[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame] Queen’s iconic songs: must-hear signature tracks chosen by fans

I Want It AllQueen

Queen – I Want It All (Official Video Remastered)

A song Brian wrote inspired by his wife, the British television actress Anita Dobson.

It’s a proud, powerful track about ambition and getting things done.

It was released as a single in 1989.

March of the Black QueenQueen

Queen – The March of The Black Queen (Official Lyric Video)

One of the tracks on the Black Side of the album “Queen II,” it depicts an army marching in the wake of a queen.

The same melody is not reused within the song, and its unpredictable melodic development is a hallmark for listeners.

It’s a piece that packs a variety of narrative developments into a single track, and in a sense, it can be described as having an experimental song structure.

One VisionQueen

Queen – One Vision (Extended) (Official Video)

This song celebrates global unity and harmony, and the music video shows the members happily recording in the studio—footage that’s a treat for fans.

At the end, where they sing “one vision,” it became a talking point among fans because, for some reason, Freddie sings it as “fried chicken.”

You’re My Best FriendQueen

Queen – You’re My Best Friend (Official Video)

With its warm lyrics and melody, this song makes you want to see your close friends and family.

In the music video, all the members are wearing jackets and other long-sleeved outfits, but the shoot actually took place in the summer at a rural ranch warehouse, so they were apparently toughing out the heat.

Death on Two LegsQueen

Queen – Death on Two Legs (Official Lyric Video)

A song written by Freddie and dedicated to Norman Sheffield, Queen’s former manager and co-owner of Trident Studios.

On the 2005 Queen tribute album “Killer Queen,” it was covered by Rooney.
