OK, so the greatest songs by
one band list is becoming something less of a novelty, since Rolling Stone has
now added Queen’s 10 Greatest Songs.
Not that I’m arguing against
it. Monster band. Killer songs, as the list aptly shows.
All the biggies are there:
Killer Queen, The Show Must Go
On, Under Pressure, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Somebody To Love, Fat Bottomed Girls, and of course, Bohemian Rhapsody.
Two things jump out at my
about this list:
1) They had too many huge
hits to cram into a top 10 list. Missing
in action, for
example, are Radio Ga Ga, Tie Your Mother
Down and everyone’s favourite
sports arena song, We Will Rock You. You’d add
your own, no doubt.
2) The breadth of these guys
was amazing. Prog, metal, pop,
rockabilly,
Broadway… Wow.
We still miss you,
Freddie. You were one of our best
friends.
