[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame] Queen’s iconic songs: Must-listen signature tracks chosen by fans (71–80)
Too Much Lives Will Kill YouQueen
With its profound title, “Too Much Love Will Kill You,” this song is a deeply heartrending ballad.
Moreover, it was included on an album released after Freddie’s passing.
Indeed, did Freddie’s decision—spurred by fans’ expectations—to push his ailing body and continue performing live ultimately hasten his death?
Let Me In Your Heart AgainQueen
Isn’t Queen the band that left the world with a mountain of the greatest rock ballads? This particular song by Queen tenderly sings of a steadfast love for a woman who has gone away.
Being able to love someone this much is so cool—it makes you admire them.
With its memorable chorus and a quintessential rock-band guitar solo, it’s a can’t-miss love song packed with highlights.
Flash’s Theme 2007 High Octane MixQueen
Flash’s Theme is a song by Queen, the world-famous rock band from the United Kingdom.
The lyrics and composition were handled by guitarist Brian May, and it’s a track known for its tense bass line, call-and-response vocals, and soaring high-register choruses.
While it serves as the theme song for the film Flash Gordon, it was also used as the theme for Fuji TV’s Formula 1 broadcasts from 2007 to 2008.
That version was titled Flash: The Legendary Hero (High-Octane Mix), and Brian May himself reportedly created a new remix specifically for the program.
Many F1 fans likely look back fondly on that period, remembering the opening sequence that featured the program’s animation.
Princes Of The UniverseQueen
The song that closes out their 12th album, A Kind of Magic, is Princes of the Universe.
It became the theme song for the television drama Highlander, a co-production by the United States, France, Italy, Germany, and Japan.
The track is memorable for its intro, which opens with a grand, spacious choral arrangement and then moves into an ear-catching guitar solo.
True to Freddie Mercury’s style, the melody is intricate, but because there aren’t many fast passages, it’s a rewarding piece to tackle.
However, be careful not to get left behind—the rhythm shifts rapidly throughout.
Thank God It’s ChristmasQueen
The Christmas song released by the British rock band Queen in November 1984 is a heartwarming ballad that portrays year-end gratitude and relief.
Freddie Mercury’s emotive yet restrained vocals beautifully capture the sense of comfort after overcoming the year’s hardships.
While rooted in rock, the calm sound evokes the seasonal spirit of Christmas and Queen’s characteristic depth.
Listening to this song brings to mind warm moments spent with family and friends on cold winter nights.
It’s a number you’ll want to share with someone special on a quiet Christmas evening.
We Will Rock You (Dean Cohen Remix)Queen
When it comes to classic sports day anthems, Queen’s “We Will Rock You” is the one, right? That stomping, the clapping, and Freddie Mercury’s rousing calls—it’s the perfect track to fire up the competitors’ fighting spirit.
In 2018, Queen’s biographical film “Bohemian Rhapsody” was a huge hit.
Even so, there are still lots of kids who look blank and go, “What song is this?” Unfortunately, to ears tuned to modern pop, it just doesn’t sound familiar.
But I totally understand teachers who want those kids to appreciate how great Queen is.
In times like that, let’s meet in the middle and get them used to this remix version first! Don’t worry—this song will surely spark their interest in Queen!
Is This the World We Created…?Queen
The song performed at the very end of Queen’s legendary charity concert event Live Aid in 1985 was “Is This the World We Created…”.
It’s included on their 1984 album The Works, and despite being only about two minutes long, it’s known as one of the album’s most famous tracks.
At Live Aid, Freddie Mercury and Brian May performed it as a duo, and precisely because it’s such a simple and beautiful piece, it lends itself perfectly to a piano arrangement.
The sheet music introduced here is arranged so that the right hand plays the melody and the left hand plays the chords, making it approachable for players who have developed some independence in both hands.
Be mindful of the slight leaps in the left-hand part, and try playing it with emotion!
