i think so, yes. e.g. everybody says how great Clean Machine or Rock It are, but nobody ever mentions that John had a great talent to write beautiful little songs.
anyway i always think that most queen fans like him songwriter wise the most.
(he's after freddie my favourite songwriter)

Johns a great songwriter. But i don't think he was the best songwriter in Queen.
My list
1. Brian
2. Freddie
3. John
4. Roger

not to mention all the instrumentals off the Flash Gordon soundtrack that everyone always forgets about.

Let's not forget that John was influenced by soul, R&B, reggae, and other black genres.
Which helped Queen get a more pop oriented vibe, and a funkier sound to make their music trascend to other genres other than rock.

ITA stands for I TOTALLY AGREE;-)

John is my second favorite member after Freddie.
I also think that he wrote some awsome songs. Spread your wings, Misfire, and Another one Bites the dust all rock. My favorite, though, is You and I.

I love John's songs!
Though underrated maybe because he doesn't sing.....?
Who knows.

I agree with Stone Cold Crazy there. Perhaps John's underrated status is due that he never sang on the albums. Also his stage pressence is deemed forgettable to non Queen fans, and surpisingly, to some Queen fans as well. I'll admit that at first I wasn't that fond of John. However, as I got more into Queen I learnt to appreciate his songwriting. Most of the Queen songs that I love are written by him, such as You and I, Misfire, and Spread Your Wings to name some. Freddie will always be my favourite songwriter of the group. John is a very close second. Brian is a distant third, and Roger is dead last. IMO
