Bohemian Rhapsody way back in 75. It was like nothing I'd ever heard before and I loved it.
My aunt bought GHII after Freddie's death when I was 8, and we got into this argument about Roger, cos there was a picture of him in the booklet dressed as a woman (IWTBF), and I just couldn't believe he was a man! LOL
So Rog got me into Queen.. ;) And most of the songs on GHII, but especially Breakthru. And after listening to The Freddie Mercury Album later, I remember what an impact Freddie's voice had on me.

Breakthru i couldn't stop playing it over and over i just loved how happy it sounded! i have only liked themfor just about a year and a half
I guess with me it was We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions, because I grew up with the Queen's Greatest Hits CD, then in fourth grade I got it on tape :) The first tape I ever bought on my own. So proud :)
Bohemain Rhapsody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BohRhap and Under Pressure.
I got the platinum collection (GH 1 2 and 3) a few years back and had it there for about 2 years before i actually bothered listening to it. I just got it cos i knew that Queen were one of the all-time great bands.
Then one day i heard "These are the days of our lives" on the radio on a bus coming home, and i remembered seeing that name on the back of my Queen CD, so i went home put it on and i was amazed it was their song cos i loved it so much. So then i just left it playing and got into the rest of GH3. and it was only after that that i gave GH1 and 2 a proper listen (apart from BR, WWRY and WATC) so it was kinda in reverse for me.
I'm so grateful that i finally got into them cos if i had of put it off much longer, i still wouldnt have known how great they were and i probably would have missed the new tour. phew

Death on two legs
When I was young I heard my cousin was saying to my dad that Brian May's guitar sound like chicken or cock on that track, so I checked it out because I was curious and thought he was right.
In the intro Brian's high licks sounded really similar to cockadoodledoo sometimes (in my opinion back then) :D
From that moment I became a fan of Queen and only listened to the ANATO, ADATR and SHA LP's

Somebody To Love - I Remember watching tv and i flicked channels and the tribute concert was on when it was broadcast on easter '92, and i thought that song was just simply the best,then i sort of forgot about it after a while, then in 2002 i heard it at a mates place and he told me it was on greatest hits 3 so i went to the shops to look 4 it but i only saw the platinum collection $40 was definetly worth it i took it home and saw that they had the original on gh1 so i heard that it completly blew me away the complexity of that song and all the multitracked harmonies were just enchanting which is y its my favourite queen song and i love playing it on drums
Long Live Queen!!
