I agree wholeheartly with "The Fairy Feller's Masterstroke" being a way overlooked jewel in Queen's crown. Most people don't realize that the song is simply about a painting by the same name set in midevil times and Freddie is simply describing all the things happening in the painting. That's pretty cool if you ask me. However I'll offer Flick of The Wrist, The Night Comes Down, and Teo Torriate.....

"Fairy Feller" is not about medieval times....it could be set in any time period...the only point about it is it's about fairies and a gathering to watch one fairy break a nut open..
The song probably says much more about Richard Dadd than it does the gathering....Richard Dadd had an almost destructive obsession with detail...he had a fondness for painting fairies - perhaps because of the detail? if you look at the painting closely...you will see bizarre attention to least significant detail...like the blades of grass get more attention than some of the sunjects behind them
of course, he went mad, and killed his father

Umm... She Makes me, Drowse and Millionaires.
Jealousy, Millionare Waltz, Breakthru (well, the general public ignore it anyway), White Queen (as it began), and umm....cant think of anymore at the moment, coz im listening to Friends will be Friends at the moment and trying to disect the lyrics (dispute on QOL) so im not exactly concentrating. Also, genrally anything off Innuendo.

white queen- possibily one of brian's most beautiful work! and one of my favorite- the night comes down!
the fairy fellers master stroke- i have more of an appreciation of the painting because of this song, and understanding who the characters are.
i have a weakness for harpsichords too.
Liar is a great one too
tenement funster is probably my favorite from roger
spread your wings (at least in the US) is one of johns best, IMO and is underrated here.

Sorry, no disrespect -I just happen to find it irritatingly simplistic for a band at that stage in their career.
But our differences do make for an interesting world
...even though you're wrong.
(that was a joke, by the way)

of course i forgot you and i, white queen( as it began), seaside rendez vous; piano version of love of my life, nevermore( most people don't know it, it's from queen II) and one song that can make me cry and believe me it's hard to make me cry its my melancoly blues, what else ummm, yeah somebody to love, well i'd rather stop or i'll end up writing half of their songs, queen are magic, no other band can pretend to be even close to them, i love those guys especially freddie, rip , you were the man, respect
Drowse.

sweet lady, my melancholy blues, stone cold crazy, keep yaself alive
I would say one of the most outstanding Queen songs that is ignored very often is All God's People - I think it is just wonderful
