Best cover made by Queen?

'Jailhouse Rock' comes in a close second place.

09.11.2004 12:59		 Wish they had done more, I like most. They could make bad songs sound great (this goes for some of their own songs) and great songs even better. Perhaps I like Imagine best, although or because it is very simple.

09.11.2004 13:52		 I had a good recording of the Immigrant Song, always enjoyed that. 1986 in Manheim I think, i could be wrong.

BTW, was that Freddie on the "aaaaaaaah aah" part?
I keep thinking it's Roger.

09.11.2004 14:24		 I also liked Since You've Been Gone which the Brain May Band played (but coz Cozy was on drums I don't know whether that should count).

09.11.2004 14:45		 Love Jailhouse Rock and Tutti Frutti and Imagine's alright.
But they didn't cover a lot did they? only the rock 'n roll medly's.
So I'll go for: Jailhouse Rock
Lester Burnham
09.11.2004 14:54		 I will second 'Tutti Frutti' (even a non-Queen friend of mine thinks it's a great rendition) and 'Hello Mary Lou'.

It was Roger and i think it was made purely for fun in the best Queen tradition!

Nah, it's on the original Led Zep version as well, so I think it was carefully planned.
umm, Yes, I know that. The scream part was original, was just wondering because Freddie wasn't too keen on high notes by that time.

09.11.2004 16:46		 freddie sounds so cute when he does stupid cupid!!! and i LOVE freddie's agressiveness in big spender!
John S Stuart
09.11.2004 16:51		 The best Queen COVER ever... A Night At The Opera!
(Although Sheer Heart Attack and Day At The Races Were good too).
The worst Queen COVERS? The Miracle, and Jazz perhaps?

See what a fool I've been is not a cover.
It's written by Brian May inspired by "That's How I feel"

10.11.2004 06:30		 Only Queen ? I like Rog's Covers, Masters of War is very poignant in his version, and Working Class Hero is a great song anyway !

I found it from WinMX. But I think that that screaming was Freddie's.. It just doesn't sound Roger for me. Well, I don't know..
But best covers are Tutti Frutti, Jailhouse Rock and Imagine.

22.11.2004 11:54		 I think they do Tutti Frutti very well!
And Saturday Night's... I think they
should have played the whole song though.
