On-topic, this is a tough question for me to answer. While Under Pressure is usually the first song that comes to mind when I think of my favorite Queen song, I'm also strongly in favor of Radio Ga Ga. Because Under Pressure is already ahead I chose the latter.
These Are the Days of Our Lives and I Want To Break Free are right there next to the top as well. But then I also strongly like Princes of the Universe. We Are The Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody and You're My Best Friend. It's very difficult for me to pick one single all-time favorite Queen song.

Radio Ga Ga is a great song, probably my favorite from Queen after Under Pressure and the Highlander soundtrack 8)

Of course, according to SOME people Queen only has two good songs.

Listening to Under Pressure, I realized that I've heard almost every rhythm in the song is in some other song. Most notable would probably be Dancing Queen and Ice Ice Baby.
Freaking people ripping off Queen.

Did someone really vote for We Will Rock You?
That's their worst song, not their best.

After hearing about it so much, I finally tried to listen to Bohemian Rhapsody. Jeez, that was terrible.

Bohemian Rhapsody is an amazing composition. The layers and harmonizing in that song are beyond almost anything that comes down the pike these days.

I don't know about "anything that comes down the pipes these days" (because I don't listen to modern music), but essentially, Mike is correct. As a composition, Bohemian Rhapsody is incredible. In fact, I would say that most of Queen's music was superior in that respect. Even when they weren't trying (on a song like Crazy Little Thing Called Love), they couldn't help but have amazing harmonies, etc. They're the Beach Boys of... whatever genre you want to place Queen into.

I said ALMOST anything. There are some good acts today, they're just pretty few and far between.

My favorite musician is Ozzy Osbourne, maybe I just have terrible taste in music.

Not that Ozzy's bad, but he's definitely not great.....extremely overrated.... Most overrated musician is Hendrix or Elvis though (or at least what comes to mind right now)

Elvis is like Hulk Hogan though. He may be overrated, but rock/wrestling may not be the same today without them.

Led Zeppelin is the Kings of Rock N' Roll Yes it did. It originated with the African Americans, and then Elvis saw them and adapted the style a bit and became a national sensation because white people had never heard such amazing music come out of a white guy before. I might be wrong in a few ways here so Wild should come and correct me...
