best song left off greatest hits albums

The BEST songs in my opinion that were missed off were Tie Your Mother Down and Spread Your Wings. But Queen said it's not a 'greatest hit' unless it gets above number 30. The only reason Tie your Mother Down didn't get very high in the charts has to be because of the fact that punk was kicking off (same for 77's Spread your Wings), the song is just brilliant, and it's Queen's best live song, especially when it's played near the end of the show like at Milton Keynes, the last 4 songs (take out AOBTD) are just pure carnage.

But the songs like those, Keep Yourself Alive and Scandal should have gone on Greatest Hits III instead of Another One Bites The Dust with Wyclef.

Also as has been said about 5 times, these albums are NOT Best Of's. They are Greatest Hits. So I Want It All has to go on 'coz it got to number 3, and Now I'm Here got to number 11 or 12.

Love of my life on GH1

Definitely "Tie Your Mother Down." I don't know how it charted, but I've always thought that "Dragon Attack" is often overlooked.

I may get shot down for this but I think 'I Go Crazy' should appear on a comp
I bought Radio Gaga when it came out and thought the b side was way better then and still do now
Good old fashioned over the top tongue in cheeck rocker

lovely!

There's a reason for that...because it wasn't a single.

Greatest Hits 1:

Tie Your Mother Down
Keep Yourself Alive (Not greatest hit but i think it should be on there)
Liar (again think it should be on there)
Spread Your Wings

Greatest Hits II:

Back Chat
Las Palabras De Amor
Scandal

Greatest Hits III:

A Winters Tale
Mother Love

First point....why was Princes Of The Universe included on GH3 when it didn't even chart in the USA?

Anyway, for the greatest hits collections I'd have released "singles" compliations covering every queen uk single release from Keep Yourself Alive to No One But You, splitting it across 3 albums, and released the same format across the rest of the world covering the releases for those countries, i.e. every usa single release for us/canada etc.

It wouldn't be a Greatest Hits compilation but a Singles compilation :P

Tie Your Mother Down, Scandal, Winter's Tale and Spread Your Wings

Keep Yourself Alive always gives me that Rock and Roll feeling

and though it isn't one of their popular or well known songs, i think You Take My Breath Away is beautiful

Tie Your Mother Down
Spread Your Wings
Should be on GH1

Backchat
Is This the world we created
Was it all worth it
Should be on GH2

Elton John, Wyclef Jean, and George Michael should not be on GH3 at all. Mother Love should be! Why isn't it? Mind you it would be easy to just put all of Made in Heaven on GH3 wouldn't it?

Tie your mother down, no doubt about it.
And Bohemian Rhapsody maybe...I don't know, it'd be probably too long for a greatest hits.

Nähä.
