What's the greatest Queen song of all time? I won't make a poll because I always end up forgetting great songs.

I'm going with Bohemian Rhapsody.


I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

I absolutely detest bohemian rhapsody. I'm pretty sure they only released it as a joke, and lots of people fell for it. I'd say I like Another One Bites the Dust best.

This one, maybe?

Hahaha ... but "detesting" is a hard thing to say!
No, I like the Bohemian Rhapsody, but I think there are much better ones.
Of course "We are the champions" although I heard it definitely too often.
I really like the unplugged version of "Love of my life" where Freddie plays the accoustic guitar. "Another one bites the dust" is a great one as well ...
The prob I do have with Queen is, that their music is polarising me ...
They composed ingenious and unforgettable stuff, but on the other hand ...
What's the point of "Flash Gordon" only to name one of a lot of needless compositions! Or "Radio gaga" I mean .. come on! That's not ambitious music at all, is it?

"Fat-Bottom Girls" :p

I love Bohemian Rhapsody. But I also love We are the Champions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Are_the_Champions) and We will rock you (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Will_Rock_You).


I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

"Fat-Bottom Girls" :p

Nice. I forgot about that one. "Get on your bikes and ride!"

All excellent choices, but I must go for the hard-rockin' Hammer to Fall myself.

How can you choose?
The Show Must Go On is clearly brilliant, so is Breakthru', I love Fat Bottomed Girls (and the song, especially the guitar), Who Wants To Live Forever (especially the little riff near the start), Fried Chicken, the solo to We Will Rock You...
Oh, and Brian May is god.

Nice. I forgot about that one. "Get on your bikes and ride!"

That's just a great line. :cool:

The Nine Inch Nails version of "Get Down Make Love"

The song in this ytmnd:
http://shaunbeatdown.ytmnd.com/

Seven Sease of Rhye

I wish they had really finished it they were suposed to add more but what they have is awsome

Fear me you lord and lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of rhye

Can you hear me you peers and privy councillors
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
I swear that youll be mine
At the seven seas of rhye

Sister I live and lie for you
Mister do and Ill die
You are mine I possess you
Belong to you forever

Storm the master marathon Ill fly through
By flash and thunder fire Ill survive
Ill survive Ill survive
Then Ill defy the laws of nature
And come out alive

Begone with you you shod and shady senators
Give out the good leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours
And with a smile
Ill take you to the seven seas of rhye

i prefer bicycle over anything theve done i dont really like queen sure brian may kicked ass on the git-fiddle but i prefer faster stuff than queen i know im going to hell for this one but oh well

Under Pressure is another great song. Yeah i know it was used by that faker vanilla ice.

Bohemian Rhapsody certainly sticks in my mind, but mostly as negative example. Opera and rock go together like peanut butter and sauerkraut. Not that I didn't like it in a way, but I always liked The Prophet's Song better.

And don't forget Radio Ga Ga!

At risk of horrible derailment... arguable as the best Zombie movie of recent years...

Seven Sease of Rhye

I do like that. Also - I Want To Break Free; Innuendo; Princes of the Universe; One Vision.

Under Pressure is another great song. Yeah i know it was used by that faker vanilla ice.

That is a great song, but having David Bowie onboard for it certainly helped.

I've done it at karaoke, doing the Bowie part. ;)

FLASH!! AaAAAHHH!!

:)

Was going to say Death on two leg,

But yeah, Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round

We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers

Hey...
And here we are
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of your world

Oh!
I am immortal
I have inside me blood of kings (Yeah, yeah!)
I have no rival
No man can be my equal
Take me to the future of new earth

Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe
No man could understand
My power is in my own hand

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
People talk about you
People say you've had your day
I'm a man that will go far
Fly the moon and reach for the stars
With my sword and head held high
Got to pass the test first time, yeah
I know that people talk about me
I hear it every day
But I can prove them wrong 'cause I'm right first time
Yeah yeah

Alright, let's go, let's go
Haha!
Yeh...watch this man fly
Bring on the girls
C'mon C'mon C'mon!

Here we are (here we are)
Born to be kings, we're princes of the universe
Here will we belong

Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe

That whole soundtrack just absolutely rocked

What's the point of "Flash Gordon" only to name one of a lot of needless compositions! Or "Radio gaga" I mean .. come on! That's not ambitious music at all, is it?


Flash Gordon was the soundtrack to the film of the same name

We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers

Hey...
And here we are
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of your world

...

That whole soundtrack just absolutely rocked

Yeah baby! :D

They don't have any. Just mediocre songs that served as filler for radio stations back in the 70s. See: Kansas, Foreigner, Sweet, Styx, and a whole host of other bands with one-word names from the same era.

Each as devoid of quality as a diet cola is devoid of calories.

Somebody to Love.

...Queen?

Ah, of course!

Her Majesty's National Anthem of the Empargh

God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.

Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign.
May she defend our laws,
And give us ever cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen.

Join the New British Imperialist Party, wot!

I WANT IT ALL!

I WANT IT ALL!

I WANT IT ALL!

AND I WANT IT NOW!

Okay, so probably not the best, but hey, no one had named it yet. Or "Don't Stop Me Now" for that matter. And, of course, there's "Friends Will Be Friends."

What's the greatest Queen song of all time? I won't make a poll because I always end up forgetting great songs.

I'm going with Bohemian Rhapsody.

What a silly choice, the biggest hoax in rock history. Anyway the best is ummm can't decide, I'll just nominate the Queen II album.

Tied with "Bicycle"

To avoid mentioning the obvious classics, I'd say "Innuendo" or "I'm going slightly mad" or "One Vision". But of course, "Bohemian Rapsody" changed my life :)

I always was fond of "killer queen".

Sheer Heart Attack for mine, with an honourable mention to Tie Your Mother Down.

FLASH!! AaAAAHHH!!

:)

Bah! I was going to do almost exactly that, except with:
bumbumbumbumbumbum

and

He'llsaveeveryoneofus!

Flash Flash, I love you. But we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!

I like 'Is This The World We Created?'

I can't get "Who Wants to Live Forever" out of my head (too much Highlander-watching lately) so I'll go with that.

I love this thread but I like too many Queen songs to pick just one!

Flash Flash, I love you. But we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!

I like 'Is This The World We Created?'

Dispatch War Rocket & Ajax to bring back his body.

Gordon's ALIVE....

I Want To Break Free, if for no other reason than this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCWW01N8ql4

I'm Going Slightly Mad... it was my theme song over the summer, along with Who Wants to Live Forever.

I will list my top four, they are so close to together that I refuse to choose one.

1a. Bohemian Rhapsody
1b. I'm Going Slightly Mad
1c. Killer Queen
1d. I Want to Break Free

Under Pressure is another great song. Yeah i know it was used by that faker vanilla ice.
he did a pretty good job of it, it was good sampling.

Hammer to Fall is my favourite, great tune, great words.

...so I'm the only one who really likes "I Want It All"? :(

Flash Flash, I love you. But we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!Man, for the longest time I thought the woman on that was Jamie Lee Curtis.

FLASH!! AaAAAHHH!!

:)
*shudders*

There are so many great queen songs.... I can't choose.

...so I'm the only one who really likes "I Want It All"? :(

Nope, great song.

Too many great songs.

But album "Made in heaven" changed my life, and then I worked backward (all the great fast stuff)

I like Crazy Little Thing Called Love. It's simple and short, but it's catchy and well-performed.

i would go with 'princes of the universe'.

FLASH!! AaAAAHHH!!


and yes, it was SO worth posting again :)

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world it's turning inside out Yeah!
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me

I'm burning through the skies Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man of you

If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all

I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode

I'm burning through the skies Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman out of you

I think you can guess....

FLASH!! AaAAAHHH!!

One of the best songs evar. :fluffle:
What do you mean 'Flash Gordon approaching'? OPEN FIRE! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNf9rEPoc8Q)

Bohemian Rhapsody. Other possible candidates include the March of the Black Queen, The Prophet's Song, Liar, Princes of the Universe, and more.

"We are the Champions" :)

It may seem obvious, but "we are the champions" is the perfect thing to break out for those cliche moments.

Funny thing, a guy from my school recently got put on the wall of fame for his performing arts work. As part of the presentation he did a performance of "we will rock you" which required us to stamp and clap (the juniors loved it).

As he introduced it, he noted that many of us may have not heard of Queen. At first I thought "who the bloody hell doesn't know who Queen are?" But then I remembered all the kids who lived off that talentless crap they call "music" in the form of R&B and Hip-Hop. He was probably right.

Hahaha ... but "detesting" is a hard thing to say!
No, I like the Bohemian Rhapsody, but I think there are much better ones.
Of course "We are the champions" although I heard it definitely too often.

Ain't nothing wrong with Radio Gaga.

My 4 favourite songs could be. 'I want it all', Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen and Princes of the Universe

But then there's always...

Ahhh I guess then I'll count that as vote in my favour, I'll now aks you ladies and gentalmen to think hard about this next question.

What is better mighty riffage, or drunken singingaloningness?


Damn me I've just invented a new word woooop! woooop!:eek:

Depends if I'm drunk.
