In memory of the great Freddie Mercury - post your favorite song by Queen

[LynneSin]

Without a doubt for me - Fat Bottom Girls

It's my theme song because yes, I have a Fat Bottom but we make the rockin' world go round

Love, love that song.

Killer Queen is my next favorite.

16. I prefer "Flick Of The Wrist", the flipside to the "Killer Queen" snigle ...

my sisters had that 45 and I liked that song better.

[Flaxbee]

[Rob H.]

9. Not written or sung by Freddie, but...

'39 from A Night at the Opera. Apologies if this isn't the best video--I can't see it here at work.

10. "Keep Yourself Alive"

The first Queen song I ever heard, way back when it was new.

[MorningGlow]

11. This one

"Somebody to Love". The harmonies get me every time--what a great opening.

[Rob H.]

12. Ooh, that's a great choice!

How did that one slip my mind??

[Tobin S.]

20. That's mine, too

Although Queen made a lot of great tunes including what I think was the precursor to thrash metal: Stone Cold Crazy.

26. I cannot get through that song without losing it.

Just watching Freddie, wasted away to almost nothing, yet that voice never wavered. And the look in his eyes is so deep and wise: he's ready, but he has one last part of himself to share with us.

That one, and "The Show Must go on" just tear my heart out.

"I guess I'm learning. I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning around the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free..."



:cry: :cry: :cry:

18. We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions

[PassingFair]

19. For me, it ultimately boils down to:

Hammer To Fall

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU5LMG3WFBw

I could NEVER sit still while this song was
playing, and I'm LAZY!!

[closeupready]

21. I always liked Killer Queen

[taterguy]

22. Under Pressure

Why can't we give ourselves one more chance?

I'm a sucker for good screaming.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

25. These Are the Days Of Our Lives

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymLiw8dnHO4

Ready, Freddy!

[pink-o]

27. I'm partial to that one, too.

Although it destroys me every time I hear it. It's hard to listen to anyway, knowing what we do, but there's something really poignant about a beautiful ballad written in C major. Maybe it's the visceral familiarity, but it's so evocative. That song would not have the same impact if they'd written it a step higher, you just know it.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

28. I thought I'd thoroughly searched this thread

but I missed an earlier posting of this song. No matter- great minds, and all that. :toast:

[cyglet]

29. Unfortunately I can't decide

They just did too many good songs.

[Lindsey]

30. It's not possible for me to post my favorite Queen/Freddy Mercury

song. There are just too many. His voice is truly one of the best ever. I miss you, Freddy. :cry:

[Tripper11]

31. Best frontman EVER!

Radio Gaga - Live Aid '85

33. Spread Your Wings.

What can I say? It spoke to me.

Cool vid, by the way. Never saw it before. Enjoy.
