Generally, I'd say Another One, but because of that glitch in time when some rip-off-disgrace stole Under Pressure. People who were into rap will recognize that first. This is really hard. That's like asking, which is more famous? We Will Rock You or We Are the Champions? Both comparisons are pretty equal.
mmmmmm well imo its bites the dust! its queens biggest seller in the usa 4.5+million i think,
and that fucker vanilla ice wants a good fucking slap for that rip-off bass line, under pressure,
Actually the other day i was watching this current affairs type thing and they had a thing about bass players. They were talking about famous basslines (they only mentioned two i think) and the first one was aobtd. That was good except they showed part of the wyclef jean video so i was quite pissed off about that.
Then the next one they said was "the song that defined a generation" ice ice baby. Quite annoyed that they gave vanilla ice the credit for that one.
I would have been really angry that they showed no footage of queen at all considering they created both of those bass lines but at least they showed John standing behind Freddie while he played the piano in bo rhap as they were talking about the bass players being overshadowed by the lead singers.

I don't think so, either.
I just think it was Brian being the "nice guy".
I downloaded the interview for school about 8 years ago.
Maybe it can still be found...?

i actually have AOBTD as my ringtone and i was choosing between that or UP and i thought if other ppl heard UP they'd think i had a vanilla ice ringtone...how wrong
the only problem i have with him ripping it off is that he did it blatantly...it wasn't even just the bassline, it was the piano and the snaps all together

i know. but i think Brian heard it before it became really huge cuz someone played it to him and he thought it was crap and it wouldn't do well so he thought "why bother" maybe
