Quite a lot of Queen, just about all of Queen II, much of Sheer heart Attack, some of DATR, almost all of ANATO, some of NOTW, some of Jazz...

To say they were a Glam Rock band is to completely belittle what they did and not recognise their incredible achievements - ostrich, you might say.

And may I remind some, that this thread isn't about whether you like them or not - it's about listing 5 prog songs.

Sheesh!

Some people learn to read (and write...)

jajaj "Body Language" sucks, and the flash album and the movie too

I also think that the live album never show this side of Queen, it`s always the same tracklist, I hate that

Always shows: Kind of magic, friend, break free, radio, etc....

I think you are right, but as you know I all  stay in the "Queen", "Queen II", "A night at the opera" & "A day at the races". In the 80 the best moment of Queen was "Under Pressure" with Bowie, not prog but a cool song.

I don`t know you, but I simply HATE "We are the champions"!!!!



Mine is a different case from most ... in the mid 80s I was into synth pop and then the B-sides of Queen's singles Friends Will Be Friends and Who Wants to Live Forever were old hits Seven Seas Of Rhye and Killer Queen ... I realised they were better songs and went and checked out early Queen .. it was so good that I gave away my collection (but only to my sister) ... and for two years I listened to only Queen ...

I came to love almost everything except that awful song Body Language and half of the Flash Gordon album!

I love Queen, is and incredible band and with the decades pull off an unique and refreshing sound never heard before. In the 70 (their best moment) released albums such as "Queen II" or "A day at the races" (my favorite), in the 80 the works were a little down ("Hot Space"), the 90 concluded with one of my also favorite records "Innuendo", and "Made in heaven"

After saying all this, I realized that this band have a few prog moments in song like "Innuendo" or "Bohemain Rhapsody" that allowed to be in the PA, but a band like this make you think that`s there`s a bunch of bands with the same elements or more that should be in this place.

Anyway I would like to know which others song beside "Innuendo" and "Rhapsody" have a progy stile in this amazing bands

Ekzodo Spoke!!
