Queen - The Beat Goes On /YouTube

To say that Queen is a formidable musical force is an understatement. When Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor got together, they created a sound that had never been heard before and still hasn’t been heard since. Because they have such a large back catalog, it is difficult to choose favorites beyond their staples. However, we present to you below these 5 lowkey-underrated songs from the group that only real fans admire. Check it out.

 

โ€œMisfireโ€ โ€“ Sheer Heart Attack (1974)

John Deacon contributed his debut song to the group, a guitar-driven number titled โ€œMisfire.โ€ Recorded on the glam rock album Sheer Heart Attack, โ€œMisfireโ€ stands out as an anomaly yet serves as evidence of the band’s versatility.

โ€œThe Prophetโ€™s Songโ€ โ€“ A Night at the Opera (1975)

Althoughย “Bohemian Rhapsody” will always be the signature song of A Night at the Opera, “The Prophet’s Song” by Brian May is a worthy contender. The song is significantly more extensive than the former, as it veers from prog rock to heavy metal throughout its length.

โ€œNevermoreโ€ โ€“ Queen II (1974)

Queen never wasted any time recording a bad song when they were at the top of their game. โ€œNevermoreโ€ is one of their shorter songs, yet it nevertheless manages to pack a profound narrative of grief, a magnificent three-part harmony, and an unusual piano style.
