- 'Flash' Queen - Flash (Official Video) Queen were hired to produce the soundtrack for the 1980 movie adaptation of the Flash Gordon comics. The song was the only single from the soundtrack, and features clips from the film including Brian Blessed's iconic line "Gordon's alive?".
- 'Innuendo' Queen - Innuendo (Official Video) This song was Queen’s longest single, even surpassing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by 35 seconds. If anything, it's even more barmy than 'BoRap', as it features a flamenco guitar section by Yes guitarist Steve Howe and Brian May, an operatic interlude and sections of hard rock, in addition to lyrics inspired by Freddie Mercury’s illness.
- 'Bicycle Race' Queen - Bicycle Race (Official Video) This is exactly the kind of song that would be considered a novelty song, had it not been for Queen recording it.
- 'Heaven for Everyone' Queen - Heaven For Everyone (Official Video) Roger Taylor first wrote this song for his side-project band The Cross in 1988, with Freddie Mercury appearing as a guest vocalist.

- Queen – “Bohemian Rhapsody” All hail the, er, king and forever champion, a concept album wrapped up into one six-minute Queen song and the original Carpool Karaoke classic thanks to Wayne’s World.
- Queen feat. David Bowie – “Under Pressure” Lots of high-profile rock collaborations fall on their face, but Queen with David Bowie was undeniable. Just ask Vanilla Ice…
- Queen – “We Will Rock You” Short (2:02), sweet, to the point and the most famous one-two-THREE! beat in rock, and probably pop music, history. A top five sports staple along with “We Are the Champions” and a catalyst for one of the best opening segments in Cheers‘ storied TV history.
- Queen – “Fat Bottomed Girls” Queen’s celebration of the prominent posterior came with a wink from the opening chorus and kept through Mercury’s command to “get on your bikes and ride!”
- I Was Born To Love You (Made In Heaven, 1995) Originally a Freddie Mercury solo track recorded during one of Queen's creative hiatuses, his disco-tastic version was given the rock treatment by May, Deacon and Taylor on Queen's final album, completed and released following Mercury's death.
- Stone Cold Crazy (Sheer Heart Attack, 1974) The furious Stone Cold Crazy – an influence on the future members of Metallica, and hence a cornerstone of the thrash metal movement – is as close to true heavy metal as Queen ever came.
- Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) (A Day At The Races, 1976) A Day At The Races' piano-driven finale, this track was written by May as a gesture towards the band's dedicated Japanese fanbase.
- I’m In Love With My Car (A Night At The Opera, 1975) Roger Taylor didn’t have his own hit song until Radio Ga Ga in 1984, but he certainly made a few quid out of the one he wrote for A Night At The Opera.

- 'Bohemian Rhapsody' From 'A Night at the Opera' (1975) Was there really a question what would top the Best Queen songs list? This multi-part epic, painstakingly created with razor blades on state of the art machinery that could still barely match the sounds in Freddie Mercury's head, has gone on to become universally accepted as their masterwork.
- 'We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions' From 'News of the World' (1977) Obviously, either of these songs could be on a list of the best Queen songs all by themselves, but it feels weird to talk about one without the other.
- 'Another One Bites the Dust' From 'The Game' (1980) Queen bassist John Deacon steps into the spotlight, recording nearly all the instruments for this disco-rock classic after reportedly hanging out in the studio with "Good Times" creators Chic.
- 'Under Pressure' (with David Bowie) From 'Hot Space' (1982) Queen team up with art-rock hero David Bowie to create a song so infectious, sturdy and undeniable that it was able to stand up to, and ultimately outlast, one of the most heinous and large-scale assaults on musical good taste that's ever been foisted on the world.
