Why are they underrated? I think it's all about the lack of promotion. As someone said, they were always pretty closed to the media, and the press mosty hated them... Today it's all about promotion. If you record 60 minutes of pure farting it will be 100 times gold only if you promote it enough. They never gave their dirty laundry in public, so they weren't interesting for media. The press usually wrote pure and utter crap about Queen. The lack of promotion also resulted with the fact that the most people know 3 of their songs. (BoRhap, WATC, WWRY). When you mention Queen, 99% of people say: "Are they those gay folks who sing MAMA MIA?" and they usually laugh. BUT, when they hear more Queen songs, they are stunned and very fast grow to like Queen very much. When they found out it was Queen who wrote Radio Ga Ga, Innuendo, IWTBF, AOBTD etc. etc. etc. And they like them even more when they hear song which were never hits, but also brilliant... You get my point, so that's why I think ignorance and the lack of informations are the main reason why Queen are underrated.
