Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Queen’s iconic songs — must-hear fan-selected classics (61–70)
DelilahQueen
It’s a song included on Queen’s 1991 album Innuendo.
The lyrics, filled with Freddie Mercury’s deep affection for his beloved cat Delilah, are striking.
You can sense how much Freddie adored Delilah, capturing a cat’s capricious nature and cuteness, as well as the occasional mischief.
One highlight is Brian May’s guitar work, using a talk box to imitate a cat’s meow.
The track appears on the last album released nine months before Freddie’s passing, and it’s a piece brimming with his kindness and sense of humor.
The MiracleQueen
A song incorporating lyrical ideas from all four band members.
It was released in 1989.
The lyrics sing about God’s magnificent creation and its beauty, featuring simple words and an upbeat sound.
The track centers on the theme of peace on Earth.
MustaphaQueen
Freddie isn’t actually purely British.
Strictly speaking, he was of Persian-Indian descent, and it was precisely because of that background that he was able to write this Arabic song.
Even though it’s in Arabic, it’s a superb track that doesn’t lose Queen’s signature style.
And by placing this song as the first track on the album “Jazz,” it shocked fans at the time.
bohemianQueen
Queen, the quintessential British rock band.
They have been active since the 1980s, and the band is known for the fact that guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor still perform live.
In this song, the vocalist Freddie takes on the role of a young man who has killed someone and sings to his mother—a storyline that is delivered with deep sorrow.
A Night at the OperaQueen
Queen’s 1975 album A Night at the Opera is a masterpiece that shines brilliantly in the history of UK rock.
Its stunning tracks showcase a wide range of styles from ballads to hard rock, with an especially overwhelming epic that runs over six minutes.
The innovative structure incorporating operatic elements and the complex, layered choruses sent shockwaves through the rock world at the time.
The album became the band’s first to reach No.
1 on the UK charts and was nominated for a Grammy, earning high praise for its musicality.
It is highly recommended for those who want to savor the full allure of UK rock or explore the possibilities of music.
All God’s PeopleQueen
Originally, it was a song Freddie wrote for a solo project, but with the idea that Brian should play guitar, it was ultimately recorded as a Queen track.
It is included on the 1991 album Innuendo.
Flash’s ThemeQueen
This is a track included on the soundtrack album for the film Flash Gordon.
The soundtrack was produced entirely by Queen, with Brian taking the lead, and it’s said that this album marked the beginning of Queen’s use of synthesizers.
