I've been dropping hints about this and now I've finally let the curtain open, even though some people might toss it aside. Now keep in mind it's my list. if you think some songs should be higher or lower I appreciate it. But if you're going to just ramble about how 'ohhh you left obivous great ones out' and 'this list is rubbish' I don't want to hear it. The list is biased on the singles heavily seeing as I started my Queen career with Platinum Collection, but eleven album tracks make the cut as well. Here with go (with ANATO and MiH being prosperous with six tracks from each)... my top 50 Queen songs!!!! #50 - Flash #49 - KYA #48 - Long Away #47 - Bicycle Race #46 - Don't Try Suicide #45 - Rain Must Fall #44 - Heaven for Everyone #43 - Sunday Afternoon #42 - Let Me Live #41 - I'm Going Slightly Mad #40 - Under Pressure #39 - Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy #38 - Fat Bottomed Girls #37 - Death on Two Legs #36 - Invisible Man #35 - YMBF #34 - Radio Ga Ga #33 - Put Out The Fire #32 - It's A Beautiful Day #31 - Seaside Rendezvous #30 - Break Free #29 - Innuendo #28 - The Miracle #27 - Millionaire Waltz #26 - CLTCL #25 - Friends Will Be Friends #24 - Kind of Magic #23 - I Want It All #22 - Play the Game #21 - TSMGO #20 - Breakthru #19 - Made in Heaven #18 - Don't Stop Me Now #17 - No-One But You #16 - Killer Queen #15 - Days of Our Lives #14 - You Don't Fool Me #13 - Hammer to Fall #12 - '39 #11 - WatC #10 - Somebody to Love #9 - WWRY #8 - Headlong #7 - Now I'm Here #6 - Seven Seas of Rhye #5 - A Winter's Tale #4 - AOBTD #3 - It's A Hard Life #2 - One Vision #1 - Bo Rhap (it was inevitable, really...) |

Br...thanks for taking the time to make that list! I like all of the songs on your list...I'd probably just shift the order around a bit. I always LOVE reading other fans' list of favorites. |
| PrimeJiveUSA 06.05.2011 11:51 |
One thing I noticed about your list that I find VERY refreshing is the abundance of 80's and 90's songs on your list. So many fans discard all of the stuff they did after The Game and it's a shame. I'm the first to say that 70's Queen is the best...but 80's and 90's Queen is fantastic too. It's like they were 2 different bands in style and approach. HaHa...I guess my two favorite bands of all time would be ranked: 1)70's Queen 2)80's and 90's Queen 3) Led Zeppelin etc...etc. |

There's no way I'm gonna name my top 50 but my personal top 5 favorite would be: 1. Bohemian Rhapsody (Like br5946 said, it's inevitable and it's without a doubt the greatest song ever writen) 2. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy 3. Somebody to Love 4. White Queen 5. Killer Queen Least Favorites: 1. Fight From the Inside 2. Loser in the End 3. Fairy Feller's Master Stroke 4. More of that Jazz 5. The Miracle |

I hate these lists but I'm bored so here's 50 songs I love. Not even sure if it's 50 but there you go. Doing all right Great king rat My fairy king The Night comes down Father to son White queen Ogre battle March of the black queen Funny how love is Brighton Rock Tenement funster Flick of the wrist Lilly of the valley Now I'm here In the lap of the gods Death on two legs You're my best friend Sweet lady You take my breath away The millionaire waltz Drowse All dead all dead Spread your wings Get down make love It's late My melancholy blues Jealousy Dead on time In only seven days Don't stop me now Play the game Dragon attack Need your loving tonight Coming soon Cool cat Under pressure Tear it up Man on the prowl Keep passing the open windows I go crazy One vision Friends will be friends Who wants to live forever Princes of the universe I want it all Breakthru Hang on in there Innuendo Headlong A winters tale |
| brENsKi 07.05.2011 08:12 |
i'm not going to dismiss your list...because everyone is entitled to their opinion but one comment: you say bo-rhap at no1 was "inevitable"...if that is so, why did you not include Freddies original 3-songs in one "bo rhap conception"? Fairy Fella/Nevermore/Black Queen find it hard to believe |
| PrimeJiveUSA 07.05.2011 16:53 |
Hi brENSki- Please...I want to see your list. I love lists from fellow fans! |

brENsKi wrote: why did you not include Freddies original 3-songs in one "bo rhap conception"? Fairy Fella/Nevermore/Black Queen ==================== Quite simply, because those three songs didn't change the rules of pop music at the time - BoRhap did. And they were not nearly as accessible. BoRhap is not only Queen's greatest song, but also one of the most groundbreaking and influential pieces of music of the last 100 years. |

I really like Paulosham's list, only I would switch 'All Dead, All Dead' for 'the Fairy Feller's Master Stroke' and Headlong for 'The Show Must Go On' or 'All Gods People' ..(way to go Paulosham!) |
| scollins 08.05.2011 02:36 |
where is you and i on these lists? |
| dysan 08.05.2011 05:56 |
This will be tricky! I find that my favorite songs are not generally the ones I listen to the most. Something like Coming Soon would end up as number one, purely because I listen to it loads before going out at night :o) |
| plumrach 10.05.2011 02:50 |
just going to list my top 25 my choices change all the time depending on how i feel at the time but here goes Bohemian Rhapsody Another One Bites The Dust Somebody To Love Under Pressure The Show Must Go On These are the days of our lives You Take My Breath Away Kiler Queen Dont Stop Me Now I Want To Break Free Crazy Little Thing Called Love Its A Hard Life We are The Champions We Will Rock You Radio Gaga Hammer To Fall No One But You (if that counts as a full Queen song) Your My Best Friend Play The Game Save Me Now Im Here Tie Your Mother Down Seven Seas of Rhye Fat Bottomed Girls Bicyle Race |

It's very much interesting to see everyone's lists. I think I'll add my own list to this as well. Though by the looks of it, mine differs greatly from the others. 1. Scandal 2. I'm Going Slightly Mad 3. Friends Will Be Friends 4. You Don't Fool Me 5. Flick Of The Wrist 6. Death On Two Legs 7. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy 8. Back Chat 9. No One But You (Only The Good Die Young) 10. Keep Passing The Open Windows 11. Keep Yourself Alive 12. I Want It All 13. Headlong 14. The Miracle 15. Doing Alright 16. Is This The World We Created? 17. Spread Your Wings 18. Father To Son 19. Mustapha 20. Jealousy 21. These Are The Days Of Our Lives 22. Misfire 23. In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited 24. Mother Love 25. It's A Beautiful Day 26. Dear Friends 27. You're My Best Friend 28. Save Me 29. Get Down, Make Love 30. Was It All Worth It 31. Princes Of The Universe 32. Invisible Man 33. Pain Is So Close To Pleasure 34. Let Me Live 35. Funny How Love Is I did 35, I was planning to go to 50, but I'm growing too tired to continue. I will mention though, that my list isn't set in stone, it actually fluctuates quite often. Also, I find myself to enjoy newer Queen rather than old Queen. You'd be more likely to catch me listening to say The Miracle, Innuendo, or Made In Heaven than you would say Queen 2 or News Of The World or Night At The Opera. I'm not saying I don't like the older songs, I just seem to favor the newer. But yes, these lists are fun to make!! |
| PrimeJiveUSA 10.05.2011 18:35 |
Jay Dubbman...what an awesome(and somewhat surprising) list! LOL...Yes making lists like these can be tiring and frustrating...with a LOT of "second-guessing" as to if you've got it "right". That's probably why I don't do them much...I'm too lazy. But I love reading the lists of others. Sometimes, it makes me realise "YES...that song IS good!". I love The Miracle, Innuendo and Made In Heaven, as well! |
