I'm sure we have all been to a point where We know a queen song that should have been a single so I want to see what people have came up with for me it would be

Single: March of the black queen
B-side: funny how love is

Dragon Attack and Put Out the Fire should have been released as singles. Don't know what the B-sides should have been, though.

As much as we all love "March of the black queen", here, they're career launch, as far as getting a first hit is concerned, would have been put on hold had it been released. Not commercial radio friendly, too long , not catchy enough etc.
Bohemian Rhapsody was an exception to the rule.

What would've happened if anyone had been crazy enough to make this into a single would've been a repeat performance of the hideous Liar single-edit. Only much, much worse.

These are horrible choices for a single.

A combination mix of this leak plus some of Brian and Roger's stuff.

Should have been done in November or December. Stand alone. Could've charted

Why not You & I? I could imagine that having more success than TYMD, it's a pretty catchy and just a great song....

Or even Stone Cold Crazy, that was never a single, or even a b-side. (except I think a live version was a b-side of one of the singles from The Miracle)

Ride the wild wind, from Innuendo always struck me as a potential hit

Don't see how anyone can say March of the Black Queen would have been the end of Queen...and not realise that's exactly what people thought with Bohemian Rhapsody.

Wouldn't have been the end........just delayed the start. /\
