It's a fine example of Roger in one of his fighting moods. The guys seems to love telling people to go and shove it.
Is it his best and most under-appreciated? Hard to say. I, too, prefer Drowse - it's not just my favourite with Roger's vocals on it, but one of the favourite Queen songs overall. The turnaround on "here on the street" blows my mind away every time.

My top Roger songs.
1. Tentement Funster
2. Calling all girls (Live version)
3. Fight from the inside
4. I'm in love with my car
5. Say it's not true

I agree with the first post. I love "Fight from the Inside."
My neighbors had a BBQ-party a couple of days ago. They played some loud music, and suddenly "Fight From The Inside" was played. Along with "Flash" and "Need Your Loving Tonight".
I really like to hear other people play Queen songs when it's not "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "We Are The Champions"...

I love FFTI
But I personally love the back story for "I'm In Love With My Car"
Y'know, when Rog locked himself in a closet until Fred made it the B-Side?
Good stories.

Well, my Favourite Roger's songs are Radio Ga Ga, Kind of Magic and Ride the Wild Wind...About Fight From the Inside, i don't think Roger would have Pistols as any kind of inspiration...no...doesn't sound true...that's my opinion...

Yeah, but that 'good story' always rubs me the wrong way.
Seemed to me that Roger knew Bo Rap was going to be a big hit, and wanted equal royalties.

He must have expected extra cash from getting a b side but Roger could never have guessed it would have been that big a hit.
"Fight From The Inside" probably was the first drum-bass driven funk-rock song from Queen. The song was kind of direct forerunner to songs like "Fun It" and especially "Dragon Attack".
Many people say that John incorporated funk into Queen music with "AOBTD" but in fact it was Roger who started it all, and probably the fact that Roger went into it, kind of encouraged John also to write that kind of stuff, which he always wanted to write (but didn't have enough confidence to do it). Probably after this and "Fun It" he thought: "Cool! Queen is going into funk. So now I can easily write something funky and they won't say that I'm going too far from Queen's traditional sound."

Fight from the Inside is a fantastic Roger song.....may certainly be his best....it rocks hard - so heavy!! Fantastic! I love Loser In The End and Tenement Funster too aside from the obvious I'm In Love With My Car...
It is interesting that it was a Roger and Brian performance in the studio...(and they called that Queen)...I always wish that Roger would sing one of the old classics on Tour with QPR.....maybe we'll get Tenement Funster (at least he has done that one before live)

I do think it's as good as any vocal job Taylor ever put on tape. He gets every part of his vocal talent wrapped around this song and nobody could fit that song in substitute of his vocals. His riffs often are as great as May's which this song demonstrates.
What I like about those late 70's Taylor tracks is how completely original they were.

I didn't like the song much until I heard the instrumental version from The Eye.
Brought a new appreciation!
