Fourteen of the remaining 19 are on my regular playlist and at least two of the others should be. This is a fantastic selection of songs so as we progress the downvoting will be by small margins

There's only one dislike and two 'meh' songs left for me. Outstanding final.

I like Queen but always thought that was one of their weakest songs

I Want It All isn't my favourite Queen song (that'd be Innuendo) but I like it a lot. More than A Kind Of Magic (which is also great).

There's always some Queen in my playlists. While my favourite tends to vary depending on my mood, Innuendo is definitely one of those in the mix.

 

I Want It All and A Kind Of Magic aren't the amongst their best work, imho, but they don't deserve to be languishing this close to the bottom so soon in the final. That being said this is a strong final with many worthy winners remaining on the board.
