It's Late.

Alanasusan... and all others that listed White Man I wholeheartedly agree...I've always been a bit dismayed by the number of fans that don't like this song and even call it ADATR's weakest moment. Probably one of Freddie's best, howling rock vocals. Almost always included this song in mix-tapes i would make for people interested in hearing a good sampling of their "heavy rock" side. It absolutely thunders and rumbles in a very Zeppeliesque way(a compliment, indeed) with some of Rogers most powerful drumming. And the lyrics are some of the best Brian ever put down.
Another underrated song that "shoulda been a single"........Ride The Wild Wind.
Oh, and I have to throw in Mad The Swine, too!

Absofuckinglutely - White Man, a fantastic song. Lyrically interesting. Awsome guitar sound, great vocal, dynamically spot on...somebody stop me.
PrimeJiveUSA
LOL...Bigfish...I won't stop you because it is such a great track!
y'know, I think many of us love Queen for many different reasons...one aspect was their "heavy rock" side...sometimes it worked....sometimes it didn't come off quite as well(i.e."tear it up)...in the case of White man they were god-like.

Sure - it was hit and miss but when they got it right it was seminal heavy rock n roll. White Man, dead on time, father to son, one vision, i want it all, stone cold crazy, It's Late, sorry you're gonna have to stop me again..

Show Must Go On underrated? Can't agree. It was overlooked at the time of its release, but grew to become one of their biggest anthems as years went by. It certainly is one of their most praised and popular songs now. Princes of the Universe got its recognition through the Highlander series and It's a Hard Life did well all over Europe, climbing to no. 6 in the UK. It may not be their most often played record now, but I don't think it's the kind of evergreen to have that sort of longevity. It's a fine tune, but the same could be probably said about many other songs, by other bands, that got even less attention... Love Of My Life also doesn't seem to fit well in here. Maybe it simply never was a "radio song"? It is always recognised and appreciated whenever played live, and I think it always was. I think it has a sort of Ave Maria popularity, if one can use such a comparison.

I understand what you're saying as far as some of my choices, but remember. it depends where a person is from. In america the show must go on is hardly played. Maybe once a year at the most. The song should be as popular as we are the champions, but it's not. love of my life is loved by Queen fans, you're right about that, but still the average Joe never heard it, which is a shame. When i say "underated" I mean great songs that arn't known by the general public, or even the average rock n roll fan. Queen2 is one of the most beloved albums for die hard queen fans, but it's still underated because the general public never heard it.

Well, yes in the States the whole of Queen's post-Game output seems to be overlooked overall. Although TSMGO was coupled with BoRhap after Freddie's death, but I do know that it was mainly BoRhap that got the attention. Didn't think that it never gained more popularity over the years though... As for average Joe who doesn't know LOML... Yes, that's unusual to say the least:) Cheers!

Ahh, thank you PrimeJiveUSA! It certainly isn't in keeping with the general theme of ADATR, but I gained so much respect for Brian after hearing these lyrics and fell in love with Freddie even more. It has that awesome blues-ish, mystical metal sound to it that I didn't realize Queen was capable of. Just goes to show they could play any genre incomparably well.
And I as well will not stop you BigFish, you are dead on. And thank you for reminding me of Stone Cold Crazy. My favorite song from Sheer Heart Attack and in my top five of all time.
Oh, and I forgot to mention Ogre Battle. It always reminded me of the prequel (not lyrically, of course) to Bo Rhap. It's such a great song to rock out to in the car.
