Mine has always been " A day at the races". I saw them live around that time which may influence my opinion but the brilliant opening and opener Tie your mother down, the incredible Somebody to Love and my personal favourite Teo Torriatte showed that this was a band that equal or even dare to exceed the quality of A night at the opera.
Oooh thats a difficult one, I adore a day at the races, a night at the opera and sheer heart attack, but I think that I will go for a day at the races, just pipping the others. I stopped buying them after 'Jazz'
The Miracle is my favourite, although I'll be honest i've not heard them all. I do prefer their later music to their early stuff. Greatest Hits II is just brilliant.
I love most of them but I listen to the later albums more often. 'Made in Heaven' was the first Queen album I bought and have a lot of memories attached to it. The hidden track is very nice.
'Innuendo' probably has some of Freddie's best vocals and it has my favourite Queen song, 'Slightly Mad' but then 'The Miracle' is full of wonderful songs too.

I loathe their later stuff.
Queen were once very proud of having no synths on their records and then the 80's happens and Queen were on synths like a fat man on bacon

I'm not keen either, anything after Jazz just isnt the same IMO.

I really don't mind the synths. The thought of that doesn't intrude on the songs for me. I love how there was so much variety. Nothing from their early albums could really be compared to their later albums and I think Freddie's voice is amazing on the last couple of records. The high note on 'Hang On In There', the entire performance on 'The Show Must Go On', 'Don't Try So Hard'.
I don't even mind the lambasted 'Hot Space'. I suppose if I had been around at the time and read the 'no synths and proud' line, maybe I would think differently.
