I remember the first song I heard is "Was It All Worth It". This excellent song was shown by my dad in his player.

BoRhap. I was 10. It changed everything.

The first song I remember hearing was Princes of the Universe, in the beginning of the Highlander movie.
Who Wants To Live Forever was the song that made me listen to the just-released GH2 (and GH1) album, and become a Queen fan.

Bohemian Rhapsody. On the radio. Strange thing is that I remember exactly the song played before, the last song before the final gong of Bo Rhap made me a Queen fan: Pop Muzik by M.

First song I heard was We are the Champions. It was in 1988 when Holland won the european championschip football. I was 7 then and loved the song. My sister made me a cassette with various Queen songs and I couldn't stop playing the tape.

I want to break free - i was 5 when it was in the chart. I saw the video on top of the pops. It scared the living shit out of me.

Radio Ga Ga and I Want To Break Free. It was 1984/85 and watched both videos on TV. 10 minutes later I was sold to Freddie's hypnotic seduction powers, hahahahaha.... and I was only 8 years old!!
I can also clearly remember watching Bo Rhap on TV those days, and being completely fascinated for the fact that Freddie Moustache and Freddie Long Hair were the same guy..... while the guitar player looked exactly the same ;-)

First song I ever heard was keep yourself alive, on a very crackly radio, late at night listening to Radio Luxembourg, I remember thinking at the time that it wasn't anything special, but later I saw them perform killer queen on top of the pops, I was hooked, went to see them live in Manchester two weeks later for the first of many times !

We Are The Champions. I think I was thinking that this voice has a perfect tone and pitch. I remember being generally fascinated by the whole thing. And after doing some search I found it hard to believe that the guy who recorded WATC in '77 looked so much different in the 80s.

I couldn`t remember...how simple is that ? Queen had massive airplay on german radio stations since BoRhap. You can label me as a fan since Live Aid / A kind of Magic ( from todays point of view really not their best piece of music)

SSOR - I was in first year at Grammar School..and everyone was into Cream/Zep and Sabbath - the arty types were into Genesis, Crimson & Yes.
Anyhow, I really loved SSOR - still do, then along came Killer Queen (which funnily enough I can now take or leave it) but those songs sealed it for me....
After spending my early years listening to dad's Beatles & Small Faces stuff (both long gone) I now had a new interest....and Bo Rhap affirmed this. However, I remember distinctly revising for a school test, listening to late night radio (again Luxembourg) the first time I heard Somebody To Love...and f**king WOW!!! vocally there's nothing to beat it and as songs go it's complete....lyrically, stylistically and the harmonies are pure soul...it really doesn't matter what I'm doing - if it's playing wherever I am I stop and listen to it thru - almost forty years later, I never tire of that song.
