[Rock & Roll Hall of Fame] Queen’s iconic songs: Must-listen fan-selected classics (81–90)
I Was Born To Love YouQueen

A song that was reappraised in Japan after being used as the theme for the TV drama “Pride.” It was originally released as a solo track by vocalist Freddie Mercury, but a version arranged by the members of Queen was included on the posthumous album “Made in Heaven.” The original’s refreshing arrangement is cool, but the band-arranged version is a high-energy track bursting with Queen’s signature style.
Starting from the chorus, it instantly ramps up the listener’s excitement to top speed—a number that makes you wish you could have seen it live.
Queen Rock MontrealQueen

I still remember the shock I felt when I first heard the rock monument Bohemian Rhapsody.
They incorporated operatic elements, the mood of the song changed repeatedly, and in places where a typical rock band would have shouted, QUEEN delivered harmonies.
In an era when blasting, hard-driven guitar rock was the mainstream, every track they released featured remarkable twists.
This live footage is packed with QUEEN’s hits.
Enjoy it along with countless memories, and the sight of them bounding across the stage with boundless energy!
Under PressureQueen

Formed in London in 1970, Queen is known for Freddie Mercury’s powerful vocals and Brian May’s distinctive sound created with his custom guitar, the “Red Special.” This work is a collaboration with David Bowie, released in October 1981.
It portrays the pressures of life and the complexities of human relationships, calling for love and compassion.
Born from an impromptu session at a studio in Switzerland, the track features an unforgettable bassline and a moving melody.
It’s a recommended listen for those interested in social issues or who want to feel human drama through music.
You’re My Best FriendQueen

A breathtakingly beautiful song that stands among timeless classics.
Crafted by Queen’s bassist John Deacon as a heartfelt tribute to his wife, this gem was recorded in London in August 1975 and went on to become a massive hit, achieving Platinum certification in the United States.
Its light, dancing electric piano tones and Brian May’s magical guitar sound leave a lasting impression.
The lyrics, filled with gratitude for a loved one, resonate deeply with listeners.
Play it while thinking of someone dear, and you’ll feel a warm sense of friendship emerge.
It’s A Beautiful DayQueen

This song was used in a 2007 commercial for Honda’s FIT.
It’s included on an album that was produced after the band’s lead vocalist, Freddie Mercury, passed away.
It’s said that Freddie wrote this song knowing he didn’t have much time left.
Keeping that in mind as you listen makes its beauty even more apparent.
We Are the ChsmpionsQueen

Graduating is something to be very proud of.
At times like this, let’s all sing that we are the champions.
The lyric about there being no time for losers might be a bit bold, but just for today, everyone is a champion.
So sing it out with confidence.
