Despite Somebody To Love with George Michael being a #1, I'd still rather have a proper Queen single on the album, than one reconstructed with another singer after Freddie had died. I'd remove STL, AOBTD, Elton's TSMGO, and the solo bits, and replace them all with "boner-Fido" Queen singles. The only "duet" I'd leave on there is Under Pressure, as at least Freddie had a hand (or at very least a foot) in the original tracking on that one.

Defend yourself, I bring catastrophe

I have 4 boxsets of singles that say otherwise.
