Queen and genre-crossing

Queen did a lot of work in many, many different genres, from heavy metal to love ballads. What songs and albums do you feel showcase Queen at their best in a given genre?

Some of my choices:

Best psychadelic rock songs:
-Jesus
-The Night Comes Down
-March of the Black Queen

Best psychadelic rock album:
Queen II

Best hard rock/heavy metal songs:
-Ogre Battle
-Stone Cold Crazy
-It's Late

Best hard rock/heavy metal album:
News of the World

Of course, I could go on and on, considering how large Queen's library of work is...What would your list look like?

Best disco song- Back Chat
Best heavy metal/ hard rock song- I Want It All
Best vaudeville caper- Bring Back That Leroy Brown

Id hardly call some of they're work heavy metal.Heavy metal belongs to Metallica,trivium and the likes

In an interview freddie said something about wanting to do reggae? interesting.

Yes, and Freddie did do what he thought was Reggae. His ideas became My Love Is Dangerous.

To be fair, Metallica did do a cover of a Queen song...

Rock in the 70's is/was equivilant to metal in those days

best disco would surely be AOBTD?
best metal.............tough one, rock more like and it would be great king rat or liar?

and of course 'middle of the road' your my best friend. Cool 70s' pop

Oh and by the way, while we talk about Metal. In and after the 80's, when Ozzy was metal, Accept or Judas Priest and even Skid Row or Mötley Crüe, Poison or Halloween...wouldn't you say Gimme The Prize, Princes Of The Universe or The Hitman was metal?

Gimmie the Prize, after Stone Cold Crazy is probably the most metal song they ever did...Princes of the Universe isn't metal, it's glam rock. The Hitman is just hard rock, not metal.
