I'm not so sure that IWTBF is really overrated. IMO, it's one of Queen's most emotive synth-based songs, less cold and mechanical despite the computerized sounds.
And some love for Staying Power, please!

Definitely My Fairy King, The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke, Flick of The Wrist and Bring Back That Leroy Brown. IMHO...

I totally forgot about Flick of the Wrist.... See, it's so underrated that it slipped through my radar! Devastatingly great solo by Brian, wonderful vocals. Just a great, great song.

Keep Yourself Alive - in the matter that, as Roger said, it was more "hit material" than Seven Seas but it didn`t even chart

Staying Power
Dancer
Back Chat
Body Language
Action This Day
... now that's a entire side of underrated songs from their most underrated album. Especially Staying Power, Back Chat and Action This Day... and Body Language... and Dancer... what the hell, guess I'm not that funny!
... I'm dead serious about Side-A though!

Agree with Sebastien and Flick Of The Wrist is also underrated.

Hot Space album
All the songs in Queen I and II (I mean ALL and they are SOHORRIBLYUNDERRATEDBYSTUPIDPUBLIC)
Jazz (neglected by most nonfans and many fans)
Three FM masterpieces (March of the Black Queen, Flick of the Wrist, Millionaire Waltz)
Countless Brian songs (Surely he composed songs that are many times better than We Will Rock You)
Most Deacon ballads
I want to say ALL SONGS but I'm a hopeless addict so ;) (and at least WWRY is NOT UNDERrated.)

"Jazz (neglected by most nonfans and many fans)"
So very true...mostly gets attention for the Bicycle Race/Fat-Bottomed Girls phenomenon and, to a lesser extent, Don't Stop Me Now. Those 3 are great Queen songs, but I love the entire Jazz album (it's my personal favorite). IMO, there's not a dud among the 13 tracks, and it clocks in at a brisk 45 minutes--it just feels so diverse, rollicking, and emotional without being drawn out.
