14 Underrated Albums (And 1 Overrated Record)

13. Queen - Innuendo

Queen Innuendo Innuendo similarly starts like a train, but is weighed down by the comparisons between its best tracks and the weaker ones. By the early '90's, Queen had arguably forgotten what made them interesting in the first place. A singles band throughout the 80's, they had always been more interesting when one examined their silly, funny and ambitious album tracks, Innuendo didn't disappoint- the title track was more ambitious and had a similar structure to but a better guitar solo than Bohemian Rhapsody, and Ride The Wild Wind was as thrilling as The Show Must Go On was heartbreaking. The only track that stops it joining the slim pantheon of great Queen albums is the excruciating Deliliah, a winningly silly but utterly unlistenable ode to Freddie's cat, complete with 'mioawing' guitar solo from Dr May

I am a freelance writer, currently residing in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. I was raised by wolves in the woodlands of Northumberland, but am still posher than Colin Firth having dinner with The Queen. I write all of my pieces by swallowing a cocktail of scrabble tiles and vodka, then regurgitating them over my jotter. Hope this explains the typos.
