I personally slotted it in between WWRY and WATC in my fantasy setlist, where FWBF was in Magic Tour.

Don't Lose Your Head, then. I have to say, not a favourite.
Always thought I'd be something more..

I think it is- limp soul/disco written partly by John Deacon, two definite criteria for a Queen filler I think.

Well, the title of the song is just really weird, nearly creepy, but that can also be an advantage?

I've always thought the complete opposite. John didn't write very many but the few he wrote were incredible in my mind. Far from filler material, with the exception of Misfire. But to each his own, I guess.

pain and pleasure is a good tune, it would have made a good freddie and john solo track. the only filler on AKOM is don't lose your head.
No such a thing as a filler on a Queen album

Yes, well John was by far the weakest song writer in my view. I detest I Want To Break Free and songs like You're my best friend are cutesy enough but are nothing more than ditty pop. Actually, on listening to it, I quite like Pain/Pleasure now.

That's a silly thing to say- even great bands have their uneventful moments

A filler is usually a song written because they don't have enough material to fill the album ,I'm pretty sure they had more than enough songs to fill any album .I'll try not to be silly next time.
I love the song. Get's me in the party mood hehe.
It seems to have more of a funk feel rather than rock

still its a good song

Just listened to Khashoggi's and it's not that bad, really. I used to dismiss it because of Party, which is a terrible song, I guess the worst on the album. Khashoggi begins after the worst song on the LP and is followed by one of the best - maybe that's why it's often overlooked.
