Friday Canon: QUEEN

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Live Aid wouldn't have been the same without them! Cocaine dwarves, white vests and operatics worthy of Pavarotti have all made Queen legendary in UK pop history. Everyone's Dad loves Queen, but which of their staggering 48 UK charting singles do poptimists heart the most? You get SIXTEEN ticks across all the boxes to denote your Queen love.

Re-issues are not listed unless it is a remixed version. I've also left off the two EPs (Queen's First EP and the George Michael/Lisa Stansfield thing) just because it fits better in the poll that way!

A month or two ago I went to a birthday party for one of the musos here in Oxford - it was a Queen special theme, with all the gathered rest-of-Oxford's-young-musos singing Queen songs till closing time. Utterly fab and silly, and I was surprised by how many of the songs I knew & loved.

I know! I think it's the fact that Queen contained 3 very talented songwriters (if not perhaps the same number of great lyricists!). And even Roger Taylor did "Kind Of Magic"!
