What do you think is the best unreleased Queen track that you've heard? And which one had enough going for it to have (fairly) easily been brushed up to standard?

My choice: Silver Salmon. I think it's the best unreleased track by far.

(It also reminds me of early Black Sabbath too.)

Polar Bear could be nice, maybe even somehow adding the chorus harmonies from the Smile version.

Silver Salmon rocks. I have actually included it on my News Of The World iTunes album, making it one of the best songs on there. It also contains some of Taylor's greatest drumming ever.

I would say "Feelings" which was a bonus track on "News of the world" a couple of years ago,
its a great song and freddies vocals are in fine form.
Also did you all know that the Michael Jackson /Freddie track on the forth coming Queen album
"Theres more to life than this" (william orbit remix) was also recorded as a Queen Version track
and Roger said on the Chris Evans breakfast show that they were not allowed to release the Queen version.
So..... fans got robbed again!

No, Brian and Roger did their own mix of the song - it was still using Freddie and Michael's vocals.

I know - I'm talking about a cleaned up version of the Queen demo where Freddie sings it :)

I like "I guess we're falling out" a lot. Sounds like a more than decent albumtrack to me.
Also "Face it alone". Very dramatic tune, very nice. Hopefully a more complete version exists.
I think I'll be Clint Eastwood Jimi Hendrix he was good Let's try William the Conqueror Now who else do I like?

I just remembered today, one day, i read a book about Queen, in late 80s Freddie recorded a song (voice and piano only i imagine) as a request of a dying fan in the hospital. Freddie gave the tape to him but unfortunately, the fan died.

Queen Production asked if the family can give the tape back but the fan gave orders to bury the tape with him.
