A Journey Through Queen’s Greatest Hits

Some bands write songs, but Queen wrote the soundtrack to our lives. Think about it. From stadium-shaking anthems to heart-wrenching ballads, their music is woven into the fabric of our memories. It’s the song blasting from the car stereo on a summer road trip, the track that got you through a tough time, and the triumphant finale at every great party. Queen gave us a collection of songs that feel like they belong to all of us.

Their music has a unique power to bring people together. It crosses generations, gets everyone singing along, and reminds us of shared moments of joy, struggle, and victory. Let’s take a walk through some of Queen’s Greatest Hits, together.

The Unforgettable Anthems We All Share

Bohemian Rhapsody

What can we say that hasn't already been said? This six-minute masterpiece is a whirlwind of opera, rock, and balladry that shouldn't work, but absolutely does. It’s a testament to Queen’s fearless creativity. What’s your favourite part—the gentle piano intro, the soaring operatic section, or the headbanging finale?

We Will Rock You

Stomp, stomp, clap. That’s all it takes. This track is pure, raw energy and one of the most powerful calls to action in music history. It turns any crowd, big or small, into a unified force. It’s a simple rhythm that connects everyone in the room instantly.

We Are the Champions

If ever there was a song for a victory lap, this is it. It’s a song of triumph and resilience that resonates on a deeply personal level. We’ve all felt like champions at some point, and this song captures that feeling perfectly. It’s the ultimate "we did it" anthem.

Somebody to Love

Layered with gospel-inspired harmonies, this song is Freddie Mercury’s heartfelt plea for connection, wrapped in a powerful and soulful package. It’s a beautiful, complex track that showcases the band’s vocal range and emotional depth. Don’t we all just want somebody to love?

Don't Stop Me Now

This is pure, unadulterated joy in song form. It’s a three-and-a-half-minute burst of unstoppable confidence and feel-good energy. When you hear that opening piano, you know you’re in for a good time. What memory does this song spark for you?

Killer Queen

So sophisticated and stylish, this song is a perfect example of Queen’s playful side. With its intricate harmonies and witty lyrics, it paints a vivid picture with sound. It’s a reminder of how effortlessly cool and clever their songwriting could be.

Radio Ga Ga

A tribute to the power of radio and a critique of the rise of music television, this song became an anthem for audience participation. The iconic double hand-clap during the chorus is a moment of pure unity at any live show. It’s a song that was made to be experienced together.

Diving a Little Deeper

For every global smash hit, there are treasures in Queen’s catalogue that true fans hold dear.

’39

Written by Brian May, this skiffle-folk tune tells a surprisingly poignant story about space travellers. It’s a brilliant piece of narrative songwriting that showcases a completely different side of the band. It’s a fan favourite for a reason, showing their incredible versatility.

Keep Yourself Alive

The first track on their very first album, this is where it all began. It’s a raw, energetic rock and roll tune that announced their arrival with a bang. You can hear the hunger and ambition in every note—the promise of everything that was to come.
