What do you think is Queens best song?

I'm not asking what your favourite song is, i'm asking what is the best song by Queen in your opinion?

Explain why?

I thought about this for a while then decided that I can't decide a best song. There's too many different respects in which songs could be considered the 'best'. It's a hard thing to get the head around really. Bohemian Rhapsody is the obvious choice, commercially, critically and culturally hugely impacting, as well as being a beautiful song and one of their best, as well as being largely shunned by some 'hardcore' fans simply because it's the one everybody knows. It's definitely one of their best, if not the best.

No... ask something original and new

Wow, i really dislike this guy.

I would say the objectively best would be something musically sophisticated, but that is a value judgement isn't it? In any case, I would say something like Bo Rap would fit the bill.

I hate it when people try to pretend that art can be judged objectively. It just doesn't work.

For me i would say "Yeah", track 12 from the Made In Heaven album. That track is awesome and a real singalong.

We are the champions.

Overplayed now and taken for granted, but that is why the song is genius. Really simple but nice chord progression, easy to sing lyrics, great sing along show closer, upbeat. Anybody who wins a team competition will probably have sung this song.

It was even given the title of catchiest song (through what I'm sure was scientifically sound methods). See the attached link.

Or maybe it is Bo. Rhap. for obvious reasons, or maybe...

After laborious COMMERCIAL thought: CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE.


1) it will ALWAYS sell
2) its jumping and positive
3) it will always be contemporary

4) given the path "music" is heading it will always br exhilarating but also be an example of people PLAYING music.



Therefore. It IS the ultimate QUEEN track.


Nevermind that my favorites are PROPHETS SONG. And DEATH ON TWO LEGS *for what they SHOWCASE of the breadth of the band. .

This one song will endear them to both. Women and meat head s

It will be their becoming in the 40th century and beyond.

If humankind conceives its sustenance and spirit on this continual course. .. then nothing will be left but FUN because all spiritual leanings will be satisfied by some THING. In a guise.

However. For the Artist. The great heart and the daring.

This AND "rock n roll music" (Chuck berry) will survive IN SPITE of all this CRAP

Somebody to love

No explanation required.......or you're not getting one

I agree with this. You can argue over things, but In the end you can't ever prove them when it comes to art.
