10 best deep cuts

What's a "deep cut" here? I like Spread Your Wings as much as Holly, but it was a UK single....

Genuine question

A song that wasn't a hit - Queen didn't include Tie Your Mother Down or Spread Your Wings on their first greatest hits album because neither was a top 20 hit.

I'll be honest, I was going to ask Holly the same thing.

I reckon that if it was out as a single (top 20 or not, it's still a well known track), it's not a "deep cut". I'd say B-sides are acceptable, especially when the "hit" really overshadows it.

I don't see any specific "rules" though, as it were.

As much as I love Spread Your Wings (it's my favourite Queen song), it's technically not a deep cut because as others have pointed out, it did receive a single release.

Here's my top 10, which excludes any UK single releases and I've reluctantly limited the list to one song per album - could have easily chosen a few songs off Queen II!

Flick Of The Wrist
Long Away
Fairy Feller's Master Stroke
The Prophet's Song
Was It All Worth It
Ride The Wild Wind
The Night Comes Down
The Hero
Jealousy
Made In Heaven (not a Queen single)

Sorry nothing to read in the previous post. But here are the ones I consider Deep Cuts, and Musucfan15 fantastic list, you are a true music fan!

My Fairy King
White Queen
Lily of the Valley
The Prophet's Song
You and I
Spread your wings, another Deacy gem, sorry I can't resist
Dead on Time
Sail Away Sweet Sister
Life is real
Keep passing the open windows
Was it all worth it
All God's people

I think a deep cut is an album track that didn't get released as a single so isn't well known. But I took advantage if the lack of rules to include it as it wasn't a hit ( I think it was top 30). Technically, Princes was also a CD single back in the early noughties but aside from its use as the Highlander tv series theme song it isn't that well known. They both rock.

The first cut is the deepest.

>The first cut is the deepest.

I am not sure if it is technically a single, as it was released on EP.
