My Melancholy Blues
The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke
You Take My Breath Away
I lift my head and smile for everyone - Lost Opportunity
WHITE MAN- one of the best rock tracks EVER, IMO
IT'S LATE- same...
THE PROPHET'S SONG- loved by fans, but the general audience doesn't even know it...
YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY- same as "Prophet's Song"
DEATH ON TWO LEGS- should be a single
WAS IT ALL WORTH IT- on eof the best riffs i've ever heard!
http://www.queenzone.com/queenzone/forumnew/forum_topic_view.aspx?Q=696327 Wanna trade? Here's my list...
I beleive 2 songs 1 being Fairy Fellers master stroke (did they ever play that live???). The other being Calling All girls cause it was written by Roger ....... nuff said!
Great King Rat!!!! Perhaps THE best song ever, IMHO!
every second word he swore, yes, he was the son of a whore, always wanted by the law!
In my opinion, every song Queen produced was under-rated! Queen is the best band in the world! Even the Universe!
Cherie Grove
Dead on Time, Staying Power, The Millionaire Waltz, and Keep Passing the Open Windows need more love.

I like You and I written by John. It´s very nice song. I think it was good for single release. But...
And of course I like Nevermore, Flick of the wrist, More of that jazz, Machines, Hijack my heart, Don´t try so hard...
"eep yourself alive" was under-rated. For the first song from a band, that is an awesome song but missed charts completely. But it is still a wonderful songs with a powerful sound by Freddie. Just like in "It's Late" also written by Brian it has Freddie give his all, I he hits like a high C or C# which for any guy is amazing!
Come into my enclosure And meet my melancholy blues.
im in love with my car
drowse (massive taylor fan)
my fairy king
sail away sweet sister
and lots more, but im too lazy to think of them!
*** Cheer up emo kid! ***
As Danny said, You and I is very underrated, it such a nice song.
Sail Away Sweet Sister is also underrated, I've heard they played it live once, can anyone tell when?
John: "It's the one thing I wish I could do - sing."
It wasn`t played live by Queen, only by Brian
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
i think one of the most under-rated songs is "dont try so hard"-one of freddies last songs-it combines a lot of what left from his soul and very touchy voice. also jealousy is, i think, one that didnt got what it deserved.
"How Can I Go On From Day To Day.... You Can Make Me Strong In Every Way..."
This one has influenced a lot of bands way ahead of its time, from News of the World:

Fight From The Inside
Words and music by Roger Taylor

Hey you boy hey you hey you boy
Think that you know what you're doing?
You think you're gonna set things to rights
You're just another picture on a teenage wall
You're just another sucker ready for a fall
You gonna fight from the inside
Attack from the rear
Fight from the inside
You can't win with your hands tied
Fight from the inside
Fight from the inside
Right down the line

Hey you boy hey you hey you boy
Think that you know what you're doing?
You think that out in the streets is all true
You're just another money spinner tool
You're just another fool
You gotta fight from the inside
Attack from the rear
Fight from the inside
You can't win with your hands tied
Fight from the inside
Fight from the inside
Right down the line

I think Roger's songs are often overlooked. His solo work on the first two albums were really outstanding especially Strange Frontier. I hope as time goes on he will be more appreciated by Queen fans and others.

Kriz ;o)
Long Live Queen!!!
Oh, man, Fight From The Inside is definitely an under-rated Queen song. It was also pretty complex for its time ('77).

Anyway, my picks for under-rated Queen songs:

Keep Yourself Alive
Death On Two Legs (dedicated to...)
I'm In Love With My Car
Fight From The Inside
Sheer Heart Attack
Dragon Attack
Action This Day
Back Chat
Tear It Up
Princes Of The Universe (should have been at least #3 on the charts)
Hang On In There
All God's People
The Hitman
Heaven For Everyone

And my top pick for most under-rated Queen song is...Fun It.
Why? Well, it has a really good beat, sung by Roger and Freddie, and should have been a really good song, probably making it Top 20, or even Top 10.

there's my picks, I know one of them will be voted as the most under-rated Queen song, but I don't know which one...?
