What Queen songs have you really never got into

Firstly, I find Las Palabras de Amor extremely boring, opposite to the general "it's so beautiful and a great song" -attitude..

And I usually skip WWRY/WATC, heard them a thousand times, good songs in some context, but for listening to at home? No way..

I don't care for:

Las palabras de Amor
I go crazy
Is this the world we created
Tear it up
In the lap of the gods
If you can't beat them
Need your loving tonight
It's a hard life
Keep passing the open windows
Heaven for everyone (Freddie vocals)

I can listen to them, but find most of them kind of boring. Others I don't like vocalwise.

a kind of magic - (too soft an boring)
now i'm here - (it's a great live song, but not in studio)
heaven for everyone - (the same like "magic")
stealin' - (sorry guys but this is terrible!)

yes, i think that's it...

These songs are ok but I like most other Queen songs more:

My Fairy King
Now I'm Here
We Are the Champions
Save Me
Scandal
Innuendo
The Show Must Go On

I quite like Save Me it's a strong ballad and We Are The Champions is great i'm sorry but disagree with them two with ya...

Machines (or back to humans)

take care

You Don't Fool Me
Friends Will Be Friends
The Invisible Man

I never really got into Queen II, but now that I listened to it I absolutely love it!

''She makes me''.
Well,it's not the fact that I hate it but I don't find it that good...

Save Me, Now I'm Here, Flash (sorry Brian, they're all your songs but I still love you!), Seven Seas of Rhye, The Invisible Man...

Although I love most of them, and a lot of Brian's songs so no offence to him in any way from what you can see above.

there just one song i really cant stand hearing: Radio Ga Ga. This song is so repetitive and boring, and i really dislike. The chorus makes me think: "Why, why, little brat(the son of roger taylor) did you do this to me?".

Well, I've always despised You Don't Fool Me but most people think I'm crazy when I tell them I'm not a big fan of These are the Days of Our Lives. I don't particularly dislike but I don't particularly like it either.

What are you thinking??? You don´t fool me is a great song (fab guitar solo) and it is said that it isn´t even complet. I´d love to hear it when it´s finished

Delilah, the only song in the whole Queen archive I always skip.

Reading over these, it's hard to think somebody could like Queen and not a song that I love so much. But it makes sense. Queen wrote songs in so many different styles that of course they are going to attract fans with several different tastes.

For me, there were songs I didn't like much at first, but they grew on me. Now the only ones I don't like as much are the ones that are overplayed on the radio, commercials, live, etc. Well, it's not that I don't like them as much, but I don't listen to them as much so that every once in a long while when I listen to it, I can still enjoy it.

I understand why songs like

A Kind Of Magic
Radio Ga Ga
The Invisible Man
You Don't Fool Me
Another One Bites The Dust

are international hits because they're successes in a commercial way.

But for Queen standards they are very, very mediocre to me.

Non-hits I got never into, but I like them though, are:

Sheer Heart Attack
Get Down Make Love
Fun It
Body Language
The Hitman

I don't know, I guess Sleepin on the Sidewalk and My Melancoly Blues were never 'my thing'.
One that i really just don't like is Mad the Swine, it annoys me a little bit. Jesus just makes me laugh (and wonder what they were thinking). Other then that there are songs I sometimes skip because they sometimes seem slow or quite and that doesn't work when I want to listen to something LOUD.
