April 8, 20232 yr Ouch! One of Brian May's best songs, there, though not quite up with We Will Rock You or '39 off A Night At The Opera, which should have been a single.
April 9, 20232 yr 'Friends Will Be Friends' is the best of that trio out today but 'You Don't Fool Me' is aight too.
April 9, 20232 yr You Dont Fool Me is under-rated, but is a bit too dance-ish I guess, and I like all the Highlander movie stuff.
April 9, 20232 yr Author 38th - Backchat, 1982 Score: 337 Average score: 16.85 Highest: 37 - Brer Lowest: 0 - AH Gold Polyhex entry: 21/08/1982 Queen Backchat 40 48-{40}-46-60->4 y6QGP0OUaV4 The 4th single from the "Hot Space" album, generally considered one of their weaker albums, this just scraped into the Top 40. The track has a funk influence to it and belonged to a phase when John Deacon experimented with different genres.
April 9, 20232 yr Author 37th - The Invisible Man, 1989 Score: 356 Average score: 17.80 Highest: 39 - AH Gold Lowest: 0 - Roba. Polyhex entry: 19/08/1989 Queen The Invisible Man 12 26-{12}-16-31-44-71->6 zKdxd718WXg The 3rd single from "The Miracle", this notably features all the band members' names in the lyrics and has an interesting video game themed video.

April 9, 20232 yr 'Back Chat' is pretty good, nice and funky. 'The Invisible Man' I thought I didn't mind either but on more than one listen it actually sounded worse than I thought oops.
April 9, 20232 yr Author 36th - A Winter's Tale, 1995 Score: 356 Average score: 17.80 Highest: 42 - jimwatts Lowest: 1 - awardinary Polyhex entry: 23/12/1995 Queen A Winter's Tale 6 {6}-13-21-41-59-74->6 CjWQZBmJf6M This psychedelic feeling song was not released until December 1995, but written by Mercury shortly before his death in 1991. He recorded the vocals in a small house apparently, but the track was not put together until much later.
April 9, 20232 yr I started following the charts after Five Live EP, so Heaven For Everyone and A Winter's Tale were the first Queen songs to chart in that time - maybe that's why I have a soft spot for them, but the latter is so poignant yet polished it felt like Freddie's last hurrah.

April 10, 20232 yr pretty happy with most of the ones left - except Bicycle Race which just is so annoying, Tie Your Mother Down which was always a mistake to release as a single...

April 10, 20232 yr too bad no one else liked You Don't Fool Me, most under-rated Queen song ever I liked it as well. Not classic Queen obviously but still decent for what it was.
April 10, 20232 yr and I liked all of those 'Las Palabras..' & 'The Miracle' I found myself coming back to quite a bit during and after I had ranked. Again not essential Queen but very decent ones nonetheless. 'Thank God Its Christmas' is the one obviously you'll have heard longer but it's solid albeit not among the great Christmas classics.
