All Queen albums had at least one filler.
'The Works' is a very underated album. It might have been better received perhaps if it included 'I Go Crazy'.
I have to say that I truly dislike 'Machines (Back To Humans), and Keep Passing The Open Windows, but I think the rest of the album is superb.
You're right, The Works definitely is underrated. Even though it is short, it's still a strong album. Hammer To Fall, Radio Ga Ga, It's A Hard Life and I Want To Break Free are all classics, but Is This The World We Created? and Tear It Up are good, too.
fillers:
Queen I: none
QUEEN II: none
SHA: SMM
ANATO: Sweet Lady, extremely out of place
ADATR: none
NOTW: GDML
Jazz: Fun It, MOTJ(end part mash), Mustapha(although i luv it, it's a filler, they could've start the album with FBG)
GAME: Coming Soon
FG: All except Football Fight,Battle Theme, Flash's Theme and The Hero xD...hehehe
HS: LIR, ATD
WORKS: TIU, M(OBTH), MOTP
AKOM: OYOL, PISCTP, DLYH
MIRACLE: RMF, MBDM
INNUENDO: ...hard one....Hitman..Delilah
MIH: track 12 and track 13 :P

some good ones there fairy king, i especially dont like the fg album apart fromthe ones u mentioned, i like action and coming soon tho good rockers! nice post
I only like two songs here: Keep Passing and Machines. The rest I hate it. Ga Ga & Break Free: pop crap. Tear It Up: even though I love hard rock and things like that, I hardly ever enjoy Brian`s efforts in that, I usually don`t like his style, too pentatonic perhaps... I love his ballads though.
Hammer To Fall: as a song, I love it (i.e. the chord progressions, the modulation, the lyrics). But as a recording I hate it. Way too slow. The harmonies are well-constructed but imho ruin the mood. I prefer by far the live versions and even more Brian`s one in BTTL tour. Even if Fred was better singer than Brian, imo Brian developed it better. No wonder, he wrote it, no-one but him could exactly perform it in all its greatness. I hate the AW version.
Is This The World - dull imo. Nice message, poor music and costruction. Prowl - I never enjoyed rockabilly, there are some few pieces that I like in that genre, but this one doesn`t make part of that group.
All in all The Works is my least favourite Queen album.
