March of the Black Queen
White Queen (as it began)
The Prophets Song
Somebody to Love
Bycicle Race/Fat Bottomed Girls
Death on 2 Legs
I'm in Love With My Car
Bohemian Rhapsody
Mustaphe
 
No particular order
 
Eclectic songwriting (although like 10 CC, often bordering pastiche)
good musicianship and showmanship.
Decadent (right from the debut) yet strangely original
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

The Works is a diamond in the rough patch of their eighties period, I think. It's a great hard rock album, surrounded by mediocre records like "A Kind of Magic" and "The Miracle." While both of those albums have great songs on them, they contain too much filler to be really noteworthy. I agree with you about The Works, though.

1. Under Pressure - Incidentally, it's also my favourite David Bowie song.
2. Fatbottomed Girls
3. We Will Rock You
4. Keep Yourself Alive
5. Can't Stop Me Now
6. Radio Ga Ga
7. Killer Queen
8. Bohemian Raphsody
9. You're My Best Friend
10.  Somebody to Love

Honourable mention: The Show Must Go On!

What do I love about Queen? They truely inimitable, they're bombastic, they're completely over the top, they do their own thing and in they end they ROCK oh so hard while doing it! So many of their songs are about things I can relate to, like WINNING! or not having a girlfirend (not in the same sense as Freddie, har har har) I'm talking about Somebody to Love. How hasn't sung along to that one at the height of their malaise? Freddie is my top all time lead singer no question, and Brian May's guitar solos are out of this world. That's why We Will Rock You is so high on my list.
