15 Queen Songs You Need On Your Playlist

Queen is one of those bands that will always be played on the radio no matter how old their songs are. Whenever I make the six-hour drive home from school, the majority of my time in the car is spent listening to Queen.

I was lucky enough to attend a show on the Queen + Adam Lambert Tour at the United Center in Chicago last summer. I know I say this after literally every concert I go to... but this was the best concert EVER. Even though Freddie Mercury himself wasn't there, he was there.

After looking back at my concert videos and pictures, I decided to make a playlist of my top 15 Queen songs.

1. Somebody to Love

This is probably the best Queen song of all time honestly.

2. Bohemian Rhapsody

If you don't know all of the words to this one, you are FAKE.

3. Don't Stop Me Now

This will instantly put you in a good mood.

4. We Are the Champions

It's inevitable that this song will be played at every championship game of every sport ever.

5. Crazy Little Thing Called Love

If you're wondering why this song screams Elvis, it's because Freddie Mercury wrote it as a tribute to him.

6. Fat Bottomed Girls

This song is pretty much a classy version of Baby Got Back.

7. We Will Rock You

It's impossible to read the title of this song and not hear the beat.

8. Killer Queen

This one doesn't have as much of a rock vibe like the others, but it's still a favorite.

9. Brighton Rock

This one may be 90% guitar solo but if you ever need something to get you amped up, this is it.

10. You're My Best Friend

This one is a classic that will continue to be in commercials and movies forever.

11. Another One Bites the Dust

I've never realized how dark this song is until right now.

12. Under Pressure

Queen and David Bowie??? What more could you ask for?

13. Stone Cold Crazy

Freddie Mercury actually played this song before Queen was created.

14. Hammer to Fall

This was one of the perfect opening songs for the Queen + Adam Lambert Tour.

15. Bicycle Race

This one grew on me. Nothing was better than seeing Adam Lambert roll out on stage on a huge bicycle to sing this song.

Honorable Mention: Love Of My Life

Didn't put this in my top 15 but it deserved to be talked about. It's way slower than a typical Queen song but it's still so good. I wouldn't put it on your car ride playlist unless you're in the mood to cry a little.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
