[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame] Queen’s iconic masterpieces: Top 10 must-listen tracks chosen by fans (1–10)
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.
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.
Killer QueenQueen
This song, written by Freddie, was their first international hit.
It’s extremely popular in Japan, having been used by Honda in a commercial.
Its graceful, sophisticated arrangement shows that Queen was far more than just a rock band, and the use of effects on Freddie’s vocals doesn’t feel like something from the ’70s, does it?

Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)Queen
Queen has had many fans in Japan since their debut.
This song mixes Japanese and English lyrics, and the chorus is sung in Japanese.
It’s also a track that’s frequently used in Japanese commercials.
In addition, it has been covered by artists such as Aoi Teshima.
Let Me LiveQueen
Featuring grand backing vocals, this song is sung like a relay with Freddie, Roger, and Brian each taking a verse.
It is also the first and last song in which all members capable of singing—everyone except John—provide vocals.
Thinking of it that way, it feels like a rare and valuable work.
Another One Bites the DustQueen
It’s said that Michael Jackson encouraged releasing this song as a single.
It certainly has a Michael Jackson–like dance-pop vibe, but I think the powerful vocals and the rock band feel of the phrases are outstanding.
The bass line feels great.
Who Wants To Live ForeverQueen
This song was produced by Brian long before Freddie passed away.
If you listen while carefully taking in the lyrics, it feels all the more poignant.
The string accompaniment adds a sense of grandeur, and the song’s wide dynamic range offers a glimpse of the members’ refined sensibilities.
