Queen: The Best rock band to ever exist?

[EmperorDisasster]

Before these crappy, so-called "modern" and "awesome" "rock" bands came along, we had the one true band that really did make some of the greatest songs to ever exist. The reason for me posting this? Well, other than me starring in a school production of We Will Rock You, it would have to be the simple fact that it's simply one of the greatest groups to ever have existed, and only one song that they made really endured tears into the world of listeners:

Basically, post what you consider to be the greatest song possibly made by this group.

Not a massive fan, but I know how influencial they have been. Made some VERY good songs. Freddie was a fucking vocal genious too.

Not rock but I just wanna show you this guy. He utilises his entire guitar. It's like he's his own band lol. Amazing skill!

So much Nostalgia from Queen's works, you really can't tune into a radio station in the UK WITHOUT hearing them, it really shows how great they were.

 You can't say that this is the best band to ever exist. The Beatles were the best, you see how much talent they got? Anyways, both bands are great.

Meh, having 25% Liverpool blood in me, I liked them a lot too, but in terms of changing the rules of music, the comparison of Queen to The Beatles in drastic, but not in the sense that Queen or the Beatles were better. The decision in the end would be based off of choice.
