Tie Your Mother Down / You And I 7" UK - EMI 2593 4th March 1977 peak pos: #31, 4 wks on chart
Long Away / You And I 7" USA - Elektra E45412 7th June 1977 did not chart
(second or third releases from an album invariably don't do so well)
It was the weakest track on ADATR. As was the case with most of 'Races', the 'son of' song was weaker. If I need to mention for the newbies, this was a 'son of' YMBF.
Listening to it now, it is exquisite, so much more in depth than various tracks from 'Jazz' , and it kills most of what was on Hot Space and The Works.
btw..........most 'UNDERRATED song'. Once again, ' Under Pressure'. Made it to #23 on the charts. So, it 'rated'. Has the word 'under' in the title.
Then again, I agree, 'Stairway to Heaven' is Queen's most under rated song.

I think it had had decent chance at being a hit if they'd released it as a single.
I agree, or Long Away, even with Brian singing.

Although it was a minor hit here, I think "Need Your Loving Tonight" is underrated!

'It's Late', 'You And I', 'Let Me Entertain You', 'Dead on Time', 'Mustapha', 'Jealousy'. 'You Take My Breath Away', & everything on ANATO besides Bo Rhap & 'You're My Best Friend' (which were hits) & 'Sweet Lady' (which sucks).

Bohemian Rhapsody. Nobody ever talks about that. In fact, I can't even remember what album it's on.
Actually, it's Las Palabras De Amor. Great track.

I'm deeply saddened to see that nobody mentioned White Man. It's in my top fucking five of all time.

Don't agree. I would actually pick Yesterday.

I would say, without any doubt, In Only Seven Days. I consider it to be a masterpiece, John's greatest song, and Queen's best love song, but for some reason I don't think it gets the attention it deserves.
After that I would select in no specific order Jesus (IMO one of the best songs from the first album with a great solo from Brian), Misfire (a terrific early song from John), Sleeping on the Sidewalk (featured arguably Brian's best lyrics, the entire Hot Space album (especially Staying Power), Friends Will Be Friends (Freddie was fantastic and Brian was brilliant), and much of Made In Heaven (in particularly Let Me Live as well as TMLWKY and Heaven for Everyone).

'Round and Round' or 'You See Me Crying', off the terrific 'Toys in the Attic' LP (as someone asked months ago)

Great King Rat

Bo Alex:Great King Rat is one of my favorites too - it's on my top 15 list... One of my friends said the song was "a horse-riding song".. And I think it really is.
...and the follower, My Fairy King, is maybe The best Queen song...!

Great King Rat and My Fairy Kind are certainly very underrated, but then the entire first album is pretty underrated. Other than Keep Yourself Alive, I don't think any of the songs get the attention they deserve. Especially Jesus. I love Jesus, but it seems to be underappreciated even among Queen fans. :D

There are really so many(I live in the US), but two that come to mind right off are It's Late and Ride The Wild Wind.
