Now don´t get angry when i say the following :::
personally I like Prophet´s song better than BoRhap.[/QUOTE]
I also prefer the Prophets Song to Bo Rhap. I mean, i still think Bo Rhap is an absolutely marvellous piece of work, but i seem to enjoy the Prophets Song more.
From the 70s, i'd say Stone Cold Crazy, Rock it (Prime jive), and probably Lap of the Gods revisited.
80s would be, as everyone has said, the works album (that was the first album i ever got and i still rate it as one of my faveourites), Pain is so close to pleasure (love that song) and as i said at the beginning, Scandal.
Thanks everyone for replying, i find it really interesting to read your replies!
Best wishes for the festive season,
Luv Caitlin

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]gmhmagic wrote: [/QUOTENAME]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!

Not me. I think Hammer To Fall and It's A Hard Life were underrated very much. Not many people talk about them. Same goes for Scandal, The Miracle, The Invisible Man, Back Chat, Calling All Girls, Need Your Loving Tonight, PLAY THE GAME (Very underrated in my book), Liar, Keep Yourself Alive, and Jealousy.
But when I mentioned The Works, I meant that within the Queen fan community, it's underrated. It was a smash back in '84, but the only songs on it that really get a lot of mentions on this forum are Radio Ga Ga and I Want To Break Free.
I think in the Queen fan community, Queen II gets overrated. Because the public didn't like it as much as things such as The Game or A Night At The Opera, I think Queen fans tend to like it more, because it wasn't some big hit album.
Even with the regular public, songs like Hammer To Fall were ignored. Hammer To Fall, I don't think even charted in '84?? It charted as a promo single on the mainstream rock tracks after Freddie died here in the USA, which is lame. It was a kick ass in '84 just as much as it was when Freddie died. Hollywood Records released a lot of promos in 92... like One Year Of Love, The Great Pretender, Stone Cold Crazy, and I think Love Kills.
