(Relatively) Obscure Queen Songs on TV?
We were flipping through the channels just now, and on CBS, the end of the current episode of a certain show called "Limitless" was showing...with none other than "Father to Son" playing over the final scenes. I had t...

Hardest Queen Song to Sing
No one mentioned "I Want to Break Free"? I think there's a reason he let the audience sing the first few lines on the Magic Tour. While we're on the subject, I'm pretty sure John Deacon wrote the most consistently cha...

Freddie's best album, vocally?
In case nobody mentioned, it's worth noting that The Game was the first album made after Freddie began smoking. Of course, by then there were other factors that had begun to wear on his voice.

Dreams you've had of queeen
I just remembered this one... For some reason, Freddie--long-haired, 1970s Freddie--was at our local high school football field. I can't remember the specifics, but I got to take my picture with him. None of the other...

Mirror mirror on the wall

Queen's campiest song
Which song, do you believe, were they most self-absorbed and theatrical, and best exemplified their "pomp rock" status? (That was poorly worded...) I like "The Millionaire Waltz" very much in this regard. The guitar s...

What "Era of Queen" did you like best: 70's Vs.80's?
It takes other people saying it for me to realize, but the first six albums are really the best. I would say that Queen I through A Day at the Races firmly established Queen's status as pomp rock/glam rock superstars,...

Queen songs live vs. studio
I love the fast version of "We Will Rock You" live (though it was technically recorded first in the BBC session). "Now I'm Here" was really showing its age by the Magic Tour (in my opinion, it is one of the most dated...

Plagiarism - not so naughty, everybody does it so what have you noticed ?

Queen songs live vs. studio
I fell in love with the live versions of Ogre Battle, White Queen (especially Freddie's piano playing on it), Father to Son, and Son and Daughter when I purchased Live at the Rainbow last year. Those four songs in par...
