I'm not much of a Queen fan (like, at all), so I'll go with The Bicycle Race due to it being weirdly amusing.
Favorite Queen song
- Thread starter Sean Hollyman
- Start date
My favourite changes a lot.
Usually one of these two:
Or:
Princes of the Universe also ranks up there somewhere, but I don't want to post like 30 videos.
Which was probably not serious in the first place, but it amused me to no end.

A guy I knew in high school hate hate hated Queen because of the line "Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars."lacktheknack said:

I have no words for that. xDZachary Amaranth said:
Of all the reasons to dislike Queen, I've never heard of someone going with "Freddie Mercury Might Not Like Star Wars".
My favorites include Under Pressure,We Will Rock You, Another One Bites the Dust, Don't Stop me Now, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Obvious choice perhaps, but I don't care.
Somebody to Love never fails to get me singing along.
Well, I say singing, it's more like the sound of a dying cat.

Queen is my absolute favorite band, so choosing only one song is tough. Seeing as "Those were the Days of Our Lives" is one of the few songs that has ever made me tear up, I'll go with it.
Its really hard to pick, they have a lot of good songs that others have mentioned here so I'm going to go with Save me.
Freddie Mercury sounds just out of this world when singing it live to.
I would have to say Now I'm Here is a close second though, its a great rock song.

Tie between Under Pressure and Don't Stop Me Now. Under Pressure just has something kind of beautiful to it, and the lyrics are really relatable for me as someone who's clinically depressed. And Don't Stop Me Now is just utterly ridiculous fun, which is what I love Queen for.
'39 is one of those songs that when I heard it, got stuck in my head, and now I'm thinking about it, where it is now stuck in my head... and it is awesome.Bellvedere said:
OT: Tie Your Mother Down is awesome, purely by the great guitar work. March of the Black Queen for its grand scale and the fact it doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard in my life. I also like Dreamer's Ball, Seaside Rendezvous and Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon... and Pain is so Close to Pleasure, and The Night Goes Down... and Who Wants to Live Forever... and Play The Game...
I'll say, final answer, Dreamer's Ball. It's one of my favorites, it's a wonderful tune akin to an Elvis Presley sound that I believe was written for the King's passing as it was supposed to sound like a song he would sing. As it stands, it's a beautiful song that few people have heard and I think is amazing to listen to, it's not as bombastic as their other works, and that's kind of why I like it.
He was....A little obsessive, so it's not entirely shocking. You sort of had to know him, though.lacktheknack said:
Which I did. Unfortunately.
I learned several Queen songs on trombone after that. Because I'm evil.
That's the original mix, yes? It's been a while since I listened to Freddie's solo records, bvut I'm pretty sure that's the original version.Wilco86 said:
I find it very hard to choose one but just cause I haven't seen it mentioned yet, I'm gonna say One Vision.
Fried Chicken!
Surprised this hasn't come up yet, but this is awesome; the music and vocals (both main and backing) are all good, and the references in the verses.
thanks for pointing that out!Zipa said:
I know he wrote songs knowing he was dying, I thought that was one of them, my mistake
. I just had a dig and 'show must go on' came up. can you confirm this as being one of his last songs?either way a hell of a band! my dad saw them play at Wembley too! mega jealous.
