Writer's Block: Killer Queen

I love this band so, so much. Queen are definitely one of my favourite bands evah and so... it's hard to pick my favourite song.

I think their best song is Innuendo but for all its lyrical genius and the intensity of that Spanish guitar, it frightens me!

Radio Gaga was my favourite song as a child and still makes me happy when I hear it.

Days of our Lives is so sad that I cannot.

Somebody to Love makes me intensely happy. Even at Glee, I was all 'raaaargh! It's Somebody to Love!' and super super happy.

However. My favourite is probably Who Wants to Live Forever. I love the gentle quality of Brian May's voice at the beginning, the sad lyrics, that it was used in one of my favourite films growing up and that it's beautiful and sad and profound and Queen at their very best.

Rest in peace, Freddie. There'll never be another like you.

I love Queen and I've seen what's left of them live, although without Freddie Mercury. I've arguments about whether that counts it and almost does.

But honestly, as much as I like them, I can only name like two songs. The rest are just like "Oh yeah this is awesome" when it comes on the juke box.

I'll always love them. I consider the latest incarnation as Queen: the New Tales! Heehee. :D

But that's awesome, isn't it? You don't even have to be a huge fan of them - one of their songs can come on and you're just struck by awesome when it does.

Apart from Bohemian Rhapsody, perhaps. Even as a Queen fan, I get tired of that one. ;)

I found this to be the most impossible question, I can't say which of the singles is my favourite let alone when you include all the album tracks. Just too many to choose from, and I adore all the ones you've listed above, and These Are The Days of Our Lives always brings me to the edge of tears.

I've a vague recollection that Innuendo was the first album (on tape back then when it was released) that I ever bought.

So much love for each of these songs. Let's not forget Show must go on. I used to think those lyrics every time I thought I'd had enough (of anything). Music is so special and Queen definitely had a way with it. Remember this cover?

The Great Pretender

Why do I think he did this sort of close to his death?

"The Show Must Go On" is a song that never fails to bring me to tears every single time. And yes, "Somebody to Love" is THE BEST.
