Name some of your favorite Queen songs.

Here's a few of mine.

Somebody to Love- I someday hope to torture a large crowd with a karaoke version of this song. Love it.

39- beautiful and melancholy. Proved that Brian May could carry a tune as well as Freddie.

Don't Stop Me Now- quite possibly the gayest song ever written- and that's a good thing.

Good Old Fashioned Loverboy- I make the SO chuckle every time I play "air triangle" on the "dining at the ritz" line.

You're My Best Friend- beautiful.

I'm in Love with My Car- so absurd and bombastic it's good. Despite some overt sexual innuendo, it really is about a man's love for his car.

A very underrated song.

Ready, Freddy! :yourock:

but Bicycle...just makes me feel good.

:hi:

great tune for a bicyclist like myself.

Oooh, you're making me live

It's on that album that's got a white side and a black side. Queen II? I can't remember the name of the album right now. But I like everything on that album.

from Queen - the self-titled first album.

LOVE that song.

EDIT:
you may be thinking of March of the Black Queen from Queen II - another great one.

But the other is good too. I like Queen's early stuff much better than the later albums.

My favorites are from Sheer Heart Attack up to News Of The World, although I really like the first two albums, and Jazz and The Game are decent too. After The Game, they were pretty hit or miss - some songs brilliant, others... not so much.

I do wish I had seen them when Freddie was alive.

great song to karaoke

Love it - I just got the 12" and blasted it at home last night. What a great tune - it mixes in with Bicycle Race on the single.

and the instrumental of that song was playing on the stereo (a stereo they had for sale, not the store sound system) and it sounded very cool. Great tune, but admittedly maybe anything would have sounded cool to a guy who only has a boombox at home.

:evilgrin:

It's a great song to listen to at the gym, although some people don't appreciate the humor in that context, I guess.

Though I do like "Killer Queen" a lot.

Also '39 and some others you mentioned. I still tear up at Freddie's death.

Sometimes I get to feelin
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shinin - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just dont know
The rest of my life's been just a show


Always reminds me of my teenage years, hanging out with friends, riding horses. Kind of a nostalgia song for me.

Freddie looked terrible. :(

It's probably what I would associate it with. :(

Also one of the greatest videos ever.

Play the Game is probably my fav. I'm kind of a Greatest Hits guy when it comes to Queen though...

Radio Ga Ga, esp. as it's performed at Live Aid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt-Syl8IVJM

RIP Freddie!

Sheer Heart Attack (the song)
One Vision
Dragon Attack
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Tie Your Mother Down

thanks to my older brother. Favorites:

My Melancholy Blues - simply gorgeous piano. A simple loung-ish fun song, but also very touching. AMAZING vocals.

Under Pressure - still sounds great and gives me chills

Tie Your Mother Down, March of the Black Queen/Funny How Love Is, all of Sheer Heart Attack, the song Sheer Heart Attack..

shit, just say every song on every album up to and including The Game, and quite a few songs after that. lol

God save the Queen - Sex Pistols
Dancing Queen - Abba
Queen Bitch - David Bowie
Queen of Hollywood - The Corrs
Lone Star Queen - NY Dolls
Queen of the night - Whitney Houston?

or roller queen by naked raygun..

perhaps something by queens of the stone age?

As far as albums go, The Queen is Dead by the Smiths is pretty good..

:)

She's a killer queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennn..

I also like the "I Want it All" tune on the Dr. Pepper commercials.

Mostly because it makes for a kick ass punk tune when covered by The Straw Dogs,but it was my fav when I was kid too. :)

"Fat Bottom Girls" - because I am one and damn proud of it too
"Drowse" - it's just a wondrously melodic tune that gets me into a good mood
"Some Day, One Day" - Another song that gives me hope
"My Melancholy Blues" - Now here's a secret being revealed to DUers for the first time ever: I have a secret fantasy of singing this song in public sometime, use to think I'd do it like how Michelle Pfeifer sang in 'Fabulous Baker Boys'. I know all the lyrics by heart and it's actually in a range where my voice can best sing.

Somebody To Love
Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy
You're My Best Friend
It's A Hard Life
Stone Cold Crazy

YIKES! I could go on forever. Better not. This is probably one of my all-time, if not my all-time, favorite group

Fear me you lords 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 you'll be mine
At the seven seas of Rhye

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

Storm the master marathon I'll fly through
By flash and thunder fire I'll survive
(I'll survive, I'll survive)
Then I'll defy the laws of nature
And come out alive
Then I'll get you

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
I'll take you to the seven seas of Rhye

I'm going to have to dig out my Queen albums now.

Play the Game
Dragon Attack
A Kind of Magic
Who Wants to Live Forever?
Body Language
Killer Queen

Fucking beautiful song.

"Radio Ga-Ga," for the nostalgia and because Freddie owned audiences with it.

"Tie Your Mother Down," because it's just great hard rock.

"Bring Back Leroy Brown."

"My Melancholy Blues." Beautiful, beautiful song.

"Bicycle Race."

"Killer Queen."

"Fat Bottomed Girls."

"Sheer Heart Attack."

"All Dead, All Dead."

...and many, many more.

Without a doubt
