it ISN'T a brilliant album. Barcelona is great, but Mr Bad Guy has some really bad eighties-crap on it IMO.[/QUOTE]
I do happen to have the entire album. The song that I think is closest to '80s crap' is Let's Turn It On... (and I still like the song.) Made In Heaven and I Was Born To Love You are songs that are used later in Queen album. Foolin' Around and Living On My Own are my favorites, '80s crap' or not. I like Your Kind Of Lover for two reasons: the intro piano, and the intro vocal. Mr Bad Guy is a little simplistic... repetitive. Man Made Paradise and There Must Be More To Life Than This are the two 'most likable' songs in the list. (Man Made Paradise for the last bit of falsetto and There Must Be... for the entire song - reminds me of One Year of Love).
I'm not quite sure what '80s crap' means anyways. I understand how 70s and 80s Queen differ - arrangement, multi tracking and programmed sounds. FM solo could be improved a lot better by having a good instrumental part or mix. But I still like the album really a lot. There's no reason why his album should be called 'crap'.

Corrections to last post, since I can't seem to edit my own message.
I forgot two other songs My Love Is Dangerous and Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow... I really appreciate the latter one but the former, I don't care for it a lot.
And In My Defence/Great Pretender/etc. are all contained in another album (Great Pretender)... and I like that album also.
But you are right in one aspect - if I didn't know anything about Queen, I wouldn't have gotten the album.
