This is good, honest, critical discussion. You must bear in mind this is
not a Queen list. Most of us are going to be like "underground" types,
at least in our musical taste.  When discussing Queen on this list,
descent into invective is going to be quite hard to avoid.

"no really, I thought We Are The Champions was really jolly good!"
"but surely Fat-Bottomed Girls says more about the nature of human

"Thrice Nay!!! The one about Wanting To Ride His Bicycle was etc etc."

One thing you could say about Mercury was the man had a good sense of
