[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame] Queen’s iconic songs: must-hear signature tracks chosen by fans

Las Palabras De AmorQueen

Queen – Las Palabras De Amor (Top Of The Pops, 1982)

The song “Las Palabras De Amor,” featured on the 10th album Hot Space.

The opening, which begins with a floating, synth-driven sound, and the spacious choral work are particularly striking.

While the melody stays consistently high, the overall range is actually narrow, and the tempo is relaxed, so it’s easier to try at karaoke if you adjust the key to suit your voice.

Since there are backing vocals throughout, why not try recreating the song’s atmosphere with your friends?

Lily Of The ValleyQueen

Queen – Lily Of The Valley (Official Lyric Video)

There’s a song by Queen, the legendary British rock band, called “Lily of the Valley.” Its Japanese title is rendered as “Tani ma no Yuri,” but “Lily of the Valley” refers to the flower known as suzuran in Japanese.

It may not be one of their most popular tracks, but it’s a beautifully flowing piece.

We Will Rock You (Spuds Remix)Queen

Queen – We Will Rock You (Spuds Remix)

Even many middle and high school students might know it.

It’s a remix of one of the signature songs by the world-famous rock band Queen.

It’s a danceable track, but since a lot of the original remains, it’s also recommended for those who want to enjoy rock.

I still remember the shock I felt when I first heard the rock monument Bohemian Rhapsody.

They incorporated operatic elements, the mood of the song changed repeatedly, and in places where a typical rock band would have shouted, QUEEN delivered harmonies.

In an era when blasting, hard-driven guitar rock was the mainstream, every track they released featured remarkable twists.

This live footage is packed with QUEEN’s hits.

Enjoy it along with countless memories, and the sight of them bounding across the stage with boundless energy!

Teo TorriatteQueen

Queen　【TEO TORRIATTE (Let Us Cling Together)】High Definition Mix 2005

Was it when I was in middle school that I was blown away by Freddie’s performance? It’s a song where Japanese lyrics are cleverly inserted into the English lyrics.

In the latter half, a rich chorus joins in, and it’s arranged with a layered texture, like an opera piece.

Bohemian RhapsodyQueen

Queen Bohemian Rhapsody

It’s a single released by Queen in 1975, included on the album A Night at the Opera released the same year.

As the album title suggests, it has a dramatic, almost operatic style and is remembered as a work that goes beyond simple rock.

Thank God It’s ChristmasQueen

Queen – Thank God It’s Christmas

This is a Christmas song by the legendary rock band Queen, who sparked a resurgence in popularity in Japan with the release of the film Bohemian Rhapsody.

Among their many classic tracks, there may be quite a few people who didn’t know this one.

The sound of bells and a steady eight-beat are Christmas staples, of course, but once Freddie’s voice comes in, it inevitably makes you think of that iconic white tank top.
