Queen at my work

Not if you settle into the right radio station, Bullwinkle. Q104.3 is good for the tri-state area, but I kinda doubt you live there...

I was slightly exaggerating. Some Chicago area stations do play occasionally in a low key way.

You never hear promotional lines like -

Queen is played here!

Instead you hear -

Journey, Styx, boston, the Rolling Stones, AC-DC, Aerosmith, etc is played here ...

but never Queen.

I listen to Arrow 93.1 (I live in California) and if they play Queen, they always play We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions or Bohemian Rhapsody. I once heard Fat Bottomed Girls, though.

Then again, not a day goes by that I don't hear You Can't Always Get What You Want or Layla. With all the great classic rock out there, they still overplay everything!

Queen Songs I heard at my work (in bath):

Dragon Attack
Sheer Heart Attack
It's Late
The Show Must Go On
A Kind Of Magic
Spread Your Wings
A Winter´s Tale
The Invisible Man
Too Much Love Will Kill U (Brian)
Killer Queen

I fell the glory there, well for two reasons :)

That momma mia song is pretty good... ;D

If my boss is listening to his radio when I'm at work (I'm a part-timer) and Queen comes on he'll yell at me to come in.
Nice really. Since the other people who work in my office prefer hip-hop bollocks and student radio. :-)

But Dreamer's Ball is better.

Oh yes!, also Dreamer's Ball is listened in the "Enviromental sound" at my work, 14 Queen songs, it's no bad from a fan

No, that would be Abba :)

Teaching at a school, i see kids on a regular basis. all of them seem to know at least 5 queen songs... Bho Rap, AOBTD, Break Free, Ga Ga, and of course WWRY and champions.

theres not many bands (of yesteryear) that can claim that.

I mean - how many Beatle songs could most kids name?

Well, I'm in Canada and we have that same Queen desert up here too. We get WWRY/WATC and FBG, and occasionally BoRhap if the station is feeling spunky.

The worst is, along the lines of what stations advertise they play, there's a commercial for Y108 that advertises a whole bunch of bands they play and not one is Queen--yet they play WWRY throughout the commercial! What a shafting.

on the fox they often say your staiton for queen but they barely play them

You are absolutely right! About 2 days ago I was listening to the radio (for the first time in YEARS) and accidentally stumbled upon WWRY and WATC. I know those two songs are way too overplayed (for Queen, anyways) but I still couldn't move! Yet I was angry that they didn't play any other Queen songs.

Then, today, I went to the bank (they usually play soft jazz/classic/old pop) and there you go! The very faint, instrumental version (assuming so because I could hear the instruments but not vocal) of You're My Best Friend! I was just very shocked but so happy that I almost sang aloud with the music :D I'm still not sure what version it is that they played though (they had the volume really tiny).
