Teo Torriate would have been a better choice than Good Old fasioned lover boy.

Friends Will Be Friends should have never been a single, it shouldn't even been put on any album or even released.
"I'm Just A Musical Prostitute My Dear" Freddie Mercury, 1984
i dont agree with this statement at all we're Queen fans and we should be complimenting their music not critising the music!!!!!!!!

I'd say Queen is like Led Zeppelin or
Pink Floyd , you should listen to the
whole album to get the full Queen experience. Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were never into singles .In fact I don't think
Led Zeppelin ever released a single in
the U.K. .

Well, Another One Bites The Dust has never been my favourite, so I say no more...

I don't think Zep release ANY singles anywhere did they? didn't they take that as a principle?

I think this is where we can easily justify the importance of promo videos.

Now, I can watch the videos of The Miracle, Slightly Mad, Headlong etc all day and every day but without theses images, granted these are not possibly their strongest tracks.

The video for slightly Mad helps bring these hilarious images to mind when you listen to it but would the song be as well respected without this.

I will leave that open to debate.


Indead the first time I heared I'm Going Slightly Mad, I thought like what a boring song. But then I saw it with the clip and I loved it. Same with The Miracle. However Headlong has a weak clip.


I had exactly the opposite experience. I heard both Slightly Mad and The Miracle before watching the videos, and thought what good songs they were. However I am only just starting to like them again, after being put off by watching the videos too much!

On the subject of the topic, I do think that Queen made some mistakes over which songs they released as singles sometimes. However I ususally like songs that were not released as singles more anyway, simply because variety is the spice of life, and some songs you just hear too much! Saying that, there are obviously some songs that you can never get tired of, but I make a point of not listening to BoRhap too much because I don't want to get bored of such a great song!
oberon : Led Zeppelin released singles in
North America . In the U.K. things are
usually a bit different. Case in point:
in the early 1970's T-Rex were the biggest thing since sliced bread in the U.K. ,but
here in North America well let's just say ..not so big .



SORRY I WENT OFF ON A TANGENT THIS IS
SUPPOSED TO BE A SITE ABOUT QUEEN .

Was Body Language released as a single? If it was, then I don't know what's worse for me: Another One Bites The Dust (which I've always said is not my favourite) or Body Language.

Well, I dislike Hammer to Fall & Fat Bottomed Girls.But it doesn´t means that those are bad songs. Its a point of view isnt it?
Ale Mexico
Yeah it is a point of view.
Because I really love fat bottomed girls.
Another of my favourite song is Tie you mother down....
That really rocks.
Always look at the bright side of life....
