Every Queen Album Closing Song Ranked From Worst To Best

15. Seven Seas Of Rhye… (Instrumental) - Queen

Seven Seas of Rhye was the band's first major hit and the song that helped propel their careers to the next level. This is... not that song.

Queen's first album, which was also just called Queen, ends with an instrumental version of the track everyone would come to know as Seven Seas of Rhye.

It runs a minute-and-a-half shorter than the full version and at a much slower pace. Sure, it shares the same melody and name with its more famous cousin, but it lacks all of the excitement and pomp that number brings to the table.

A pointless instrumental that serves as little more than an interesting footnote to a much better song, the wordless version of Seven Seas of Rhye is of little value to anyone but the most diehard of Queen completionists.
