4 Queen masterpieces

   I went with the Rhapsody, because it impressed me so instantaneously, so much and so long ago. The Prophet and the Black Queen are perhaps equally good, but trigger a more modest emotional response in me. 
There is something wrong with Innuendo; not sure what, though. Just don't like it.

	Lets see some more love for Innuendo.. Fantastic song. Their best tune since the peak of their career imo. Queen - Innuendo Edited by Blacksword - January 11 2015 at 05:42
	Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

	The Prophet Song - the song has a dark epic feel and I love the harmony element halfway through the song. For me it is the highlight of the excellent A Night of the Opera.

	The Prophet's Song.
	When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night.

	March of the black queen wins hands down! Killer song from their best album imo. Then.. Innuendo Prophets song Bohemian Rhapsody.

	Prophet Song last? Thought it would be in the lead. I voted for it - their technicolor masterstroke, but March of the Black Queen is grand as well.

	March of the Black Queen > Innuendo > The Prophet's Song >> Bohemian Rhapsody
	This night wounds time.

	Good picks yeah. Rhapsody of course, but those are the only one's that come close.

	The Black Queen rules, if only Bohemian didn't get so commercially successful to become tiredsome.

	definitely gonna look into more from Queen, especially their early years. so for now, i go for Bohemian Rhapsody with Innuendo being an honorable mention. that could change when the time comes.

	The best "progressive" songs from the band in my opinion. You may suggest other songs below of course. Normally Bohemian would win, but since this site is more about prog, I'd like to see what goes down (not to say Bohemian isn't progressive). I honestly can't pick a song...
