Queen

I've listened to the essential Queen songs. You know "We Will Rock You", "We Are The Champions", "Bohemian Rhapsody" the basics. But I was curious on how good Freddie Mercury's voice was. I listened to a live version of "Somebody to Love" and my jaw dropped. His range, his stage presence, his everything is impecible. He is the perfect singer. And also he's not a bad piano player.

Another good song by Queen is "Killer Queen" . It's really jazzy and catchy and fun. He makes the notes he hits look easy. Also the hints of harmony in the song that come out of no where is awesome. And Brian May's solo on that song was killer... you could say it was a Killer Queen..... forget it.

Another one of my favorites is "You're My Best Friend" which is one of those songs where I was like, "Oh yeah, I know this song. Wait... this is Queen?" Which just has awesome lyrics and notes and harmonys and is really just a fun song. John Deacon did a terrific job writing this song.

Overall, Queen is just a fantastic fun-loving band. They are a band you can listen to no matter what you are feeling. Whether artistic, happy, lonely, silly, horny, you name it. They have a song for it. Great band and it is a shame Freddie is dead. That dude had the best set of pipes in the history of the world.
