April 17, 20232 yr Some pretty good ones there, have a lot of love for You're My Best Friend, such a wholesome and lovely song and was used brilliantly in Shaun of the Dead :wub:
April 17, 20232 yr Every song now is an instant classic for me - Hammer to Fall iconic simply because it’s a great song and the way Freddie introduced it to the audience at Live Aid! Your My Best Friend, It’s a Kind of Magic, I Want It All, Crasy Little Thing Called Love and my personal highest pointer if I’d had time to participate (apologies Julian!) These Are The Days a real tear jerker when you look back at the video! Here’s a controversial thought but where the big lead singles better than the albums they came off especially by the late 80s releases? It’s just everyone has Greatest Hits but have any of their albums been classics? Genuine query as I’ve never listened to any of the individual albums but it’s def going to be a project I could delve into when I’ve listened to all the Beatles ones!

April 18, 20232 yr Kind Of Magic should be top 10, my mum adored it and Freddy, and we chose it for her funeral last year. Great Queen albums: A Night At The Opera is genuinely varied and yet works as a complete set of songs, notably '39 which should have been a single. The Works, due to the run of singles off it, and it was a bit of a revival for them ahead of Live Aid.

April 18, 20232 yr So your Queen Top Ten(ement Funster) in chronological order is - 26/10/74 Killer Queen 08/11/75 Bohemian Rhapsody 27/11/76 Somebody to Love 10/02/79 Don’t Stop Me Now 06/09/80 Another One Bites the Dust 14/11/81 Under Pressure 04/02/84 Radio Ga Ga 14/04/84 I Want to Break Free 27/09/86 Who Wants to Live Forever 26/10/91 The Show Must Go On
April 18, 20232 yr oh really thought We are the champions would be top 10 maybe even top 5 Switch that with Killer Queen and the top 10 would be much better
April 18, 20232 yr Great top 10, although I'd have preferred We Are The Champions in place of I Want To Break Free - that would have also meant 10 singles from 10 different years.
April 18, 20232 yr Aww 'Innuendo' so close to the top 10 :cry: but it doesn't feel nearly as ubiquitous as a lot of their others, a pretty forgotten #1, so it's done very well really. Thrilled that 'The Show Must Go On' is still to come!

April 18, 20232 yr I'm pleased 'Killer Queen' has made the top 10. Great song. I'd swap 'Another One Bites The Dust' for 'These Are The Days..' or 'We Are The Champions' tbh.
April 19, 20232 yr Author 10th - Don't Stop Me Now, 1979 Score: 769 Average score: 38.45 Highest: 50 - jimwatts, BananasInPyjamas Lowest: 0 - Smint Polyhex entries: 10/02/1979 Queen Don't Stop Me Now 9 44-38-31-28-22-22-13-{9}-13-16-32-49->12 12/04/2008 Queen Don't Stop Me Now {2007 DL} 47 74-54-{47}-58-57-55-56-59-51-58-64-72-70->13 HgzGwKwLmgM From the album "Jazz", this only reached #9 but did out-peak the lead single "Bicycle Race" / "Fat Bottomed Girls". Of course it has gone on to become one of their most culturally relevant songs, and has been described as one of the happiest songs ever by various studies. It would have finished higher without Sminty's 0, but still wouldn't have been higher than 5th, whereas in the BBC poll and in streaming it places 2nd. I guess as music fans we're perhaps a little more fed up of hearing it everywhere than the public as a whole!
