Anyone else?

Im going slightly mad is mine

My favourite Queen songs aren't hits:

1. '39
2. Good Company
3. Dreamer's Ball
4. All Dead, All Dead
5. White Queen
6. Save Me
7. Dear Friends
8. Teo Torriatte
9. Was It All Worth It
10. Need Your Loving Tonight

Out of those ten, only one was an international single, and it flopped. Two others were singles in selected territories, without much commercial success either.

Was It All Worth It
I'm Going Slightly Mad
Don't Try So Hard
Spread Your Wings
Save Me

and a lot of other earlier stuff - can't be bothered to write down.

... eight of which are Brian May tunes !

My list would be pretty similar, so we'll just stick with yours.

hm. some of the lesser known songs.
meaning not being published on any greatest hits, some official compilation nor the deep cuts...
pick out the ballads and you'll probably have the tracklist of the next album to come.

1.Great King Rat
2.My Fairy King
3.White Queen
4.Ogre Battle
5.The March Of The Black Queen
6.Flick of the Wrist
7.Lily of the Valley
8.Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon
9.39
10.The Prophet's Song
11.You Take My Breath Away
12.Teo Torriate
13. Dragon Attack
14.Is This the World We Created
15.Was It All Worth It
16.Bijou
17.A Winter's Tale

Out of the singles i think my list will be something like this. Running time, 75 min.

Mad The Swine
Procession
The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke
See What A Fool I've Been
She Makes Me
Good Company
Long Away
Drowse
All Dead, All Dead
Who Needs You
Sleeping On The Sidewalk

A Human Body
Soul Brother
Back Chat
Keep Passing The Open Windows
Man On The Prowl
Was It All Worth It
Don't Try So Hard
Let Me Live
I Was Born To Love You
Made In Heaven



I don't consider '39 a lesser known Queen song, as it's one of Queen's most "popular" unpopular songs, and isn't really a "deep cut" because it's on ANATO, and has been performed live regularly in recent years.

The night comes down
You don't fool me
Don't lose your head. (steady on now.)

1. Was it all worth it
2. I Can't live with you
3. Father to Son
4. If you can't beat them
5. I Was Born To Love You
6. The March of the Black Queen
7. In the lap of the gods...revisited
8. Hijack my heart
9. You take my breath away
10. Nevermore

nevermore, my fairy king, doing all right, father to son, liar, millionaire waltz, who needs you, it's late & modern times rock and roll

Indeed. He's by far my least favourite Queen member, but he's also by far the one who's written most of my favourite Queen songs.

I am not making a list but one of my favourite less know Queen tracks is "Who needs you"
it is very under rated and freddies vocals are fantastic on that track.
Never heard Queen do that track live ever!

Hangman
Modern Times Rock'n'Roll
White Queen
The March of the Black Queen
She Makes Me
'39
The Prophet's Song
White Man
Dancer
I Go Crazy
Gimme The Prize
Ride The Wild Wind

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Sweet Lady! YOU CALL ME UP AND TREAT ME LIKE A DAWGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
Brilliant song and tune and freddies vocals are classic Mercury on fire!
