[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame] Queen’s iconic masterpieces: Top 10 must-listen tracks chosen by fans (1–10)
Love of My LifeQueen
A gem of a ballad composed by Freddie and said to be dedicated to Mary Austin, who also appears in the film Bohemian Rhapsody.
In live performances, it became customary for Freddie and the audience to sing together with Brian accompanying on guitar.
The harp sound used in the studio version was played by Brian, and there’s an anecdote that tuning it was more challenging than the actual performance.
These Are The Days Of Our LivesQueen
The music video for this song was the last MV Freddie appeared in, and it was released in black and white so that his emaciated and weakened condition, caused by complications from HIV at the time, would not be apparent.
The song was never performed live by the members of Queen with Freddie, but it was performed with a different vocalist at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert.
Radio Ga GaQueen
This song, composed by drummer Roger, was reportedly inspired by his son, who, when he was still a baby, listened to the radio and said “radio, gaga,” which led to the title after tweaking the ending.
In the film’s climactic Live Aid sequence, the scene where the massive Wembley Stadium crowd erupts to this song is breathtaking.
Also, Lady Gaga’s stage name is derived from this track.
Keep Yourself AliveQueen
It was Queen’s debut single and was also used in a car commercial.
At that time, Freddie didn’t yet have the wild image he later became known for; he took the stage in androgynous, glam rock–style outfits.
Those outfits were put together from vintage clothing, and most of the pieces were reportedly chosen by Freddie and Roger.
We Will Rock YouQueen
Haven’t we all heard this “Dun-dun-cha!” rhythm at least once? This soul-stirring track is used in many sports as well.
On the Bohemian Rhapsody film soundtrack, it features a special arrangement that transitions from the studio recording to a live performance.
