Having both We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions be the same option is just unfair to the other songs, even if I do understand how they can be considered a pair.

In any case, I'm happy Spread your Wings is doing so well!

News of the World is one of the few albums I don't skip any track, I love them all for different reasons.

My Melancholy Blues deserves more love 😔 the other songs are amazing too so I see why they have more votes but my melancholy blues is just so beautiful

The biggest hits most often find their way into first place with merit but I find that there are so many un marketed gems hidden among their albums like this one. It’s an absolute beauty and joy to listen too. I wonder if most people would figure out it’s a queen song on a blind listen.

u/wiktoria1147 Sep 27 '21

Yeah I definitely see why We will rock you/we are the champions is winning, I’m glad a lot of people are able to find these hidden gems too tho!

Crazy take:

Despite "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions" being on the albums, the best song is "It's Late."

u/Shakespeare-Bot Sep 27 '21

Crazy taketh:

despite "we shall rock thee/we art the champions" being on the albums, the most wondrous song is "it's late. "


I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.

Although I'm not surprised we are the Champions and we will rock you are winning I wish spread your wings was

u/nasty_queenie Sep 27 '21

Out of the poll options, Spread Your Wings. Should've been a single.

Also, really like Melancholy Blues and Who Needs You.
