Someone was saying something about the longest post ever...? Well, here goes...
I astonish myself by actually taking a part in this conversation, but I have to express myself on this matter. As I have been reading this nonsense, I've developed a disturbing analysis of you posters here: I'd say, about 15% of all of you are actual fans of Queen (and about half of that 15% appreciates Queen's music for reasons I find appropriate), and as for the rest of you, I can not imagine for what reason should you call yourselves fans, or even consider yourselves worthy of commenting on Queen's music as harshly as some of you do. Of course, I acknowledge the fact that everyone has a right for their opinion, but please, consider the merits for your opinions very carefully before you actually lay it out for everyone. I can't think of anything as infuriating as reading an opinion which just states one's dislike as elaborately as "I just don't like it" or, "I don't like the sound of it." For instance, all that hate towards Cool Cat... some do say they hate the falsetto thing, I just happen to think the song is a wonderful composition and very relaxing, and I couldn't think of a better song to listen to while driving on a convertible whatever on a sunset somewhere in Los Angeles perhaps, which I never do, since I don't live there. Besides, Freddie's falsetto voice is probably the best of the kind I ever heard. And honestly, could you ever consider that song to be performed in a regular singing voice? I have never disliked any Queen song just because I didn't like the sound of it. Before I learned to appreciate every single song this group ever made, I used to listen and analyse and think about what were each track's merits to be released on the album. I have been a fan since early 1992, and I have since become a semi-professional musician myself, and even though I have become a fan for so many other great acts since, such as Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, Suzanne Vega, The Beatles, Frank Zappa, Björk, Tom Waits, Blue Öyster Cult, Radiohead, Dave Matthews Band, Blur, Rainbow and such, I never ceased to appreciate Queen the most. But to tell the absolute truth, only recently I have learned to like the one track I never before learned to love from the Queen catalogue: Body Language.
So, in order to keep the subject at hand dealt with in my post, I shall give you a chronological list and reasons for my least favourite... well, not really least favorite, but the least appropriate Queen tracks on every album, even though I thoroughly enjoy every single track for a reason or another.
QUEEN: Seven Seas Of Rhye. Of course, it's nice to have this short instrumental version, but I don't see the use for this one, at least as the last track of the debut album. I know it was intended to be included on the same album as the vocal version, but something went wrong and I think the instrumental version just lost a bit of its meaning for that.
QUEEN II: Seven Seas Of Rhye. It's such a separate track from everything else on this album. It doesn't quite fit the concept.
SHA: Dear Friends. Being such a beautiful piece of music, it just sort of gives a "huh?" feeling in the middle of all the hard rocking.
ANATO: This album is the most perfect wholeness of music ever created, but I have to choose God Save The Queen, because it's not a Queen original.
ADATR: This album doesn't go far from ANATO. I refuse to pick a song from this album.
NOTW: We Will Rock You. Although it truly is a wonderful anthemic sort of song, I can't help feel a bit bored of it, because it's pretty much everywhere. And I have to ask... Why try to recreate the song a dozen times when the original is so perfect?
JAZZ: More Of That Jazz. Roger has a nice way of saying things, but I fear that the composition is not powerful enough to support the message. Great way to end an album, though.
GAME: Everything fits here, I can't pick a song.

I think Fun it, and Dreamers Ball from Jazz are both awesome.
Delilah. Definitely Delilah. Sorry Freddie. I'm sure she was a very nice cat.
