Okay wether The Game is or isnt your favourite album, what's your favourite songs from it?

This album isnt one of my favourites but it's still GREAT just like the others.
The reason being is, they lost abit of there rock n roll feel on this album and there next album to come which was Hot Space (I still like that album too).

So i was just wondering what's your best songs on this album.

Heres mine:
Dragon Attack - The bass is great on here!

Rock It (Prime Jive) - Alot of stuff going on here, Roger and Freddie together makes it much better.

Dont Try Suicide - This song has a clear message to everyone, again the bass is good.

Sail Away Sweet Sister - This song is one of my faves of Brians, it's the best song on this album for me, i guess.

Coming Soon - I always thought this song was great for adverts, it's very catchy.

Those two are my favourite songs from The Game :)
I love 'sail away'

and 'rock it'is such an upbeat ''feelgood'' song.
I always listen to it before i go out or before a performance.

it psyches you up!
Just like 'don't stop me now'.

But that's not on that album....
I actually love this album. I don't think I can pick one song as a favorite. They flow so well into one another that the album is like one never-ending song for me.

If I HAD to choose one.... hmmm... Dragon Attack. Or... Save Me. Or... Crazy Little Thing. Or...

Me too.
I got through phases with albums.

One week all I'll listen to is (for example)

'Jazz' and then the next week i'll listen to 'The game' or 'innuendo'.

It's bizarre!
I love Save Me and Sail Away Sweet Sister: amazing harmonies, wonderful bass, great guitar work, simple-but-nice piano & synths, nice drumming.

Those two are my favourites, I love Need Your Loving as well (the song, not so much the recording).

Never been particularly fond of Dragon Attack.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
*gasp*

:o

Shock Horror!

I like that song....

lol

each to their own....
I think The Game is a great album, but not my favorite. If i should name some songs I really like from this album it would be Dragon Attack, Another One Bites The Dust, Rock It, Sail Away Sweet Sister, Coming Soon and Save Me.

ok, as you see I picked many songs, and that is because the album is damn good, so are the songs.
heyheyheyhey, it was the DNA...
- Save me
- Sail away sweet sister
- Don't try suicide
- Another one bites the dust
- Dragon attack
- Crazy littel thing called love

Never been very fond of 'Play the game', actually...

Same here. The video is funny though.
1. Save Me
2. Play The Game (typical Freddie song, great !!!)

I also like Another One Bites the dust, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Sail Away Sweet Sister. the rest of the album isn`t very good.

THE typical Queen album were the single releases are far better than the whole album.
I would say Dragon Attack...The Game and The Works are the only albums where I dont know more than 5 songs

I actually think these are the weakest songs on the album, save Sail Away Sweet Sister, which is surely one of the best. Though I have warmed up to Rock It (Prime Jive) and Coming Soon in the past couple of years. Not that I DISLIKE any of these songs, of course.

My picks:

1. Another One Bites the Dust
2. Need Your Loving Tonight
3. Sail Away Sweet Sister
4. Play the Game

Of course Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Save Me are great songs, but I think I'm a bit worn out on them, so I left them off the list.

I agree :-)

Every track on this album is great in it's own right. This was my induction album, so I know it probably better than any others. Instead, I'd like to list what I don't like about THE GAME. Much shorter list:

1. PTG - The sound effects in the middle. Sounds like Asteroids or Galaxian. The ones at the top are okay though.

2. DA - The fact that Hollywood added the rap in the remix. The original is gold.

3. ABTD - Again the sound effects are a little too much. And I would have grabbed the cymbal on that last hit. End it even more abruptly.

4. NYLT - Too much effect on Freddie's voice? Then again, makes it sound more 50s be-bop.

5. CLTCL - The two breakdowns should have been more percussively different.

6. RI(PJ) - More Freddie. Roger was fine.

7. DTS - Could've had a real nice long funky guitar thingy during this. Maybe mimic some of Freddie's lines with it.

8. SASS - More effect on Brian's voice. Maybe a doubler during his lower register notes.

9. CS - Too short

10. SM - Maybe leave the electric off this solo. The acoustic solo was going so well.
