i've always said that bob, it has everything, strong pounding bass, gritty guitar with a great solo, drum rolls, harmonies and freddies as usual tertific vocal 👑✊🏼🇬🇧

The best Queen songs were the ones that made no success or that most people don't even know they exist. That's why Queen's work is so underated.

I love how Freddie put his all into songs the other guys wrote too.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… ‘70s Queen, the best! Saw them do this live in ‘77… Fantastic!

Definitely one of my favorites amongst the bands underrated gems in their discography

This song is a perfect reason way I recommend people react to more than just live performance footage. The deep cuts are full of awesome treasures like this one. An interesting song to react to that shows a completely different sound is their song “Mustapha”. It brings together some of the sounds Freddie grew up hearing in Zanzibar.

I bought this album in 1979 and wore it out. No bad songs on this record. It's Late is my favorite song on this album. Queen can play anything and make it their own genre. Fun stuff.

This song was on the news of the world album & was overshadowed by we will rock you & we are the champions. Spread your wings is another under rated song off this album.

This probably my favorite song off "News of the World". There's other really good ones, but this one got me first time I heard it. It was a single released in 1978. It was the "A" side, the "B" side was "Spread Your Wings".

In my mind the album 'News of the World' was where Queen decided to completely change their sound and pretty much express their versatlity to the global world. I find many of the songs on here were directly written towards an American audience, Spread your Wings and this song especially... Love your reactions as the song grew. What a track, eh! This could have been the finale but was the penultimate track to the album finale. The closing track could not be any more different to 'Its Late, it is called My Meloncholy Blues and it is beautiful...

Also shows how incredibly tight they are as a band.

Between me & my brother, this album was ALWAYS on the turntable. Several great songs on this album.

Fabulous, thx Mr & Mrs Coach, there is no such thing as a bad Queen song but this one is so underrated!

Queen has the weird problem that many of their excellent songs are overshadowed by their well known hits. Like this song is on the same album with songs like "We Will Rock You" or "We Are the Champions". 🤣 Another overlooked song of this album that makes people question why it wasn't a bigger hit is "Spread Your Wings" -> kzread.info/dash/bejne/p62YmLGFqcu2etI.html

Pure Class oozing Always loved this song. As every song. ❤ spread the love.

Welcome to the club coach

I really love this song though it has a rather bittersweet tone to it. Written by Brian, this is a song that many have not heard. It is a solid song and so surprising that it was not a radio staple. Thank you.

Don’t stop me now official video is a great one to react

Take My Breath Away, studio with lyrics version.

Brian once said they could just be called 'Anthems R Us' or something like that. He was particularly good at coming up with catchy mantras ('The Show Must Go On', for instance, or 'We Will Rock You'). This song was the first one they recorded for its parent album and it led them to switch to a more stripped-down sound than the layered 'Bohemian Rhapsody' sort of thing they'd been doing earlier on. It paid off as they got to explore both sides and get to a broader audience.

I know you like the different genres that Queen play, try My Melancholy Blues from the same album as it's late. One of my favs when feeling in a somber mood. It's a very stripped back song but I love it, try it.

If you would like to listen to Brian's amazing guitar solo, please listen to You Don't Fool Me..... one of the most underrated Queen songs!

"It's Late" is a song detailing an ending love affair written by Brian. The song was released as a single in North America, Japan, and New Zealand in 1978, albeit in heavily edited form, and peaked at #74 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #66 on the Cash Box Top 100. The song was Brian's idea of treating a song as a three-act theatrical play, and the verses are called "acts" in the lyrics sheet. It makes use of the tapping technique a few months before Eddie Van Halen's use of the tapping technique on the Van Halen album. Brian told Guitar Player Magazine that his use of the tapping technique was inspired by Texas guitarist Rocky Athas, after seeing one of his performances at Mother Blues, a Dallas club.

It was one of the last songs that Freddie recorded. He wrote it while looking out the window at his lakefront property while he was convalescing in Switzerland. It's a beautiful song that really captures the Mercury May aesthetic. Mercury sings with his beautiful voice while May answers on guitar. It gets me every time. There is also a video of Freddie Mercury singing White Christmas at a concert in 1977, but the sound quality is poor and it sounds unrehearsed.
