I vote for Prophet Song. (from night at the opera). It blows all their other epics out of the water.

Even "March of the Black Queen"?

March of the Black Queen = dry run for Bohemian Rhapsody.

I'm going with two Roger Taylor songs: "Sheer Heart Attack" and "Tenament Funster".

Dominique beat me to "Tenement Funster".

the run out groove on any queen record.

"The Prophet Song" remains my favorite as well, but since you already chose that, I'll go with either "Fight From the Inside" off NEWS OF THE WORLD and/or "Dragon Attack" off THE GAME.

Ever notice big Queen fan Trent Reznor ripped off Brian May's riff on "Fight From the Inside" on Nine Inch Nails' "Last" on the BROKEN e.p.?

The Prophet Song or Death on 2 Legs.

"'39" -- it's a beaut.

I've always liked "Ogre Battle" since I was a kid. It is 70s guitar riff rock, complete Queen-style over the top middle earth metal and would have been good in the soundtrack to "Time Bandits". Like most Queen music, it is ultimately kind of silly, but that is ok.

"See What a Fool I've Been"-the most sissified blues rocker ever!

"Jesus". "Ogre Battle". "Who Needs You". "Sheer Heart Attack". And for the most outside of all outside picks, "Back Chat". I like "Staying Power" too. That is as good as anything from the Bee Gees' 'Main Course', one of the all-time classics btw

in the lap of the gods (revisited) or "funny how love is waking up in time for tea"

"Liar" off the first album. so wonderfully overblown. and the way the piano tinkling crooning first verse gives way very suddenly and abruptly to the multi-tracked Freddie screaming LIAR! beautiful.

play the game, friends will be friends, somebody to love.

and in a moment of weakness i must admit i am very fond of many tracks on "a kind of magic" including "pain is so close to pleasure" which i think is terribly underrated.
