Queen

When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

- Freddie Mercury -

I've been listening to a lot of music because I've been in a vehicle driving a lot; I usually make work phone calls and listen to podcasts but there was many hours in which I decided to give myself a little break and listen to music instead - sure, it was interrupted by work calls but I managed to get a lot of time to listen to music and delved into some playlists I've not listened to for some time.

I have a very broad musical interest and like most people what I listen to is a mood thing. Sometimes though, I hear a track in a mix-playlist and latch onto it which takes me over to the artists' playlist and I'll listen to it exclusively for a time which is what I've done over the last week or so. This weekend I'm sharing one of those artists.

I've always liked Queen as a band although I think they're one of those artists that a person either likes or does not, and many do not; it's ok, people can have their own opinions and should. I think their front man, Freddie Mercury was an incredible singer and performer and the band itself pushed many boundaries and crossed some too, but I like the music and happily listen to their tracks from time to time.

    Queen is almost always a good choice, for everything. And I can't think of anyone I know that didn't like Queen. Maybe not all songs, but everybody liked at least one or two or so. Or maybe I cut all those out who don't.

    I remember one of those one-line-jokes - If Bohemian Rhapsody comes on and the person you're with does not start singing along, walk away. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

    It's something about that song that makes almost everybody wants to sing.

  • @bozz(83)· 357d

    I think my two favorite Queen songs are Don't Stop Me Now, and Fat Bottomed Girls. He was really one of a kind!

  • @belkyscabrera(79)· 357d

    Freddy Mercury was a great artist, and his legacy lives on. I like listening to music when I'm doing activities. It's relaxing. Sometimes I get so focused on the song that I end up singing along and put aside what I'm doing. Even though I don't have a singing voice, I enjoy the moment.

  • @jacobtothe(77)· 357d

    Queen is one of those bands I don't listen to very much, but there are moments when it just hits my mood perfectly, too.

  • @davideownzall(74)· 357d

    Freddie Mercury was a great artist , it's undeniable and also a great voice... one can not like him of course but no one can't say he was great on what he did and he left the sign on music

    'we will rock you' my favorite of those three

  • @krazzytrukker(70)· 357d

    What a Talented Man He was...

    One of the first three records I got for my 10th birthday was Queen - News of the World.

    I wore that fucker out!

    My Faves from the that record album. ✓ these ones out...

    Sheer Heart Attack

    Count me in as a Queen fan.

    Having music going in the car is a wonderful way to pass the time while traveling. I never had the access to listen to podcasts and the such in my car, so it's always been music. Now I don't travel that much though, so I listen to the radio on my small excursions to Mom's and around town. Still, I will hear a song from an artist that I have forgotten about for a while and make note for later. When I get home or when I am working next, I will tell Alexa to play that artist for me and then I get to enjoy them all over again.

    I love "Don't Stop Me Now". I remember driving back from Melbourne, passing through Murray bridge, and getting onto the expressway, and the signs on the highway "No Stopping" flew by at the same frequency as the repeated lyrics.

    It really made me feel, and think that someone had engineered that outcome. I often wonder if any one else has had that experience, too.

    Have you seen the Queen movie?

  • @sirfx(60)· 358d

    This thing happens most of the time; one will listen to a particular music and if the track interests him, he will definitely check on the artist playlist. I do that a lot and sometimes leave a particular track on replay.

  • @mballesteros(74)· 358d

    I'm not a fan of Queen, not because of anything negative, but because I didn't grow up listening to them. In the town where I grew up, we were more influenced by Colombian music.

    I remember a very funny anecdote. When I was about 28, I moved to the capital of my country, and there was a very rock ‘n’ roll atmosphere among young people. I started dating a guy, and one day he was listening to rock music in his car and asked me if I liked Queen. As I've always been direct, I told him I didn't know who they were.

    I remember the look of astonishment on his face and his question: “How can you not know Queen? Have you been in prison all this time?!” It was funny to see his face!

    Of course, he then told me who they were, and that's when I started to get to know their music. Although I didn't get hooked on them, I must admit that there are songs that I like.

  • @meesterboom(81)· 358d

    He was certainly a showman, if it hasn't have been for him queen wouldn't have been what they were

  • @amr008(68)· 358d

    Switching from calls and podcasts to pure music on long drives hits different, it clears the mental clutter fast. From that trio, Who Wants to Live Forever still floors me every time, and We Will Rock You has me tapping the wheel like a metronome the car probably hates. I get the love or leave it vibe with Queen, but the range they packed into a single album keeps me coming back. Got a favorite non-single or live version you think flies under the radar?

  • @duskobgd(74)· 358d

    Have you seen the movie Bohemian Rhapsody? Rami Malek portrayed him brilliantly.

    I was a little too young to follow his work, but in later years I joined the group that likes his tracks 🙂

    Do you sing on those long drives? I wake up like that 🙂

  • @madushanka(79)· 358d

    It is known that Freddie Mercury is a master of music. There is no debate about it. Two of his songs listened by me often at a time. My love is Dangerous and Made In Heaven are those two songs. We are the champions song released by Queen Music band is still renewed many memories of sports champions and a popular song around the world.

  • @avdesing(80)· 358d

    Well, I absolutely love Queen!!! All their songs, plus Freddy was a master in his professional career, singing until the very end, with his last breath. His lyrics are exemplary and convey messages. A voice like no other, a genius. What a great selection, it gave me goosebumps, the last song always does. Thank you!
