outstanding queen songs that people ignore

hi, i've noticed that many people when they talk about queen talk about we will rock you, we are the champions or i want to break free but queen is so much more, and some early songs are being forgotten that i personally love like: who needs you, my melancholy blues, nevermore, you take my breath away

all gods people, dont try so hard

It's not that they ignore those songs. They simply don't know them, as they ar enot played on the radio

I agree with your choice of songs plus Millionaire's Waltz.A better version of Bohemian Rhapsody IMHO.White Man.It's Late.Misfire and,dare i say it,You're My Best Friend.

All of my friends seem to think that Queen are only famous for releasing Don't Stop Me Now, Bo Rap, WATC and WWRY etc. It's almost like people see Queen as a novelty band who wrote songs for parties. Of course this fun element was always part of Queen, but people seem to forget that they were all accomplished musicians who wrote some of the finest music of the 20th Century.

I think some 'Hot Space' things are very good songs (but recorded in a mediocre way).

in my order of preference:-

1. fairy feller/nevermore/MOTBQ (medley) awesome
2. millionaire waltz
3. my fairy king
4. liar
5. good oldfashioned loverboy

1. It's Late
2. You Take My Breath Away

Totally agree with you...!

The March of the Black Queen

was it all worth it
all dead all dead
Mother love
Pain so close to pleassure
Death on two legs
and more...

Apart from 7 Seas, all of Queen 2 gets ignored by most radio stations or non hardcore Queen Fan. Possibly due to the fact many of the songs segue into one another. Without doubt their greatest and most consitent album in my opinion but ironically has just one 'hit'.

If Bo Rhap took it up to 11...
...The Prophet's Song took it up to 12. Maybe that was too far, maybe it wasn't. If the public could take Bohemian Rhapsody, with sufficient airplay, they could've just as easily taken The Prophet's Song.

I reckon there's a parallel world where Kenny Everett played The Prophet's Song 14 times in a day, and the rest is alternate history...

EDIT: And Queen II, from which only SSoR is even slightly known.

Long away
All dead, all dead
Dead on time
Calling all girls (Live version)
Was it all worth it?
Don’t try so hard
Let me live

the march of the black Queen
The Prophet song
mind blowers
