10 Most Underrated Queen Songs

There's been enough said about Bohemian Rhapsody at this point. From being featured in Wayne's World to being the backdrop of the entire cinematic history of the group, the 6-minute epic tune will eventually transcend the confines of rock music and become one of the greatest creations in 20th century music. However, there is one song in the Queen's catalog that was almost able to match it.

On the surface, many artists thought that the band wouldn't see an album like Innuendo rising to prominence, with Freddie still struggling with his AIDs diagnosis without much time left. Once you throw the title track on though, it's some of the most forceful rock and roll these guys have ever done. As opposed to the plodding schlock you'd express from a group this far into their career, this song feels colossal from the first few seconds, as Freddie commands his performance about persisting in the face of adversity.

Whether it's about his own struggles with his diagnosis or their relationship with the press, the end results still feels potent just the same. Adding even more textures to the mix, we also see everything from a classical section to a rock and roll breakdown to even a flamenco style guitar solo contributed by Steve Howe of Yes. Rather than their typical rockers, this is the one Queen song that feels like an event, with the band bringing together every single element that made them great and combining it into six glorious minutes.
