Writer's Block
Sep. 5th, 2011 09:39 pmWhat's your favorite Queen song, and why?
Okay, I'll bite, despite privately swearing to myself that I'd never resort to using a 'Writer's Block' topic for my posts.
But it's Queen, so that makes it alright really.
Although the reason for the topic is that it's Freddie's birthday today ~ or yesterday, for those of us in the Antipodes ~ both my favourite Queen songs were written by their guitarist Brian May (PhD). Now... do I really have to choose??
'Tie Your Mother Down'
For two reasons... the killer guitar riff that sounds simple, but isn't... & the line about taking your little brother swimming with a brick.
'39'
I remember playing the LP record of 'A Night At The Opera' on my parents record player back in the mid-Seventies & this was always my favourite song... apart from Bohemian Rhapsody of course... & I'm In Love With My Car too... oh & Seaside Rendezvous &... well, actually, I liked pretty much the whole album, though The Prophet's Song was quite hard going for an eight-year-old. But 39 has endured...
In other news... we'll be flying to New Zealand in eight days time...
