10 Most Underrated Queen Songs

Queen's album News of the World practically had an ace in the hole with We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions. Even if the rest of the album sucked, having those two sonic juggernauts to kick everything off was well worth the price of admission. On the other hand, the arrival of Sheer Heart Attack as the very next song showed that these guys were just getting started.

While it was originally written for the album of the same name, Sheer Heart Attack is one of the heavier tracks these guys have ever laid down. Given that it was written by Queen's resident rocker Roger Taylor, most of the song chugs along at a relentless pace, almost as if things could fly off the hinges if it gets too out of control. Despite not having any hand in the genre's creation, the amount of attitude and speed on this tune almost sounds like these guys are trying on the genre of punk rock to see if it sticks.

Even though this worked like gangbusters, it didn't end up suiting the group later down the line, with albums like the Game putting them on full pop mode for the most part. However, if we were to imagine Queen's future based upon this song alone, just think of the amazing metallic tunes we could have heard.
