18. Ogre Battle (1974)

We come to fight over our ranking of Ogre Battle. Is it top, middle, or lower tier Queen? It’s the first track on Side Black aka Side B of the band’s second album. Written by Freddie Mercury, as are all the songs on this side, it finds the band in full-on prog rock mode, pushing the recording studio to its limits. Featuring all your usual favourites segments and trivia, join us as we enter the Land of Rhye. Next week, come back for the Fairy Fellers Masterstroke (seriously, I’m not making that up!).
