10 Great Songs Never Released As Singles

Queen were poised to create their masterstroke with A Night At the Opera, where the band experimented with everything from jazz to classical to ragtime styles. The definitive song on the record is "Bohemian Rhapsody," which was vocalist Freddie Mercury's brainchild and a massive moment in 20th century music.

Mercury's other contributions resulted in tunes that were equally as strong though. The song "Love of My Life" is one of the prettiest songs Mercury would ever compose. Whereas rock lyrics at the time dealt with love in a more juvenile manner, this track is one of the purest declarations of devotion in rock music. The melody is simple yet elegant, and Mercury's performance is one of the impassioned vocals he would ever deliver on record.

The song itself has developed a life of its own, becoming a fan favorite almost immediately. Occasionally, the crowd would overpower the band's volume when they performed live, as the audience sang the song back to the band with an overwhelming intensity. Even though Freddie has moved on from this world, this song is still played live by Brian May as a tribute to the beautiful talent Freddie shared with the world.
