hi, i've noticed that many people when they talk about queen talk about we will rock you, we are the champions or i want to break free but queen is so much more, and some early songs are being forgotten that i personally love like: who needs you, my melancholy blues, nevermore, you take my breath away |

All of my friends seem to think that Queen are only famous for releasing Don't Stop Me Now, Bo Rap, WATC and WWRY etc. It's almost like people see Queen as a novelty band who wrote songs for parties. Of course this fun element was always part of Queen, but people seem to forget that they were all accomplished musicians who wrote some of the finest music of the 20th Century. |

I think some 'Hot Space' things are very good songs (but recorded in a mediocre way). |
brENsKi 08.02.2008 08:31 |
in my order of preference:- 1. fairy feller/nevermore/MOTBQ (medley) awesome 2. millionaire waltz 3. my fairy king 4. liar 5. good oldfashioned loverboy |

Apart from 7 Seas, all of Queen 2 gets ignored by most radio stations or non hardcore Queen Fan. Possibly due to the fact many of the songs segue into one another. Without doubt their greatest and most consitent album in my opinion but ironically has just one 'hit'. |

If Bo Rhap took it up to 11... ...The Prophet's Song took it up to 12. Maybe that was too far, maybe it wasn't. If the public could take Bohemian Rhapsody, with sufficient airplay, they could've just as easily taken The Prophet's Song. I reckon there's a parallel world where Kenny Everett played The Prophet's Song 14 times in a day, and the rest is alternate history... EDIT: And Queen II, from which only SSoR is even slightly known. |

I agree wholeheartly with "The Fairy Feller's Masterstroke" being a way overlooked jewel in Queen's crown. Most people don't realize that the song is simply about a painting by the same name set in midevil times and Freddie is simply describing all the things happening in the painting. That's pretty cool if you ask me. However I'll offer Flick of The Wrist, The Night Comes Down, and Teo Torriate..... |

The song probably says much more about Richard Dadd than it does the gathering....Richard Dadd had an almost destructive obsession with detail...he had a fondness for painting fairies - perhaps because of the detail? if you look at the painting closely...you will see bizarre attention to least significant detail...like the blades of grass get more attention than some of the sunjects behind them of course, he went mad, and killed his father |

Jealousy, Millionare Waltz, Breakthru (well, the general public ignore it anyway), White Queen (as it began), and umm....cant think of anymore at the moment, coz im listening to Friends will be Friends at the moment and trying to disect the lyrics (dispute on QOL) so im not exactly concentrating. Also, genrally anything off Innuendo. |

white queen- possibily one of brian's most beautiful work! and one of my favorite- the night comes down! the fairy fellers master stroke- i have more of an appreciation of the painting because of this song, and understanding who the characters are. i have a weakness for harpsichords too. Liar is a great one too tenement funster is probably my favorite from roger spread your wings (at least in the US) is one of johns best, IMO and is underrated here. |

of course i forgot you and i, white queen( as it began), seaside rendez vous; piano version of love of my life, nevermore( most people don't know it, it's from queen II) and one song that can make me cry and believe me it's hard to make me cry its my melancoly blues, what else ummm, yeah somebody to love, well i'd rather stop or i'll end up writing half of their songs, queen are magic, no other band can pretend to be even close to them, i love those guys especially freddie, rip , you were the man, respect |

I would say one of the most outstanding Queen songs that is ignored very often is All God's People - I think it is just wonderful |
