oops, wrong Works. EmbarrassedLOL

Really? 
Then it means you like Hot Space more? Well then, you've got some Clap from me. Tongue

Yep!

At least Hot Space was an attempt to try something new. And while it didn't always work (there's some really cringey stuff on it), there were quite a few tracks I still enjoyed - Action This Day, Staying Power, Under Pressure, Put Out the Fire, etc. Not to mention, the album was one of the biggest inspirations for Michael Jackson's Thriller - that's gotta count for something!

The Works on the hand, is so desperate to recapture past glories in my opinion. Man on the Prowl is just discount Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Radio Ga Ga captures all the worst aspects of 80s pop rock. There are still a few good tracks like Hammer to Fall and I Want to Break Free, but The Works is the one Queen album I never want to revisit whenever I marathon their discog.

Yeah sorry, I'm kinda passionate when discussing Queen. They're in my top 5 bands of all time LOL

I also love Queen, always have. 
I've always loved Radio Gaga, never had any issue with it. Also best song on The works is the overlooked Keep Passing the Open Windows, the hidden gem of the album. 

Glad to see another Queen lover here; I actually vouched for a long time for them to become a full-fledged prog band on the site. Obviously that never happened LOL

In any case, I respect your opinion. And I do enjoy a lot of their later work in general. The Miracle has excellent tracks like Breakthru and I Want It All, not to mention the kickass closer Was It All Worth It. Meanwhile, Innuendo is one of my top 5 Queen albums ever. Such a great way to go out for Freddie Big smile
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

I've never listened to Love Beach, but based on what I've read about it, I can't imagine it being preferable to one of my all-time favourite albums. So I'll vote for Brain Salad Surgery anyway.
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Love Beach easily wins here for me, mainly because it features one of my all-time favourite ELP songs. Heart

I bet it's Tarkus, though I'll be delighted if you say it's the debut. Wink

It is Tarkus (despite a few questionable songs on side B), although the debut is my second favorite Big smile And then BSS and Trilogy are fighting for the third spot after that

It must have been P.Paul and 2 other alter-egos. Nobody else would vote for it.

Mind you, he'd be proud to tell us that he'd voted for it.Confused

BSS just has so many annoying parts as the band is playing at odds with itself and the over use of Moog just glosses over the issues. Love Beach is the 5 star masterpiece , Keith was obviously high on something to not recognise it at the time.
I think you were high on something when you wrote this Richard. LOL

You've never heard the word naff?! Naff off

Anyway, based on Richard's post I will have to check out this Love Beach album....

no, I haven't. 
Where would I hear it? Where would i hear British slang? Maybe in a British movie or something. And if there was, I probably missed it.
