While I've always felt Queen had potential to be a very strong Prog band, that just wasn't in their total game plan. 
The most Progressive song they have, IMO, is The Prophet's Song, but many of their earlier albums are over-all Prog in nature.

First of all Queen will never be a band I would like. It may be cause that thingy of Freddie... 2nd Even though Freddie's voice is good I personally don't like it. 3rd I would never say Queen is prog cause in that case we start to name from all bands 2 or 3 long songs and that's it. 4th nothing to do with the subject but I'll say it anyway, I think is a huge mistake to name Queen one of the best classic rock groups. Led Zep, Sabbath, Purple, Trapeze, Nazareth, Van Halen(don't like it lol), Rainbow, etc are way much worthy and unique than Queen. That harsh opinion maybe cause the hate to Freddie but still the music doesn't reach to my soul and much less the overrated Bohemian Rhapsody... Not saying that people that listen to Queen are crap or anything more, or less but I sincery hate that band. No Offesnse really to the fans.

So when did you encounter Freddie's thingy? I had heard he was very promiscuous on both sides of the fence. And that has nothing to do with the music they wrote.
