Could you pls help me list Queen songs that significantly use this cliché ? I'm sure Sebastian has the answer ready :)

Hammer to fall comes to mind

It's not a cliché, it's one of the foundations of functional harmony.
Not Plutus but Apollo rules Parnassus
Right off the top of my head, theres We Will Rock You, It's Late, A Kind Of Magic..........

Hammer to Fall, Let Me In Your Heart Again for the middle eight. I think, combined with King of Rhye's post, that's just about all of them.
The Hero ((verses), One Vision (chorus), It's Late (verses, with embellishments). Enough to go around I'd say.
Put out the fire

"Queen is the only band in the world that can play so heavily that your nose bleeds, then offer a silk handkerchief to clean up with."
its such a common progression you could probably find it in way more songs...........anyone else (like any guitar players) notice, though.....the riff in HTF (the 'you dont waste no time at all' part) almost could have been ripped off from Crazy Train? lol
