As we know Queen was one of the best bands ever. So I'm wondering which of their songs is your favourite. They've produced great classics like We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody and many others.

I will be boring and say Bohemium Rhapsody.

Bohemian Rhapsody- i die laughing every time i hear it:)

The Prophet's Song.

On that list, Bohemian Rhapsody, which is among my top favorites. However, The Prophet's Song is #1 for me, oddly enough...

Bicycle. It's like a vision of a perfect world of peace and love! I saw a seventh grade orchestion try to play Bohemian Rhapsody, and I've never liked it as much since.

Fat bottomed girls :cool:

Nice one. Another One Bites The Dust is good too.

I think all Queen songs rock, they are my favorite band, but my favorite is "Too Much Love Will Kill You"

Nice one. Another One Bites The Dust is good too.
my literature teacher wants another one bites the dust played at her furneral:p

Fat bottomed girls :cool:

Check out Hayseed Dixie's cover of that some time. Fun!

The Show Must Go On.

Who wants to live forever.

Check out Hayseed Dixie's cover of that some time. Fun!

Okay, thanks. I'll put it on my list :)

my literature teacher wants another one bites the dust played at her furneral:p

Dammit, now I have to think of another one!

*Gets popcorn, waits for homophobes to arrive*

Hmmm. Tough one. Let me just look in iTunes for a sec. I have no idea. I'm not much of a fan of Bohemian Rhaspody myself.

Don't Stop Me Now

good ol fashioned lover boy :D

radio ga ga, the chord changes are powerful enough to shatter the earth, or maybe nevermore, its quite beautiful.

I believe the answer would be "Under Pressure."

I'm going slightly mad

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

If I said I liked THAT scene in Wayne's World, would it give it away? :p

I know everyone loves the tune, and I think loads of their other tunes are excellent (I've only got their greatest hits collection but the first one is great almost all the way through. Except Seven seas of rhye, I can't stand that for some reason) Bohemian Rhapsody is the one that makes me feel the best when 10 of us are up on the karaoke stage, belting it out in drunken harmony. :D

bom bom bom bom bom bom bom...

FLASH!
ah-aaaaaahhhhhhhh!
He'll save everyoneofus!


Flash Gordon Theme for me...

The Prophet's Song.A brilliant song. I also love Death on Two Legs. In fact, I could listen to all of A Night at the Opera over and over again.

who wants to live forever .

bom bom bom bom bom bom bom...

FLASH!
ah-aaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Flash Gordon Theme for me...
DISPATCH WAR ROCKET AJAX TO BRING BACK HIS BODY.

Gotta be the best line in anything. Ever.

DISPATCH WAR ROCKET AJAX TO BRING BACK HIS BODY.

Gotta be the best line in anything. Ever.
Didja know they where making a new one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421201/)?

The bagpipe-esque riff in that tune, with the movie outtakes is da bomb!

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

That's another one that's one of my favorites.

Didja know they where making a new one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421201/)?
Oh. My. God.

If they ruin the ultimate cheese that is Flash, I may have to kill them. And by ruin, I mean change in any way - especially that bit at the end.Or should I say, The End?

Fat Bottomed Girl !

Somebody to love. Religious references aside, it's the story of my life.

FLASH GORDON! FLASH GORDON! :p

He'll save everyone of us...
Fight for everyone of us...

don't stop me now

my literature teacher wants another one bites the dust played at her furneral:p

I had that one played at my wedding.

Fat Bottomed Girls rocks too.

I like most of their music.

Tie Your Mother Down

I had that one played at my wedding.

Fat Bottomed Girls rocks too.

I like most of their music.


I bet her parents were thrilled.

Fat Bottomed Girls is good too. You dont realize how many songs are Queen-and you know all the words til you read this thread.

I....don't like Queen at all. I think Freddie Mercury was a talented singer, but I don't like the band's music.

Oh, you BITCH!!:p

The Prophet's Song, Death On Two Legs & Tie Your Mother Down are all great tracks. I also really like Doin' Alright.

My favourite song is probably Sheer Heart Attack. News Of The World is probably my favourite album.

I say probably because it does depend on my mood & which songs I think of at the time.

Killer Queen.


Dynamite with a laserbeam.

Their oevre was just too large to allow me to pick just one favourite.

Stadium Belter: We will rock you

Ironic song: I want to break free

Rock n' Roller: Crazy little thing called love.

Tearjerker: The show must go on (looked at in context.)

Anyone else here old enough to remember them blowing everyone else away at Live Aid?

Fat Bottom Girls
Don't Try Suicide
Bicycle Race
Somebody To Love
Killer Queen

The Prophet's Song.

On that list, Bohemian Rhapsody, which is among my top favorites. However, The Prophet's Song is #1 for me, oddly enough...

I concur.

Tie Your Mother Down


Yep yyep thats the one. I was amazed it took 2 pages for that one to be mentioned.

Hammer to fall is my favourite track followed by too much love will kill you and flash

Fat Bottomed Girls.
Princes of the Universe.
One Vision.
Flash's Theme.
Who Wants To Live Forever?

*Punch*

Take your complaints to Miles Davis.


Youre not one of those misguided fools who thinks everything Miles did was gold are you?

Sure, sure, Bitches Brew was great....

But I refer you to : Dis is da Drum.


I pwn thee.

Boheimien Rhapsody is a work of art, but as a highlander fan, I gotta say "Princes' of the Universe"

I'm Going Slightly Mad

It's my current theme song. :D

My favorite piece of lyrical and melodical genius belonging to Queen is "The Miracle."

For example, *ahem*

If every leaf on every tree could tell a story
That would be a miracle
If every child on every street had clothes to wear and food to eat
That's a miracle
If all God's people could be free to live in perfect harmony
That's a miracle

Open hearts and surgery
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
Its a miracle

Wonders of this world go on

The time will come, one day you'll see
When we can all be friends...

:confused: I love Seven Seas of Rhye. Possibly my favourite Queen track. Also, Radio Ga Ga, and Princes of the Universe.

'I Want To Break Free'

"But life still goes on,
I can't used to living without, living without, living without you,
by my siddde!!"

Ohhh, sexy song.



'Fat Bottomed Girls' a close second.

Bohemian Rhapsody, of course!!!

Is this the real life, is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide no escape from reality!
Open your eyes, look up to the eyes and SEE!!!
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy...
Cuz it's easy come, easy go, little hi, little lo,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter...
to me! To, me.....

Momma...just killed a man.
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
But Momma...life had JUST begun!!! AND NOW YOU'VE GONE AND THROWN IT ALL AWAY!!!!!!!!!! Momma!!! Ooooeeoo! Didn't mean to make you cry! If I'm not back again this time tomorrow! Carry on, carry on! As if, nothing really matters!!!

I see a little silhouette of a man, SCARAMOUCHE, SCARAMOUCHE, can you do the Fandango? THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTNING, VERY VERY FRIGHTNING! (me!)
Galieleo, Galileo, Galileo Figaro, magnifico...
Basmillah, no, we will not let him go, lethim go! Basmillah, no, we will not let him go! Let him go! Will not let him go! Let him go! Let him go!!!!

If you noticed the flaws its cuz that was all from memory. It's the only three stanzas I remember. And, I spelled everything right, except for Galileo one time. I'm not fixing it. Wow, silhouette, scaramouche, basmillah, yeah, everything...

I admit I've grown fond of this version...

REBELLION RHAPSODY by..well, not Queen.

(sing to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody, strangely enough)


LANDO: This is the good life
This is a fantasy
Working on Bespin
An escape from Reality.
LEIA: Open your eyes
Stand up to these guys and see.
LUKE: I'm just a farmboy, I need some sympathy
'cos who's my dad, I dunno.
Little whine, little moan.
HAN: Anywhere the Force goes, doesn't really matter, to me

IMPERIAL: Vader just killed a man.
Raised an arm up in the air
Now his life's no longer there.
Vader, we had just begun,
And now I've gone and lost the rebel scum.
Vader, oooooooh.
Didn't mean to make you mad
If I'm not alive again this time tomorrow,
There'll be a new admiral, like nothing ever happened.

YODA: Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time.
LUKE: Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and learn the Force.
IMPERIAL: Vader, oooooooooh.
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

LUKE: I see a little silhouetto of a man
Palpatine, Palpatine, can it be the Emperor?
Thunderbolts and lightning, really really hurting me!
R2-D2, R2-D2,
R2-D2, R2-D2,
R2-D2, Where'd you go? C-3PO O O O O O OH!
I'm just a farmboy, nobody loves me.
REBELS: He's just a farmboy, with a dead family.
Spare him this life of such mundacity!
HAN: Spice'll come, spice'll go. Jabba let me go.
JABBA: Bo shuda! (NO, I will not let you go)

HAN: LET ME GO-OOOOOOOOOOO!
JABBA: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

C3PO: Oh R2-D2, R2-D2, R2-D2, Come along.
LEIA: C-3PO has a rebel put aside for meeeee, for meeeeee,
for MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(Stormtroopers start headbanging)

LUKE: So you say you're the dear old dad of mine?
But you cut my hand off and left me to die!
Oh Vader, can't do this to me, Vader.
I know there's some good, I know there's still some good in
you.

OBIWAN: May the Force be with you.
Use the Force to see.
May the Force be with you,
Luke the Force is with you alwaaays.

I feel betrayed yet oddly enlightened

"Klytus, I'm bored. What play thing can you offer me today?"
"Klytus! Are your men on the right pills?"

Does that answer your question? :D

Youre not one of those misguided fools who thinks everything Miles did was gold are you?

Sure, sure, Bitches Brew was great....

But I refer you to : Dis is da Drum.


I pwn thee.

Miles is a God, but as you point out, even Gods make mistakes.

Personally, I hate Kind of Blue. It's his worst album, in my opinion, when you compare it to Jack Johnson, On the Corner, and Bitches Brew.

*slap*

Oh, you BITCH!!:p

Bitch? Do I look like a Bitch to you?

Then why are you fucking me like a Bitch?

*Breaks Svalbardania's neck between my hugh thighs that I don't actually have*

Tenament Funster.

Queen was a great band...and Freddy had simply the most amazing, heartbreaking voice.

My two favorites are Bohemian Rhapsody and The Prophet's Song.

Another one bites the dust. The gladiators song, y'know.

Where was "Don't Stop Me Now"? That is a classic and certainly my favourite.

As we know Queen was one of the best bands ever. So I'm wondering which of their songs is your favourite. They've produced great classics like We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody and many others.
Aye, Queen was one of the most fantastic bands of all time. I love all their songs(except fat-bottomed girls. It just bugs me.) If I had to NAME a favorite, however, I'd have to say "Don't Stop Me Now." I lurve it. It is awesome.

:sniper: I'm going to say killer Queen I mean you cant beat dynomite with a laser beam

I'll go for Keep Yourself Alive here. I still think their first LP is somewhat underrated compared to what came later, but then maybe its just its early-seventies hangover-from-the-hippies vibe of slight disillusionment that appeals to me.

Killer Queen.


Dynamite with a laserbeam.

It took 43 posts for someone to have the correct answer. For shame.

All Queen songs are great! My top favs are "Princes of the Universe" and "Fat Bottomed Girls"

Fat Bottomed Girls. Hell yea.

All of them are good, of course, but my other favorites would have to be Under Pressure (With David Bowie), Killer Queen, and the Bohemian Rhapsody.

God Save the Queen

Where was "Don't Stop Me Now"? That is a classic and certainly my favourite.

Thank God I'm not the only one who remembers that song.

Who wants to Live Forever? is my personal favourite, though Too Much Love will Kill You and Hammer to Fall come very close.

Bitch? Do I look like a Bitch to you?

Then why are you fucking me like a Bitch?

*Breaks Svalbardania's neck between my hugh thighs that I don't actually have*

Oh, I'll take any sort of thigh;)

Don't stop me now. It's that scene from Shaun of the Dead that got me...

I like all of Queen's songs too much to really pick a favorite. I suppose for pure "just makes me happy every time I hear it" value, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" could be considered the winner, but pretty nearly everything listed in this thread is in close contention.

(As a choral singer myself, how could I not love a rock band that actually used real, crunchy, gooey, multi-part harmonies? Yum.)

As much as I hate being forced to choose one, its killer queen. So many come close though.

Don't stop me now. It's that scene from Shaun of the Dead that got me...
Damn Straight. Love the song, love the movie. Put them together and you have the best song and the best movie ever.

Damn Straight. Love the song, love the movie. Put them together and you have the best song and the best movie ever.

Agreed on all counts.
