Queen has a distinct sound. But none of their songs are the same. And they all rock. Good choice J-man.

[@frankphillips7436]

The story behind the distinction of their songs is that every member of the band was allowed to write. Genius!

Some people forget that Queen was an actual rock band.

[@TheBlackQueen]

Heather Atkinson At some points, even a Metal band!

[@davidbaron8330]

There were times, late in Queen's career, where QUEEN seemed determined to make us forget they were a heavy rock band. Fortunately, Brian always reminded us, if only on increasingly fewer tracks. But this is from the early days when (on their first 3 albums) they rocked as hard as ANYONE.

[@TheBlackQueen]

@@davidbaron8330 It was more their mid career when they went a little too hard into synth and disco that took away from their more rocking music. The Works was pretty much Hot Space but with some more Rock tracks. A Kind Of Magic however, that album is their welcome return to their heavy metal roots and even continues where they left off on Queen II with more fantasy lyrics, symphonic and progressive structures, and even diving back into the sword and sorcery genre of heavy metal that they essentially invented back in '74 on Queen II, a little genre you might know now as FUCKING POWER METAL!!! Afterwards, The Miracle was less heavy but still very strong in the Rock territory and Innuendo features some of their most Rocking tracks the ever released! So it was just that The Game/Flash Gordon/Hot Space/The Works period where they went too Poppy.

[@strydershadow391]

Dragon Attack by Queen is one of the best songs IMO, the bass line in it is one of the best you'll ever hear!

One of my favorites...

[@irenedownie6559]

Everyone seems to like this one played live better, but I prefer the studio version because the sound quality is so stunning. I love it!

[@cizjefida]

Brother Jamal, James Hetfield sang this at the tribute concert for Freddie. And he did not have easy time. Grear pick !!!

[@darthdzl]

Jamal, you also need to listen to the Metallica version of this song, too. It's not better than the Queen version, but it's different and worthy of the original in a different way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWSso6SjqKhlqLs

[@dannyspanks]

Mike McCarter Might be better.

[@caseysghost20]

Hetfield looked so uncomfortable without his guitar on that stage.

[@lcpholman]

I love how they basically invented a new genre (years before it emerged) and then just moved on to the next sound.

[@corkycobon1481]

Freddie, Dr May and Roger were just SICK with it. Musical geniuses....all 4 of them!!

[@LisaMarieD]

The live version of this is amazing!!! yes, the song is short. That is why i suggested doing both Queen and Metallica's versions back to back. Both so good!

[@alisambrano]

One of my favourite Queen songs. Save Me is another awesome one.

[@SeigiChoujin]

They had a lot of heavier songs early on, also try Keep Yourself Alive, Ogre Battle, Great King Rat, Son & Daughter and, even though it was released later on, Sheer Heart Attack

[@SeigiChoujin]

“Princes Of The Universe” by Queen is fantastic and has one of the greatest movie tie-in music videos of all time.

[@deborahcornell171]

You've GOTTA do the live at the Rainbow version!! I love the studio version too but the Rainbow version shows you the intensity of young Freddie & Queen in the 70's. They can always surprise you! And please, "Dragon Attack" live Montreal '81 for their funky side. It's also worth doing BOTH the studio version (so crisp!) AND live (a look at each band member highlighted & interaction between them).💙

[@michellepreston9799]

Queen Let me Entertain You is another song that never gets reacted to. Queen is the best band with the most diversity of them all. Just my opinion

The Prophet's Song needs reacts too

[@bettybaby63]

That’s a great request.

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

Actually there has been at least 4 other channels that have done reactions to 'Let Me Entertain You.' Not that Jamel shouldn't hear it, cause it is a great song and he definitely should, I just wanted to inform you is all.

[@cl8onj388]

@Michelle Preston That's more fact than opinion. When you can do a song that sounds like something The Lennon Sisters would do (Bring Back That Leroy Brown), and then something Metallica would do (Stone Cold Crazy), on the same album, _AND_ have them both sound equally as good, then you are the epitome of diversity. 😉🤘

[@katcandoo]

You can't go wrong with "The Show Must go on". One of Freddie's very last songs. It is absolutely incredible but emotional. This is a quote from Brian- May states; "I said, 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing.' And he went, 'I'll f***ing do it, darling'-vodka down-and went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal".
