I'm sure this has been done a trillion times over, but what songs do you know that sample Queen tracks? Of the top of my head I can think of Ice Ice Baby sampling Under Pressure - how Vanilla Ice thought he could use the greatest bassline ever I'll never know - and Public Enemy's 'Terminator X to the Edge of Panic' which samples Flash, and quite tastefully so, I must say. Considering I'm really not a hip-hop fan much at all, that's saying something.
I recall there being a rap song in the film 'Sucker Punch' (AWFUL AWFUL MOVIE but that's aside the point), which sampled I Want It All and We Will Rock You's choruses, slowed down a lot.
Busta Rhymes samples'Dust'bassline on Dangerous single 2nd mix

a couple of points:
1. why will you "never know" ? his sample produced as big - or bigger worldwide hit than Under Pressure
2. "greatest bassline ever" ? really? ...seriously? that's the most queen-centric statemetn i ever heard...it's NOT even Queen's greatest bassline - let alone greatest bassline ever....have you never heard of Chic?
brENsKi, I have heard of Chic, Good Times is absolutely fab, and I respect Bernard Edwards to the hilt, but John's bass work on Under Pressure blows my mind.
