Favorite Queen Song(s)?

[Baruch]

:bounce8:Yep--the very ones!

My parents liked him, when we lived in CA.  I liked his sound too.

I followed music much more closely back in the day.  Liked (and still do) A Taste of Honey.  I went through a Mancini type phase--liked him (Baby Elephant Walk--Days of Wine and Roses) and even more 'like' to a guy named Hugo Winterhalter--orchestra instrumentals.

So I had heard of him, and heard his music in TV/movies:

I wasn't very familiar with Queen before I bought "A Night at the Opera" in a record store near Shinjuku Station in 1976.  I liked most of the songs on that album, and was thoroughly impressed with the creative versatility and talent of the band, and, of course, with Freddy's voice.  I still have that record, and although I purchased the album on CD some years later, I still like to spin the vinyl version now and then.  I wish that Freddy was still with us today.

Like most bands of the era, I think Queen reaches almost unholy levels of being overhyped. That said, Mercury's voice was really good, and that's not a statement of them being bad... just not god-tier like nostalgia makes them out to be. All power to people who like that sound though.

There are times when all I want is a smooth professional instrumental sound...  Herb Alpert, Ventures, etc.

My fav Queen song (We Are The Champions)--at least as it was used in the movie, A Knight's Tale.  :)

Yeah, it was OK in there, and I really enjoyed the movie. Whomever it was that played the arrogant French guy was very well cast, I thought.

It had interesting moments of modern pop and Medieval (the dance).  Here is the real thing:

Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' suits my love of love complicated pieces.  Loved Alice Cooper and Led Zepplin for the same reason.

Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, Fat Bottomed Girls, Another One Bites the Dust, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Somebody to Love, You're My Best Friend,

[Cavebear]

Well, then substitute Moody Blues for Iron Butterfly---but in order for you to have a truly full life you must google In a Gadda Da Vida and listen to the full 17 min. of it.  Pure pleasure!!
(Or how about another one you have never heard of--The Ventures)

Moody Blues, anything - Great
Iron Butterfly, Inna Gadda Da Vita, great (they sing)?
Ventures - My favorite music...

Simon&Garfunkle - Lyrics to love
Mamas&Paoas - Harmonics
Gary Puckett - Voice

Thank you for Pete Fountain.  I had to look him up and was impressed.  Clarinet-Dude!
