Only counting actual albums here so that eliminates live albums, greatest hits and Flash Gordon because it only has two songs on it that aren't instrumentals.
14. A Kind Of Magic: Never really liked it as a whole, though there are some good songs like One Vision, Friends Will Be Friends, Who Wants To Live Forever, and Princes Of The Universe. Sorry if this irritates some fans but I hate A Kind Of Magic the song - total crap.
13. Hot Space: Although I really like Staying Power (which is incredible live ex. Milton Keynes), Under Pressure and Life Is Real. Las Palabras de Amor is also good and I would've liked to have heard Freddie sing this live. The rest of the album isn't very good.
12. Jazz: I like this album with the exception of Leaving Home Ain't Easy and the worst Queen album song opener Mustapha. Fat Bottomed Girls, Let Me Entertain You, Bicylce Race, and Don't Stop Me Now all rule. Fun It is alright, though I liked hearing Freddie and Roger trading vocals.
11. Made In Heaven: If it were for sentimental purposes, this album would be near the top. However it consists of some songs that weren't Queen songs put onto an album of Queen (I Was Born To Love You, Made In Heaven, Too Much Love Will Kill You and Heaven For Everyone although the last two are two of my all time favorites. Let Me Live and Mother Love are great. You Don't Fool Me is incredibly bad for a single.
10. Queen: Nice debut but some albums were better. Liar, Keep Yourself Alive, Great King Rat, and My Fairy King are the best songs on Queen. Jesus is okay but bad for a Freddie song (then again he did write Funny How Love Is). Father To Son is okay and the rest is sub-par.
9. Sheer Heart Attack: It is a good album but doesn't flow real well. It goes from the heavy Stone Cold Crazy right into a ballad, Dear Friends. IMO, Stone Cold Crazy should've ended the album. Brighton Rock is okay but would've preferred an actual song when you can hear Brian's solo at virtually every gig he plays at. Killer Queen, Flick Of The Wrist, Lilly Of The Valley, and Stone Cold Crazy are the best. Now I'm Here isn't great though it's better live.
8. The Miracle: I would've loved to hear the singles from this album live and it's one of my favorites but the other seven are better. Breakthru, I Want It All, and Scandal are my top three faves from this one. My Baby Does Me is terrible. and the rest is not bad. Chinese Torture is a weird instrumental but I like it.
7. News Of The World: Good album but WWRY/WATC should've closed the album not opened it. Spread Your Wings and It's Late are my favorites along with WWRY and WATC. Brian's two songs are two of his best on any Queen album. All Dead, All Dead is beautiful although I hear it's about a cat or something. Get Down Make Love is dumb as is Fight From The Inside.
6. Queen II: Some say this is the best of all time. Like The Game this one could be top three depending on my mood. The March Of the Black Queen was the Bohemian Rhapsody of it's time - awesome song. Whie Queen is a touching ballad. Seven Seas Of Rhye, Ogre Battle, and Nevermore are good. I never really liked Father To Son, Some Day One Day, or Funny How Love Is. Actually take that back. Father To Son is good as well.
5. A Day At The Races: Again I Don't agree with those who say this is the best. My faves are Teo Torriatte, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, Somebody To Love, and You Take My Breath Away. Long away is good as are White Man and The Millionaire Waltz. Drowse and You And I are kinda dull compared to the rest. Great Album nonetheless.
4. The Game: Depending on my mood this one could be number one or at least in the top three. Crazy Little Thing Called Love is awesome as are Save Me, Play The Game, Need Your Lovin' Tonight, and Dragon Attack. Don't Try Suicide is terrible. Sail Away Sweet Sister is tied with Long Away and '39 for my favorite songs that Brian sings. Another One Bites The Dust is good but not the best. Overall the album i

Hmm, difficult one...some albums have good songs, but are in general a bit less than perfect. So I rate them in how often I listen to that particular album.

1 News of the world (very balanced, dramatic but not overloaded)
1 Queen II (...sends shivers down my spine!)
3 Sheer Heart Attack (a few gems – SCC, LOTV, KQ... – and some good songs)
3 A Night at the Opera (not overall perfect ... but almost)
5 The Game (has its very own charm)
6 Queen (thrilling, yet far from perfect)
7 Innuendo
8 A Day at the Races
9 Jazz (DSMN is one of my all time favourites, but the rest ... not)
10 Hot Space (quite some good little songs there, some quite boring ones)
11 The Works (overall mediocre, no highlight)
11 The Miracle (can't get into it)
11 A Kind of Magic (not bad, but ...)
I was a great fan from 1978 to 1981, then there came Hot Space ... I just turned back to queen recently – what a delight to hear all that beautiful music again. Maybe I have to listen to the 80's albums more often.
