Love tons of them...probably Tie Your Mother Down is my favourite straight ahead rock song of theirs. But have to give a nod to Fat Bottomed Girls. I love a good tongue-n-cheek song, and it's got a great guitar sound.

I've always been fascinated by Innuendo, I don't know what it is, it has some weirdness to it, the way it's built, the 180° changes and the way it all fits and transitions smoothly.

And, I'd also like to mention the intro and weird feel to "I'm Going Slightly Mad" :)

Fight From The Inside. Always loved the interplay on the left and right side guitars played by Roger. Roger's bass part is quite cool as well.

Glad there is so much love for Queen!

It wasn't until recently that I've really dug deep and got into their work, but holy fuck!! That's where my vote goes for best rock and roll band ever. So many different styles and vibes going on all in one band. I love listening to a single album, and hearing so many different styles of music!

If they came around today, no-one would have given a shit I don't think. Seems today if you don't have a singular, focused direction, it won't work.

I'd definitely have to vote "Hammer to Fall", there is some thing about the solo that's just awesome.

I love "Flick of the Wrist" into "Lily of the Valley" off Sheer Heart Attack...Queen's best album. :dude:

i really like "sheer heart attack" from the news of the world record. full-on punk vibe!
+1 on "fight from the inside". i like "dragon attack", too. john and roger bringing it.
check "white man" from a day at the races (i think); i may be wrong on the title, too. i think it's the 2nd or 3rd cut on side 1.

incredibly talented and versatile band. they could play the most sensitive, moving ballads then tear your head of with killer heaviness. one of my faves for ever.

that song is so moving. It also brings back memories. they use guitar sound to great effect. It fits so well into the film. this song lives forever defying the lyrics.

I have so many (Queen nut here!!) But Bo Rhap is what got me into music and guitars over 30 years ago so I will have to say that. A close second would be Sail Away Sweet Sister from the Game album. Such a sweet song and with Brian on vocals too.

Me and the Mrs did a cover of 39' a few years back....

I really love the album version of I Want it All. Great intro and that little guitar part before the faster middle part is really amazing.

Wow what a tough choice to make. Queen is one of my all time favorite bands. I don't think I've ever met a person that didn't like something that Queen has done. The music is so diverse and it really stands the test of time. My teenage kids really like Queen too. What's not to like?

The other day this song came around on my MP3 player, maybe one of the lesser known songs, but I think really shows FM's vocal capabilities.

Brian May's guitar at 1.29 sounds like a lion on steroids. My dream sound!!

And then there's the (imho) the most technically difficult song they ever did...

nb. this sounds best with headphones at full volume and a gut full of JD plus other substances!! :)
