I personally love the little shouts of "Breakthru!" in the choruses of Breakthru, especially the last chorus with the key change.

Two to add: 'The Hero' soundtrack version.
Rocks: 'NoOne But You'.
Admit it, that final chorus tugs your heart at every listen.

Yes, it does. Especially Roger's high harmony there. No falsetto, just his magnificent head voice. He had so many great moments as a backing vocalist that he'd deserve his own separate topic (so would Fred and Brian, actually).

That's a great idea Sebastian. Backing vocals and harmonies are different beasts and Queen's BV's were supreme.

I think my favourite in any Queen song might be at the climax in Nevermore, during and immediately after 'Sent me to the path of nevermore when you say you didn't love me anymore' - combined with the increased tempo, it gives me chills every time.

If only they released an a cappella version of that one.

* News of the World: 'Who Needs you' ('Where is that helping hand' line).
* Jazz: 'Dead on Time' ('Oh no matter' at end of chorus).

I always liked the harmonies on the night comes down, I wouldn't say theyre the best but its such a cool song that no one ever talks about and the harmonies have a cool atmosphere
