wow, 13 years. who wants to live forever will always be in my top fav's. Maybe because it was in the Highlander movie or maybe it just touched a chord with the inner me That was also around the time my girl friend was dying from cancer, that may have something to do with it as well.

Mercury wrote some very cool lyrics in his time. Bohemian Rhapsody had a nice point. The lyrics of Bicycle Race and Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon were funny.
But my favourite lyrics are still Innuendo's.. While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow 'Till the mountains crumble into the plain Oh yes we'll keep on tryin' Tread that fine line Oh we'll keep on tryin yeah Just passing our time While we live according to race, colour or creed While we rule by blind madness and pure greed Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion Through the eons, and on and on Oh yes we'll keep on tryin' We'll tread that fine line Oh oh we'll keep on tryin' 'Till the end of time 'Till the end of time Through the sorrow all through our splendour Don't take offence at my innuendo You can be anything you want to be Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be Be free with your tempo be free be free Surrender your ego be free be free to yourself Oooh ooh If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky If there's a point if there's a reason to live or die If there's an answer to the questions we feel bad to ask Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask Oh yes we'll keep on trying Hey tread that fine line Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah (yeah yeah) And whatever will be will be We'll keep on trying We'll just keep on trying 'Till the end of time 'Till the end of time 'Till the end of time |

I personaly think that Randy Rhoads was Best Legendary Being to come for the 20th centery, but to each his own i guess. My favorite Queen songs are, Some Kind Of Magic, Killer Queen, Bicycle Race, I Want It All, and The Show Must Go On. And Inuendo was a Hit, it was on the greatest hits album as a matter of a fact. Disc One. [img]smile.gif[/img] Just a bit of a Queen Fan here. R.I.P. Freddie Mercury.

How can you say whether something is popular or not based on your opinion of your own experiences? There are several ways to objectively measure a song's popularity, your personal experience doesn't come into it. You said it "never" became very popular but were not including when Queen actually brought out the song. That's a bit silly if you ask me.

By the way, I've got the Queen Greatest Hits album right here, and here Innuendo is the sixth song of disc two. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Which reminds me that when asked for an album that is a bit more 'disco', the girl with the Queen albums suggested an album and said without looking at the song names: "The first and second songs are disco, the third song isn't, the fourth one is slightly disco, the fifth one isn't, the sixth one is definitely disco.." up to the last song on the album! I think she had every Queen album - really makes you wonder how much she has listened to them, eh? |

How to objectively measure a song's popularity then if not by how many times you've heard it from "mainstream" radio stations? |

I think that Queen ruled in the 70's and 80's. they hadd too many good / great songs for me to list my favorites here.
****** AFTER THOUGHT******* I remember when I was a teenager and growing up. We chose our music and rebelled against our parents... now the kids are listening to what we did........ LOL [ 12-03-2004, 08:43 AM: Message edited by: coyote696 ]
