Queen have many hits, but which do you love and which do you hate?

Overrated - Don't stop me now

Underrated - Fat bottomed girls

The only one I can think of that is overrated would be Bohemian Rhapsody which is an awful song....but then again I feel Queen are pretty much overrated in general, though I can listen to them with no problem apart from the above song.

All overrated as far as I'm concerned, never got Queen at all. But Bohemian Rhapsody must be in the conversation for most overrated song ever.

I love Fat Bottomed Girls.
I don't know what songs I'd consider underrated because I think the majority of the "hits" are brilliant.
Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon is a personal favourite. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy too. Princes of the Universe, Hammer to Fall, Break Thru. All favourites of mine and maybe not the usual suspects.
Overated - of course a lot of people will go for Bohemian Rhapsody, it does divide people but I still love it and always well.
I suppose for me maybe We Will Rock You and Another One bites the dust. But more overused than overated really. They're still great songs but not ones I hit repeat on

Never liked A Kind of Magic, but adore Who Wants to Live Forever.

Couldn't stand A kind of Magic. Just a tired, clichéd cabaret song. I really loved an album track off The Works called Tear It Up. Real rock from a band that could rock with the heaviest of them when they could be bothered. AC/DC would've been proud of it.

Can't stand anything they did after Sheer Heart Attack.

Favourite song - I'm In Love With My Car... sung by Roger Taylor.

Roger Taylor songs were always my least favourite though that one is alright. Always really loved The March of the Black Queen and Prophet Song. Both never seem to get mentioned but I HATE I want to break free 😠

I think Bohemian Rhapsody is over-rated.

My favourites are: Brighton Rock, Tenement Funster, Lap of the Gods, Machines (Or Back To Humans) and Seven Seas of Rhye.

I cannot stand I Want To Break Free.

I absolutely adore Save Me, everything about it is brilliant. I'm quite shallow when it comes to liking songs because generally if I like the tune, I love the song regardless of the lyrics, but Save Me has beautiful lyrics.

I do like Queen but I have NEVER understood the adoration for BR. I find it to be an utterly unlistenable, screechy to the point of painful for the ears and horribly pretentious piece of rubbish. Yet it always tops best song polls! WTF?

Bohemian Rhapsody is not only the most overrated Queen song of all time, it's possibly THE most overrated song full stop.

I Want It All is my favourite of their's by a long way.

Underrated - Las Palabras De Amor. It wasn't helped by the fact it was from probably their worst album ('Hot Space') and that it had no video. It deserved better than its UK No. 17 peak though.
