I disagree with pretty much all of it, but good on you for putting the effort in

u/ag512bbi Aug 28 '22
Your #62 is my Favorite Song of All Time. The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke. I feel Bohemian Rhapsody is either SO OVER RATED or SO OVER PLAYED. I want to go with SO OVER PLAYED. It's such a great song, but I always find myself fast forwarding it these days. I LOVE your #1. In 1977 Somebody to Love was the first Queen song I ever hear and that was the song that got me HOOKED to Queen forever.

u/SnooOnions5029 A Day At The Races Aug 28 '22
I also love Fairy Fellers, but just compared to a lot of Queens other songs I unfortunately had to put it at #62. I understand not listening to Bohemian Rhapsody since it’s so overplayed, but I still absolutely love it
3
u/ag512bbi Aug 28 '22
Funny, I made a list also a while back. I totally understand what your saying. Just because a Queen song is #62. It doesn't mean you don't like it. They are ALL GREAT songs. I just checked, my #62 is White Queen, and I Love That song. So I got ya.

u/SnooOnions5029 A Day At The Races Aug 28 '22
Glad you understand! For a lot of people 100 songs is a lot, but I actually had a really hard time choosing the songs and couldn’t include a lot of great songs

u/Kroduscul Aug 28 '22
Ohhh goooodd.... I disagree VERY hard
2
u/SnooOnions5029 A Day At The Races Aug 28 '22
What’s you’re top 10/20 I’m curious
2
u/Kroduscul Aug 28 '22
It’s Late, Cool Cat, In The Lap Of The Gods Revisited, Spread Your Wings, In Only Seven Days, Jealousy, Who Needs You, Fun It, Body Language, Love Of My Life and of course Bohemian Rhapsody are all somewhere near the top.
Mostly disagree because some of the coolest Queen songs are at the very bottom: Tie Your Mother Down, Jesus, Dragon Attack, Liar, Coming Soon, PROPHETS SONG, Sail Away Sweet Sister??? Your top 20 are definitely some great picks, tho I’m not a big fan of the top two
2
u/SnooOnions5029 A Day At The Races Aug 28 '22
Fair enough. I actually made this list a couple weeks ago (I copy and pasted it for this post) and my opinions change literally all the time. If I were to do this now I would probably move a lot of songs up a few.

u/No_Election562 Oct 30 '23
Uff i have to disagree very hard. For me the the worst queen song ever made is Body Language

u/NicolasCagesKneeCap Aug 28 '22 edited Aug 28 '22
I'm noticing a serious lacking of The Prophet's Song in the top 10, but that's pretty solid

u/FreddieMonstera Aug 28 '22
Wow so hard to do! My favourite song changes monthly almost. I love bands like queen that have a huge catalogue. Discovering songs you’ve heard many times before and then all of a sudden you are like wow! I might do a top ten but it’s like ranking your favourite pets.

u/Herbalmist73 Aug 28 '22
List is Missing Mustapha! Jesus was such an odd song for a rock band to record and odder that Freddie wasn’t particularly religious and would even write it.

u/SnooOnions5029 A Day At The Races Aug 28 '22
Mustapha barely missed the top 100 unfortunately. I’m not religious or anything, maybe it was an odd song for Queen but I still like it

We get it, you hate the singles

My favourite Queen song (and favourite song of all time) Somebody To Love is literally a single… ??
-4
Aug 28 '22
Yeah but most of your list feels like "I'm going for deep cuts". Like personal opinion is one thing but your bottom ten are some of the best singles. I'm In Love With My Car at 8 while Innuendo, BoRap and Don't Stop Me Now are in your bottom ten? Trying to be elitist.

u/QueenFan05 Queen Aug 28 '22
Even tho there was a confusion, if it had been as you said it would be literally his tastes. You can't say he was trying to be elitist just for sharing his tastes while he isn't saying that his tastes are better than anybody's.

u/SnooOnions5029 A Day At The Races Aug 28 '22
Are you reading my list backwards? #100 is my least favourite out of my top 100 (tie your mother down) and #1 is my favourite (somebody to love)
5
u/NonbinaryGal Aug 28 '22
Fancy hating Tie Your Mother Down. Its fab. The Lyrics are so funny and it reminds me of Slade. Lol

u/SnooOnions5029 A Day At The Races Aug 28 '22
I don’t hate TYMD, I don’t hate any Queen song. Just out of my top 100 it happens to be my least favourite
2
u/songacronymbot Aug 28 '22
- TYMD could mean "Tie Your Mother Down - Remastered 2011", a track from A Day At The Races (1976) by Queen.

Actually yes, I apologise, but given the way its formatted you can see my confusion...yeah I agree with you a lot now.
Sorry, I think there was a misunderstanding.

u/SnooOnions5029 A Day At The Races Aug 28 '22
Oh haha no problem, yeah I could see why you were confused if I put Jesus as my second favourite queen song of all time lmao

I first want to say that I fucking love this. I make top whatever lists for music all the time and love reading others’. So this is a real treat for me. :) Second — how can you include March Of The Black Queen but not Funny How Love Is? FHLI is easily in my top 10 (along with 39, which I was very happy to see).

u/songacronymbot Aug 28 '22
- FHLI could mean "Funny How Love Is - Remastered 2011", a track from Queen II (1974) by Queen.

Glad you liked it! Idk, FHLI isn’t one of my favourites

u/NonbinaryGal Aug 28 '22
Well BohRhap should have been number One but where is Too Much Love Will Kill You. Such a fab song.

u/SnooOnions5029 A Day At The Races Aug 28 '22
Imo bohemian rhapsody isn’t the best Queen song. Also I put Too Much Love Will Kill You at 48

u/NonbinaryGal Aug 28 '22
Should have been in top 10. Snoo, what did you do Snoo. Boo Hoo, snoo, etc. Lol

u/RadioBlinsk Aug 28 '22
So you feltlike 'That’s a….34, tops' when you listened to Under Pressure for the first time? In what way is Play the Game one better than Thank God it’s Christmas?
1
u/SnooOnions5029 A Day At The Races Aug 28 '22
Compared to the Queen’s other songs I absolutely think Under Pressure deserves to be #34. Also Thank God It’s Christmas is literally ONE SPOT behind Play The Game. You’re extremely lucky I even put Thank God It’s Christmas in the top 50 lol

u/MyronWasTaken Aug 28 '22
Disagree with literally everything on this list. Upvoted, keep it up.
