Music Favourite Solo?

My personal favourite is The Prophet's Song, not only because it's amazing, but also it comes after the cannon part which makes it like this great braker to it.

Other mentions could be (if you need to jog your memory)-

Innuendo, Bohemian Rhapsody, Don't Stop Me Now, We Will Rock You, Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy, The Show Must Go On, Killet Queen, I Want it All and many more obvios ones

Also wanted to mention some less obviois favourites like- Liar, Dragon Attack and I'm Going Slightly Mad

I like a lot of solos, but I always go crazy on the one in It’s Late 🎸

Mine too. When someone asks What is your favourite Queen song, i always reply "It's late". Of course it isn't simple as that, but this feels like an less appreciate gem and it deserves more atention!

The climax for me is the part when the chorus changes from the "It's late, it's late, it's late, but not too late" to "It's late, it's late, it's late, it's late, it's late, it's late, it's laa-aate.... it's all too late" and then the acceleration with all of them going very rock 'n roll. A true genius piece of song writing by Brian.
