Subject: Favourite Queen Single Of the 80s.
Written By: 80smuzikhead on 03/23/05 at 6:10 am
IMO, the 70s were Queen's best decade, but they had some excelent singles in the 80s. My favourites are "I Want It All", "Who Wants To Live Forever?" and "Hammer To Fall" 8)

My two choices are 'I Want To Break Free' and 'Play The Game', though I much prefer their 70's stuff :)

Never was much of a Queen fan, outside of "Another one Bites the Dust", so, seeing as that was 1980, I picked it.
Interestingly, though, it did have a bit of a disco rock sound, so it's clearly 70's influenced.
PS: I don't think I've really heard anything by them past this song (maybe their 80's hits didn't get that much airplay in comparison), but seeing how much I like that era, I should give their latter era albums a listen. ;)

Both of these are 70s, though "Crazy Little Thing..." was a hit in 1980, so I guess that counts.
Someone else mentioned "The Show Must Go On". That was Freddie's "parting shot", hense the meancholy and it came out in '91.

Only 3 ??? Impossible !
For me the 80s was when Queen excelled in film soundtracks - so anything from Flash Gordon and Highlander are in my top faves. But I am a fan from the very beginning so to narrow it down is IMPOSSIBLE !!!
But for this poll I selected
Flash
Radio Ga Ga
and
Who Wants to Live Forever
because each has a special memory connected to it from parts of my life.
