Ade Eyemond Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 BEST:- 1) Radio Ga Ga 2) Bohemian Rhapsody 3) Love of my Life 4) A Kind of Magic 5) Somebody to Love BTW- All of the above are even better live WORST:- 1) Killer Queen 2) Innuendo 3) Machines (or back to humans) 4) I`m going Slightly Mad 5) Delilah - More embarassing than bad really To Be Fair, most of "Innuendo" could have got a mention, a glaringly obvious rush release if ever there was one.

Akritoi Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 A thread I know about! I won't be as impressive as BA and say about the band members as indivuals, I'll just say about the band as a whole. Best 5. Breakthrough 4. Who wants to Live forever? 3. Don't stop me now 2. Headlong 1. Hammer to Fall Worst Wouldn't say I had any Queens songs that I hated, but I've got five that I don't like as much. 5. I'm going slightly mad 4. Flash 3. A kind of Magic 2. I want to break free 1. Good old fashioned Lover Boy On the whole though, Queen has got to be the best band I have ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Eyemond Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 And how would you know, you only saw them on video Aye, that`s right - rub it in, ya bam ! Wembley `86 must`ve been amazing ! That said, agree with a lot of your choices, except I`ve never understood the adulation bestowed on"39" - a clever song, yes, but I don`t think it`s that good. I would also say "You`re my best friend" deserves a mention in the Deacon section. And "Crazy little thing called love" in the "worst" section ?!?!!! The game`s all about opinions, I suppose !

Follow that Livi Nah! Wouldn't even try! I bow to your superior knowledge of all things Queen, and can find nothing to argue with in your post (except Another One Bites the Dust). TBH, I was never really much of an aficionado, but people who slag them off just piss me off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 A thread I know about! Naw you dinnae Stanley as you choices proved. Ade, to be honest, 39 is my favourite of the lot but it also has deeper meanings for me that just the lyrics, will leave it at that Wembley 86 was brilliant, as was St James Park 86 and Ingleston Showground in 82. Now thats how to really rub it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviClyde Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 And "Crazy little thing called love" in the "worst" section ?!?!!! The game`s all about opinions, I suppose ! Totally concur with BA's opinion - the song was an affront to our intelligence (well mine anyway ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akritoi Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Naw you dinnae Stanley as you choices proved. Hammer to Fall is a great song all about the last stand. Headlong is good on a motorway with the sound up. What ones were pish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Eyemond Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Totally concur with BA's opinion - the song was an affront to our intelligence (well mine anyway ) Thought it was just a happy go lucky, singalong type standard myself. Never really been one for "deep" lyrics and all that self indulgent stuff myself, but as I said, to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Eyemond Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Hammer to Fall is a great song all about the last stand. Nuclear Holocaust I was always led to beleive ? Agree it`s a good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akritoi Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Nuclear Holocaust I was always led to beleive ?Agree it`s a good song. That as well "Here we stand, and here we fall, history won't care at all" It just really strikes up connotations with Thermopolye (or however the feck you spell it) where the 200 Spartans fought.
