Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Queen’s iconic songs. Must-listen signature tracks chosen by fans (51–60)
Don’t Try So HardQueen
A song written by Freddie.
The loud noise in the intro is a preset sound from a Korg M keyboard.
It’s included on their 14th album, Innuendo, released in 1991.
This album became the last studio album of Freddie’s lifetime.
Dragon AttackQueen
A song that emerged from a jam session in the band’s studio.
It began with a basic bass-and-drum loop, after which lyrics and melody were added by Brian.
It’s also known as one of John’s favorite songs.
I Can’t Live With YouQueen
This song is included on the last album released during Freddie’s lifetime.
At the time, he had already contracted HIV—the band members knew, but it hadn’t been made public.
The lyrics, as if speaking to Freddie’s inner state of mind, convey an aching and heartrending emotion.
Doing All RightQueen
A song created by Brian and Roger during Smile, the band that preceded Queen.
For the soundtrack of the film Bohemian Rhapsody, they reportedly re-recorded it to recreate Smile’s original performance, bringing in Tim Staffell, who had been Smile’s vocalist.
MustaphaQueen
Freddie isn’t actually purely British.
Strictly speaking, he was of Persian-Indian descent, and it was precisely because of that background that he was able to write this Arabic song.
Even though it’s in Arabic, it’s a superb track that doesn’t lose Queen’s signature style.
And by placing this song as the first track on the album “Jazz,” it shocked fans at the time.
