I just listened to Funny How Love is in its standalone version (from the 3" CD Single collection) and I now have a bit more appreciation for the song. It's just... different. An experiment of some sort and a catchy little tune. In the album it segues from TMOTBQ and I very rarely skip it.
Now, nobody talk shit about Body Language. It's not Queen's worst song, by any means. That would be something like "Don't try suicide" or "Delilah", which doesn't mean that one can't enjoy those songs.

Yeah Funny How Love Is, IMO FHLI rounds up the Ogre Battle/Fairy Feller/Nevermore/Black Queen sequence, which is very dark and aggressive and demands a lot of dedicated listening, in a very happy mood. I think it's good in that order to come down a little bit before getting into the seven seas of rhye. Beside that it has a really catchy tune, that I like to whistle sometime.
@ paulsmith2001, I have to agree, chips are absolutely 10 out of 10. Best food ever.

In my opinion, it's tough to pick out a specific song and "rate" it. I think the greatness of Queen II comes from the whole album, all the tracks working together to create a very special atmosphere. But, on the other hand, listening to only Father to Son or Seven Seas of Rhye ain't too bad either...

The original poster rated every song 10/10?.....queen2 is Probably my favorite queen album, but every song is not a ten.
Procession- 10/10, just love the way this one starts off the album father to son- 10/10, Love the song White Queen- 10/10, great song, but i like the live version even better. Some Day one Day- 8/10, loser in the end- 4/10, sorry, but this one doesn't fit the album. not a great song IMO. Orge Battle- Rob Halford likes this one, and i couldn't blame him. Gets the album back on track. Fairy feller's masterstroke- 10/10, One of my all time favorites songs. Nevermore- 10/10, Same as above March of the black Queen- 10/10, Same as above. Funny how love is-8/10, nice and catchy. Could have been a hit. seven seas of Rhye- 10/10, sounds better while listening to side black than it does alone or Greatest hits.

This is without any doubt Queen's greatest album,
I don't know whether I should give procession a 10/10 but with its role in the LP I think its worth it.
Procession - 10/10 - With role in LP Father to Son - 10/10 - Outstanding Progressive Rock Song White Queen - 10/10 - Magical and intense emotion Someday One Day - 10/10 - Physchadelic Loser in the End - 10/10 - Yes, it's very underrated Ogre Battle - 10/10 - This is a explosion of a record The Fairy Feller Masterstroke - 10/10 - Excellent Experimentation Nevermore - 10/10 - Tearful ballad The March of the Black Queen - 10/10 - Never heard a song like this Funny How Love Is - 10/10 - Cause it's optimistic and fun Seven Seas of Rhye - 10/10 - Very Good.

Procession — 10/10 (good intro) Father to Son — 10/10 (middle section is just incredible) White Queen (As It Began) — 10/10 (but live version is much better) Some Day One Day — 10/10 (a little bit boring, but good as part of album) Loser in the End — 10/10 (one of Roger's best songs) Ogre Battle — 10/10 (great rocker) The Fairy Feller Masterstroke — 10/10 (very odd and nice song) Nevermore — 10/10 (but BBC version is better) The March of the Black Queen — (Queen's best) Funny How Love Is — 10/10 (bad as stand-alone song but great as part of album) Seven Seas of Rhye — 10/10 (great rocker)
Ogre Battle (1991 Bonus Remix by Nicholas Sansano) — 8/10 (not bad remix) Seven Seas of Rhye (1991 Bonus Remix by Freddy Bastone) — 1/10 (bad remix)
