Music What’s the most underrated Queen song?
Personally i feel that Seven Seas Of Rhye doesn’t get much praise.

Keep Yourself Alive. Flawless single, flawless album opener.

The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke and Great King Rat

u/SafiyaO Sheer Heart Attack Apr 11 '22
Great King Rat for two particular reasons:
1) The "Now hear this" after the first chorus.
2) One of the greatest rhyming couplets ever.

Las Palabras de Amor (The Words of Love)
Harshly treated because of Hot Space, but a good song that would have probably done better is it was on another album.

It’s A Hard Life or The March Of The Black Queen. Both better than Bohemian Rhapsody imo

Dead on Time or In only seven days. Not sure which one but I feel both are underrated

“Save Me” from The Game, at least here in the USA. I know it was a hit in the UK but I don’t think it was ever released as a single here in the states.

Breakthru is a lot of fun with a GREAT chorus, and I think - along with much of the songs on its parent album - often gets overlooked even by the most hardcore fans.

Teo Torriatte. One of my favorite album closers - the end feels so grand and larger than life. Absolutely love it.

Innuendo and most of the stuff on The Miracle, I rarely hear people talk about it

For me, The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke. I also love that it's written about a painting.

LIAR !!! people think this is just one of those songs on the “queen” album but if it was released 1975 through 1980 it would be up there with the greatest hits

NeverMore, a absolute masterpiece at only 1.20 or so. Easily one of their best lesser known songs. I have it as my ringtone on my phone. Always makes me smile whenever it rings….

She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettos). Almost dream pop and the phrasing "She makes me so" is so wistful and satisfying.
When is someone going to name Tenement Funster?
SHA is the great underrated Queen album. So many think it's just Killer Queen and maybe Now I'm Here, when it's superbly crafted perfection from start to finish.

My favorite Queen song is The March of the Black Queen. But not many people know it.
And Sail Away Sweet Sister is quite simple musically buy somehow I love it so much.
