Which Queen songs do you think are under rated? My choice would have to be Scandal, i love that song, but it isnt given anywhere near the amount of credit it deserves.

Best wishes,

Roger: Can i go to lunch now? Brian: No you can't.
Off the top of my head, i would have to vote for "Need you lovin". In fact having said that, I think John Deacon himself is kind of under rated as a song writer.
'You and I.' One of my abosolute favourite tracks that always seems to slip under the collective radar.
Anything after 'The Game'... I think 'The Works is underrated. No one mentions much from it anymore.
"Please buy my upcoming album... I need the money"

Hammer to Fall! Easily the best song Queen released in the 1980s.

Truth be told, aside from Hammer and Radio Ga Ga, The Works was a largely forgettable album. I've always felt like Put Out the Fire and Las Palabras de Amor are a pair of great songs that aren't often recognized as such.
"Do you think I should keep this mustache? Did you say no? F--- off."
it's late.the greatest song ever.
'We Are the Champions': everybody knows it, most of us have screamed the chorus from the top off our lungs at the end of a football championship ... but most of us ignore the marvellous musical arrangements it's got ... like the guitar stereo thing in the pre-chorus that Bri recently mentioned in an interview. Brilliant!
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
"I Go Crazy"...but only because I have fondness for it as my old band used to play it. We had a girl backing singer at the time - it meant we could actually replicate the to-ing and fro-ing of the "crazy" vocal bit at the end.

It was so unknown, we occasionally passed it off as our own. :D
"Just tryin' to have a little fun, folks..."

All of John's songs, he's a great songwriter. It's a pity he didn't write a lot of them, but everything he did was great!

Prophet´s song.

Now don´t get angry when i say the following :::

personally I like Prophet´s song better than BoRhap.
You are all MOSTLY mentioning songs that have not been released as a single. I think that is the reason why they are not well known, maybe they are not underrated.
There are people out there that never heard about songs which were not included in the Greatest Hits series...

Perhaps many great songs might have been hits if they had been released as a single! I´m sure they would have been!
