| That is a diffcult question, but at the moment:
The Best: Queen II- Had all the elements that would use in the future, heavy guitars, pop melodies and vocals and more vocals etc, and one of the heaviest Queen albums to boot
The Worst: Queen-Hot Space- A few good songs but the band was writing pop, disco and even wanna be funk numbers and even the inclusion of 'Under Pressure' does not save this dog |

| Best - Queen II
Worst - Hot Space
Actually, they pretty much lost me after The Game. |

| Overall I'd say Queen, Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack are my favorite Queen albums.

Have you listened to "Made in Heaven" or "Innuendo"? Both are worth checking out IMO.
BEST: Queen II
WORST: Hot Space

Innuendo has some good songs but overall it didn't do much for me. |

| Best is a best of two disc set imo. They don't have any albums that don't have a lot of duds. |

| My favorite was "news of the world"...great gatefold cover artwork by the way.
I am more of a fan of Queen songs than albums. _________________  |

Ditto. Queen is one of those bands where a "best-of" compilation pretty much has everything I need from them.

| Best: A Night at the Opera & News of the World
Worst: Kind of unfair because it's a soundtrack, but I want to be different so I will say Flash Gordon. The title track is awesome, but other than that... |

| Wow, a lot of hate for Queen in this thread.
That surprises me to some extent. Unless you're a hardcore metalhead who only listens to straightahead metal, I just don't understand why more people don't appreciate this band. Especially the early pre-News Of The World stuff.

| BTW, Just to throw some gasoline on this thread, I'd say the worst Queen album is still better than anything King's X has ever put out (except for "Gretchen").
