My favs are:
Sheer Heart Attack
News of the World
Night at the Opera
The Game
The Works (I know this will get me in trouble)
See, I never got why Queen was called pompous. Lyrics like "She boils and she bakes and she never dots her i's" stuck in the middle of The March, or like "Pedagogue squinting wears a frown, and a satyr peers under lady's gown, he's a dirty fellow, what a dirty laddie-oh" in the Fairy Feller's are just too funny cute to make me think they were written to be pompous.

My top five, er.. today's pick:

Queen II
ANATO
Innuendo
News Of The World
The Game
