Batman Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 I am getting into Queen more, so I was wondering if anyone knew anyone good Queen songs I should get, NOT from Rocks or A night at the opera. I allready had those. Preferably the best from Queen 1, Queen II, Sheer heart attack, day at the races, news of the world, and hot space.
MindCrime Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 Here's some good ones, I'm not sure if they're on the albums you listed though.... Death on Two Legs Killer Queen Princes of the Universe [Highlander Theme] * Sheer Heart Attack Stone Cold Crazy Tie Your Mother Down * = (IMO this is their only good song from the 80's, they tried too hard to blend in with the decade)
MarcM Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 I like "Under Preasure" with David Bowie.
MindCrime Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 I just thought of another good one, "Get Down Make Love" from the News of the World album, Radio had banned this song because of it's hardcore sexually influenced lyrics, but nowadays, they play much more specific songs.
Earth-Angel Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 Somebody to love A kind of magic Under Pressure Radio Ga Ga I Want To Break Free Innuendo It's A Hard Life Who Wants To Live Forever The Miracle Friends will be friends I'm Going Slightly Mad The Invisible Man You don't fool me The show must go on We are the champions

Crazy Don Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 I like "Under Preasure" with David Bowie. I bought a "Queen Greatest Hits" CD at Wal-Mart that had neither that nor "Bohemian Rhapsody" on it. A Queen greatest-hits CD without "Bohemian Rhapsody" on it is like a day without sunshine! What were they thinking, leaving off what is probably the best Queen song of all?
superuninvited Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 That´s weird. I don´t think that it´s the "best" QUEEN-song ever, but it´s the one that everybody should know as the "trademark"-song of them. At least more than "A Kind Of Magic" or such crap. My personal favorite is "Innuendo", but I must add that this one reminds me of Led Zeppelin. I know that Plant has sung it one the Tribute-concert in 1992, but that version was really bad. It´s the last QUEEN-song on which they did what has made them famous...their pathetic style (did I say that right?) and so on. And it´s really HEAVY.
Danielj Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 Queen Greatest Hits on CD is more the rock side i think. There is another one with the same picture on it but it is blue called Classic Queen. That shows their more...opera-like classic style. Personally, I like the one I have on record.It has All the good ones.
Endymion Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 Essential Queen songs that you're unlikely to find in compilations: I'm In Love With My Car You Take My Breath Away Millionaire Waltz Spread Your Wings Don't Stop Me Now
miamisammy29 Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 One of the most underrated songs of all time: "I Want It All".
rico Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 Miamisammy, we must be on some kind of weird wavelength thing here. I was just going to recommend I Want It All. (I swear!) Mercury's vocals soar, Brian May's guitar sears, and their trademark grandiosity rules. Most excellent. But how come no one has mentioned the all-time greatest Queen album--at least in my estimation--Jazz? Though it was not a huge commercial success, it definitely contains some of their strongest songs. Hell, you have to hear Dead On Time, Fat Bottomed Girls, Bicycle Race (the latter two were released together as the single), Mustapha (in which most of the lyrics are in Arabic), their "disco" song, Fun It, and the impressive ballads Jealousy and Leaving Home Ain't Easy. If you want to be a true Queenie, you gotta hear Jazz.
Batman Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Posted September 6, 2004 I've heard that one, and its terrific!
Batman Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Posted September 6, 2004 I would like it if most of the suggestions would be rock
MindCrime Posted September 7, 2004 Report Posted September 7, 2004 Queen has 2 different Greatest Hits CD's, that's why some of their best songs aren't on one or the other. It's been labeled by a few websites as one of the biggest ripoffs in the record industry, but they're such a diverse band, that they need 2 volumes of compilations to showcase their best work.
