I voted for Innuendo, because that was their swansong and they showed here that although extremely popular they still can produce music of the hihg quality. I was really very much surprised +ly when heard it at that time. Queen do not belong among my the most favourites but I like it and respect it. They made a lot of music of different kinds, from hard rock in the beginning, through spectacular rapsody to very catchy hot spaces and hits like radio gaga, which is still very intelligent composition. Sure, it belongs here, as well as Supertramp do.

Queen II ... with Queen second and A Night At The Opera third ...
I actually love all of them except Flash Gordon, Innuendo and Made in
Heaven ... but then again I'm in that age group that means the first
Queen albums I fell in love with were The Works and A Kind Of Magic

May be the only one, but I voted for A Day at the Races, there's something special in tracks like Somebody To Love and Teo Torriate that makes me love this album.

I got to see Freddie and Co. three times during the 70's. All terrific concerts. The first had Thin Lizzy open. Wow! I'll always remember that one.
Queen II has always ranked as my fav Queen disc, and IT IS Prog. Don't let anyone tell ya different.

In my opinion the best one is THE GAME, great rock & roll tunes, not prog but really good rock.
very consise music, savings music elements.
theres no other queen album like this one, very complete and coherent....

Hum,,,
I definitely think that Hot Space is hideous, it's ok that tuxon
acknowledges the bold change of style, there are many bands
that tried that sort of change (succesful the few, some
misunderstood and a failure the most).
An example of a succesful change is definitely King Crimson.
An example of a misundersood one is Camel's Breathless wich
i think blends perfectly two odd by nature musical genres , prog
and disco-pop.
A pair of well-known-for-all examples are Yes and Genesis,
they succeeded in sales but failed miserably as artists.
Hearing the closing track of Hot Space (Under Pressure, the
collaboration with David Bowie) inevitably leads you to
compare it with the mess that the rest of the album is.
Here's my personal order of preference
1. Sheer heart attack
2. Jazz
3. News of the world
4, Queen II
5. A day at the races
6. The game
7. A night at the opera
9. A kind of magic
8. Innuendo
10. Queen I
11. The miracle
12. The works
13. Flash Gordon
14.Made in heaven
15. Hot space

Decided to vote for Hot Space, since it was their most daring release and it has some absolutely stunning songs on it.
It ranks low on my list because it's not a style of music I listen to often, but it is musically their most challenging one
Best songs: Back Chat, Las Palabras De Amor, Life Is Real, Cool Cat

Queen II is my favorite, but Night at the Opera is not far behind...I still think Queen deserves to be included on this site:)

Where's Queen I?
My order of preference
1. Queen I
2. A Night At The Opera
3. Innuendo
4. A Day At The Races
5. Queen II
6. Sheer Heartattack
7. News Of The World
8. The Miracle
9. Jazz
10. Flash Gordon
11. The Game
12. Hot Space
13. A Kind Of Magic
14. The Works
15. Made in Heaven
I like Queen I the best, mainly because of the song My Fairy King, there's a 10 second piano/bass/drum/guitar part that's absolutely the most thrilling i've ever heard
