What is the best Queen album?

Rain Must Fall (in my top 20 of Queen songs)and Khashoggi's Ship are underrated. KS gets panned because of its association with Party. Party gets both barrels because it is an average Queen song mistakenly put as the opening song of the album.

As far as Rain Must Fall goes ... you must be a John basher ... Why do his latin flavored songs get no respect?

I've always enjoyed the flippant, "No one stops my party," in your face attitude of Khasshogi's Ship.

1. A night at the opera
2. A day at the races
3. Sheer heart attack
4, Jazz
5. Innuendo
6. Queen II


and the worst:

1. Hot Space
2. Flash
3. Made in heaven (more a Mercury Solo)
4. A kind of magic

"3. Made in heaven (more a Mercury Solo)"

Duh, this album is dedicated to Freddie, it's beautiful.
My favourites are Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, ANATO, ADATR, Jazz, Hot Space (yes, Hot Space), Innuendo and Made in Heaven.

Queen II all the way baby!!!

A very close second is ADATR

IThankyou!

Sheer Heart Attack.

My favourite album is A Night at the Opera. IMO, this album is as perfect as one can get. Putting aside God Save The Queen, (which can hardly be compared to the vocals), I love all the songs apart from I'm In Love with my Car and Sweet Lady, and I wouldn't replace those songs in any circumstance, as they are still pretty good and are a perfect fit for the album.

My second favourite album is Queen II, followed by the beautiful Made In Heaven in third spot. [img=/images/smiley/msn/heart.gif][/img]

I can't believe the high rankings being given to The Miracle. Let's face it, there are five good songs on there, but the rest to me just sounds like filler, unlike in the earlier days when the songs they released as singles were just as good as the others on the album. Five good songs, but that doesn't mean the album cuts the mustard.

 



I read as well that they had about 40 songs to choose from when they were honing down the list for The Miracle - God knows what the rest of them sounded like if Rain Must Fall and Khashoggi's Ship were at the top of the list!



No wonder they were keen to get on with Innuendo, imagine if The Miracle would have been Freddie's last album, not exactly going out on a high note!

The Miracle is a good album.  But then again there are only about 2 or 3 Queen songs that I actually don't like [img=/images/smiley/msn/tounge_smile.gif][/img]

made in heaven, a mercury solo?...that's a odd statement.  Do you know that the three members of queen worked hard on that CD,  and made good songs out of basically leftovers?

I always thought of the miracle as one of queens weakest albums, but I do agree that "KS" and rain must fall get bashed to much,   though not all time favorites of mine.  Both are still good songs.  Rain must fall has some nice sounds musically,   and of course vocally.

1. The Works
2. A Kind Of Magic
3. Hot Space
4. Jazz
5. Queen II
6. The Game
7. Day At The Races
8. A Night At The Opera
9. Sheer Heart Attack
10. The Miracle
11. Queen I
12. Made In Heaven
13. Innuendo
14. News Of the World
15. Flash Gordon

To me from best to worst...

I would say News of the world. It had many emotional and touching songs like All dead, All dead, Spread your wings, and My melancholy blues. And if I may suggest My Melancholy Blues is one of the greatest Queens songs ever

My melancholy Blues is one of my all time favorite songs, a masterpiece.  My little queen list is as follows.

Queen2
A night at the opera
A day at the races/Sheer heart attack  (Can't Decide)
Queen
News of the world/Innuendo (can't decide)
THE GAME/JAZZ  (can't decide)
MADE IN HEAVEN  (Beautiful Album)
HOT SPACE  (underated, one of freddie's best vocal albums)
A kind of magic
The works
The miracle
The cosmos rocks  (not a queen album, but has some nice ballads)
Flash  (the hero rules!)

Queen 1
Queen 2
The Works
Hot Space.

And last, but not lease, Live Killers.

For me, best albums were last 3, Miracle, Innuendo and Made in Heaven. Kind of Magic was also awesome.
