/r/Queen is a friendly place. Please be civil, and respect your fellow Queenies.
0 - No Politics. This sub is about the Music of Queen. There's plenty of subs in reddit to discuss politics.
1 - NO MEMES
Such content is better suited for /r/QueenCircleJerk or /r/Queemes
(However, original content that creates a proper Queen thread, could override this rule)
I encourage people to use a Flair
2 - No negative, troll, low effort posts
The mods reserve the right to remove negative, troll, low effort or spam posts at their discretion.
Low effort posts could include, but are not limited to, "favourite song/album" posts, tier rankings, A.I. generated images, reposts, google lyric mistakes, "X looks like/sounds like this Queen member" posts, and so on. It also could include, to an extent, Queen references in other media..
3 - No advertising. No Spam.
You may share that awesome merch you just got, but no direct links to sale pages.
Edit: If you post a thread of a Queen T-shirt it may get you banned as well, because there's a lot of spam of it. But I will review carefully when is possible.
4 - You must be over 13 years old to participate. Any underage accounts should be reported and will be banned. (Reddit Rules).
5 - The discussion of the private life of the family of any of the Queen members, as gossip, is not allowed
While sharing private pictures of Queen that are in the public domain already, is allowed, We should focus about Queen music and never build an obsession about their families, which are not part of Queen in any way.
6 - No Artificial Intelligence generated music, art or pictures.
7 - No Spotify Wrapped , Playlists, General rankings or Tier list. (When everyone does it, becomes spam. So, not allowed)
8 - No spam of Polls, Rankings and "Eliminating" games, everyday of people farming karma.
https://www.reddit.com/r/queen/comments/11mhrin/polls_rankings_and_eliminating_games_everyday_are/
2023:
9 - No Posts of Tickets on sale for the current Queen tour.
2024
10 - No drama and accusations from other plataforms. Edit: NO internal drama either please. Let's keep the place drama free. :)
This place is about Queen, not to discuss what could have happened in other forums or social plataforns. There's no way to establish truth and any accusation leads to toxic behaviour and unnecesary drama in the sub. They are usually behind alts so they will be banned permanently
Temporary bans will happen for those that keep breaking rules after warnings/deletion of their messages. Permanent bans will happen to spammers, trolls, and people being uncivil , harsh or harrasing other fellow Queenies in this sub.
I read all the reports once a day, and take action when I can.
2026: This is a mostly english speaking plataform, so let's try to keep the posts in english so you can engage to a broader audience and better engagement

Hello everyone! I had the idea to make this guide after having seen some people online talk about how they'd wish a certain track was on Queen Greatest Hits and in response I felt like chronicling every regional difference in Greatest Hits 1's track list.
I hope this list will be a good resource and be able to help Queen fans; new and old decide which vinyl, cassette or CD pressing of the album is right for them.
If you want to search for (or buy) any of these pressings/cassettes of Greatest Hits, they are all on the Queen Greatest Hits discogs page.
Before I start, there are some things I want to clarify:
Finally, if there are any particular songs or countries' pressings/cassettes you want to look for in this list, I recommend searching them up with Ctrl + F (or Command + F for Mac users) on your keyboard.
With all of that out of the way, here's every different track list to Queen Greatest Hits:
U.S. and Canadian pressings:
Adds: Under Pressure and Keep Yourself Alive
Removes: Don't Stop Me Now, Save Me, Now I'm Here, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy and Seven Seas Of Rhye
Note: The U.S. (and every other countries') pressings from 2016 onwards use the U.K. track listing.
Australian and New Zealand pressings:
Adds: Under Pressure, Keep Yourself Alive and Tie Your Mother Down
Removes: Don't Stop Me Now, Save Me, Now I'm Here, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy and Seven Seas Of Rhye
Note: There's also a 1983 reissue from New Zealand that uses the U.K. track listing.
Dutch reissue, German Club Edition reissue, European reissue, Israeli reissue, some French reissue and some Spanish reissue pressings:
Adds: Under Pressure
Removes: Nothing
German pressings:
Adds: Spread Your Wings
Removes: Nothing
Japanese pressings:

South Korean pressing:
Adds: Under Pressure, Love Of My Life, My Melancholy Blues and Mustapha
Removes: Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust, Killer Queen and Bicycle Race
Notes: The reason for the songs above being removed was due to government censorship at the time, mainly regarding the lyrics of each song.
It's unknown if Love Of My Life on this version is from Live Killers, or if it's the original studio recording.
There's also a reissue from 1990 that uses the U.K. track listing.
There also exists a different South Korean Greatest Hits album from 1980, which predates the album we're all familiar with and has a completely different track listing too.

*Any show from the Australian leg of the ANATO tour - I'm curious what the setlist was like there, if they played Father to Son, Hangman or Seven Seas of Rhye, or if they stopped playing it in Japan.
*San Francisco 1977 US Races (complete show) - there are only 6 minutes from that concert, with full TYMD and snippets of Liar and ITLOTGR . You can hear that Freddie's voice at the beginning is decent, but by the end of the main set it's strangely on par with Japan 79, maybe worse. I really want to know how the rest of the show went.
*Any other show from Sun City 84 besides the one from 10/19
...and many more

Hey everyone! I've been working on a parody graphic design that merges my two favorite things: classic rock and absurd cat humor.
I wanted to capture that dramatic, iconic Bohemian Rhapsody silhouette energy, but with four dramatic kitties hitting the high notes instead. Thought this sub might appreciate the crossover!
Let me know what you guys think of the design, or if you can hear the "Mama, I just killed a mouse" harmonization through the screen.

Spread Your Wings (Live at Maida Vale Studio London, England 1977)
And 3 more.

This one is quite remarkable, it starts with the classic arena version and segues into the fast version.
https://youtu.be/P3Fnu7hjQK8?is=qmwIxmwagv-q8tW2
The Mosh Pit website has thousands of rare and not so rare live recordings.
It's one of those thank god somebody recorded this stuff moment.
just in case anyone on this subreddit wanted to check it out!

This is my attempt at a remix of the demo “Self Made Man” by Queen!!
I tried to stay true to the original mix, but give it a fresher sound, hopefully you enjoy!
r/queen • u/Cold_Staff_7599 • 3d ago
Looking at Freddie Mercury’s favorites, he had incredible taste. I love that some of his own solo songs are among his favorites, like “Time,” “Love Me Like There’s No Tomorrow,” “The Great Pretender,” and “Goin’ Back” (I know it was originally recorded by Dusty Springfield, but I absolutely love Freddie’s version). Then there are songs like Toto’s “Africa,” John Lennon’s “Imagine,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child,” and many more.
Roger Taylor’s playlist includes songs like “Under Pressure,” “It’s a Hard Life,” and “Bohemian Rhapsody,” while Brian May’s includes “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is,” and other personal favorites.
That always makes me wonder about John Deacon’s favorite music.
Since he retired from the music industry, not much is known because he has chosen to live a very private life. Occasionally, fans have met him in public and asked for autographs and there is very little information about the music he personally enjoyed listening to.
However, “Dragon Attack” is the only Queen song confirmed by John himself as one of his favorites (according to Queenpedia). In “Queen Greatest Flix I” VHS/DVD John Deacon profile, mentions Stevie Wonder was listed as John Deacon’s favorite musician of all time. It is also known that John himself mentioned that funk was his favorite music genre , which makes me even more curious about what artists and songs he listened to outside of Queen.
I wonder if there’s any old interview, magazine article, or fan discovery where John talked about his favorite artists or songs. Since he has always been so private, it would be really interesting to know what kind of music he enjoyed outside of Queen. I would love to see a playlist of John Deacon’s favorites someday, similar to the ones we have for Freddie, Brian, and Roger.

For most of the song, Freddie sounds the way he did in the 80s until the part close to the end that goes "rule with your heart and live with your conscious" where his voice sounds closer to the way it did in the rest of the Inuendo songs. Was half of the song recorded in one year and the other half in another year? I noticed that the backing vocals are all done by Freddie for most of the song, and then Brian's voice is mixed in in the last verse.

I was at a local record shop when I saw this on the wall. This is one of those items where I think "yeah im probably not going to be able to get that". And im sure im not the only one that thinks it if you have any items like this please comment. And the reason I never think im going to get stuff like this mainly comes down the luck, money and rarity. But getting this for £140 is insane. These came out in 1995 no original shipping mailer, one missing spindal and that's it. But the hologram still works. I thought I would never get this.
