Honestly, you could pull an endless stream of those "heart-wrenching" tracks out of thin air if you really wanted to... I’m talking about the whole Gibson miracle, Guns N' Roses' "Don't Cry," Queen's "Love of My Life," HIM's "Gone with a Sin," Bryan Adams' "Please Forgive Me"... and then, wouldn't you know it, one outlier sneaks into the group—Metallica's "To Live Is to Die." Then there's "Too Much Love Will Kill You," "The Show Must Go On," and "Who Wants to Live Forever," all by Queen... It’s funny when you actually stop to think about it, isn't it? They really did have a massive repertoire of just pure, unadulterated melancholy...

Zeljko is honestly one of the better vocalists you'll find around here, possessing a genuinely impressive voice...

There’s a perfectly logical reason why that list starts right at number 77 instead of higher...
it’s because number 75 was Bohemian Rhapsody.

iwill said:If Queen is the greatest band ever, then I might as well start listening to heavy metal country!

Honestly, this has to be one of the more nonsensical comments I’ve stumbled upon in this space.
And considering how many there are, that’s saying something. I just felt like it wouldn't be right to let this thread pass by without weighing in.
Remixes of Queen songs—it just feels unnecessary, doesn't it?
I haven't actually enjoyed a single remix to date; they just don't sit right with the original essence. If Brian May and Roger Taylor want to chase a few extra bucks, well, that's their business, isn't it?
I've come to realize that threads like this tend to be quite hollow.
Because what else is there really to say about Queen? They already said everything through their music. It’s almost painful to see some amateur trying to lecture people about them.
It would be like showing up to a party and being immediately greeted by someone who clearly hasn't been invited.
But honestly, they probably couldn't care less; they had their fun and they made the best music out there, and that’s really all that matters.
And Freddie... my friends, Freddie Mercury was a king.

Nevermore (Mercury)

it feels like there's nothing left of my life to live
as if the oceans have evaporated and the clouds simply refuse to break
I beg of you, please don't spend any more time in tears
is it really so hard to see
just listen to the wind, if you could only whisper back to me
do not cast me onto that desolate path toward nevermore

not even those low valleys
where the sunlight used to feel so warm and gentle
they have nothing left to offer, nothing at all to bloom
can't you see what's happened
why was it necessary for you to walk away from me
why did you lead me on with such deception
you've driven me straight toward the path of nevermore
all because you claimed your love had finally run dry
nevermore
nevermore
😢 🙏

Mercury.
