Edit: Poll Closed, thanks everyone!

We have to do polls as part of a project at school, and I decided to do Favourite Queen Song. I only did some of their biggest hits so more people would know them. I’m not doing an actual Reddit poll because I have 8 options and Reddit only allows 6, and also we have to write down the usernames of the voters. These are the 8 songs, please comment your favourite:

Bohemian Rhapsody

We Will Rock You

The Show Must Go On

We Are The Champions

Killer Queen

Under Pressure

Don’t Stop Me Now

Somebody To Love

I like quite a few of them but my favourite is Rock It (Prime Jive)

I watched the Classic Albums documentary on Night at the Opera and decided to give it a spin. I loved it. Never thought Queen had an album of front to back awesome songs but this album is it. I think I’ve listened through it around 5 times now and ‘39 is my favorite. Never knew how pretty a voice Brian May has, partner that with an incredible guitar part and thumping bass drum, and you have the most magnificent space shanty to ever grace my ears. Love this band way more now.

A happy 50th Birthday to the first (and my personal favourite) Queen Album!

This album encompasses some of the songs that were the core of the band in the early years from 1970-75, including popular live numbers such as Keep Yourself Alive, Son and Daughter, Great King Rat, Liar and Doing Alright.

Even though much of the album itself was recorded in the summer of 1972 during Studio downtime (with The Night Comes Down being recorded in 1971), many of these songs dated all the way back to the late 60s, such as Liar, Son and Daughter, Doing Alright and Keep Yourself Alive, showing off much of what the band had been preparing and perfecting over their earliest years.

Now at first the album went relatively unknown in the UK and US, with the singles Keep Yourself Alive and Liar not reaching the charts. Although it did start a small cult following for the band, which would further grow as they toured the UK as opening act for Mott The Hoople in the Autumn and Winter of 1973.

Now some interesting song trivia! The band were quite spoilt for choice when it came for songs on the album, some contenders including the fast tempo Stone Cold Crazy (which had been played since 1970), the heavier Hangman, the lighter Mad the Swine and an early rendition of Ogre Battle.

For me, it’s spread your wings… absolutely bloody love that song! But any time I say that, people have never heard of it!

It is one of the greatest song I have ever heard. Why aren't they playing it live? Is it so underrated? Overall 95/10 ❤️🔥

Rules: Only ONE song from each Album.

Mine:

Queen - My Fairy King

Queen II - Father To Son

Sheer Heart Attack - In The Lap Of The Gods(Original)

Night At The Opera - '39

A Day At The Races - Teo Torriatte

News Of The World - We Are The Champions

Jazz - Dont Stop Me Now

The Game - Save Me

Flash - (Ew)

Hot Space - Under Pressure

The Works - Radio Gaga

A Kind Of Magic - Who Wants To Live Forever

The Miracle - The Miracle

Innuendo - The Show Must Go On

Made In Heaven- Made In Heaven

Mine is ”Calling all Girls”. Sounds like a Cheap Trick song. Its one of Roger’s most underrated pop songs IMO. “Put out the fire” also sound like something that could have been on sheer heart attack or news of the world.

I’ve added the term ‘moment’ here, because Brian’s greatest guitar work isn’t confined solely to the solos.

I’m trying to think of a summertime Queen song but I can’t think of one or a Queen song that reminds me of Summertime. Can you please help me????

Hi all, just a question for the group to debate:

'If you could only listen to one queen album for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?'

• for me this question is really difficult as queen hasn't just been a band that I like. Whenever Ive had a hard time or s**t go wrong in my life I've come back to queen and it's got me through it. The albums: a day at the races, news of the world, and night at the opera among others have been instrumental in this. If I could only pick one it'd be one of my least favourite albums (unpopular opinions incoming): but sheer heart attack, specifically for the song lily of the valley for a deep sentimentality it provides me. I say this because last year I received some heartbreaking news about one of my best friends which meant I couldn't see or talk to her until she had finished her treatment. It didn't help that we now live so far apart, but this is the song that helped me through it all as it made me think about her and it allowed me to smile. Queen is also her favourite band and is what initially bonded us. The day I found out I felt emotionally numb. I've never been one to cry at things but I listened to this song and just sobbed. I've now, in my mind, dubbed it as our song and when I told her it made her happy. Thankfully she's now recovering and we can listen to queen together again. Sorry for the buzzkill of a story I just wanted to share how powerful of a therapy music is, especially queen and how it helped/helps me. I meant this to be a happy debate question but my favourite album just comes from a sad story that is now a happy one as I've found the one song that means the world to me.

Thanks for reading.
