10 Most Underrated Queen Songs
10. Doing All Right - Queen
Queen's self titled debut is a perfect jewel of an album from back to front. Despite not having too many hits outside of Keep Yourself Alive, this record shows these rock royals on their way to becoming some of the most advanced players in the business, with production that was already miles better than most debuts. Even when the intensity was scaled back on this outing, there was still some merit to be found in Doing All Right.
Written before Freddie Mercury joined, this original Brian May composition with vocalist Tim Staffell is still one of the meatiest cuts on the record, which has just as many heavy riffs as it does heart-grabbing moments. In all honesty, you can still see why something like this wasn't quite up to snuff yet, what with the transitions into the heavy sections sounding like they come out of nowhere. On the other hand, removing these sudden switchups may have turned the song into a lethargic mess in the long run.
With all due credit to Staffell, Mercury is clearly coming into his element on this track, as he makes his way across the melody with the greatest of ease. While this might be considered baby steps for Queen, this showed colossal signs of what was to come.
