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

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 from this list.

My alltime favorite is Somebody to Love

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.

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

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... Confused
20+ prog bands discovered and explored in 3 years, still going strong...
