As a child of the early 90’s my first CD was Vanilla Ice. And while I hate to admit this on the Internet, it eventually lead me to Queen. My parents introduced me to Under Pressure and it was on from there. To this day Under Pressure is one of my favorite Queen songs. I also loved Bohemian Rhapsody because of Wayne’s World and Another One Bites the Dust because of Weird Al. My tastes have varied throughout the years, but it always came back to Queen.

My favorite song as a kid was “Another One Bites the Dust.” I can remember car trips, and it’d come on the radio, and we’d all just sing our hearts out. Fond memories of family in the car. :)

I grew up listening to queen. They were one of the first bands I ever listened to. i actually have 2 stories lol. 1) My father owns a ‘67 Shelby GT 350. When I was 6 or 7 I used to sit and listen to I’m min love with my car over and over and pretend to drive it. 2) When my daughter was born I tried singing all different songs to get her to sleep (she was VERY fussy at bedtime) The first sing that she fell asleep to was a softened version of Bohemia Rhapsody.

I have been a Queen fan for a long time- I have a lot of their albums and I have to say if I’m feeling down- I play " Don’t stop me now" as loud as I can and boogie round the house. There is a song for every moment- " The show must go on" if I am having a hard time dealing with something, " Lazing on a Sunday afternoon" if I feel like being goofy, " The Miracle" for a great air guitar solo mood, " Who wants to live forever" if I need to have a cry, and " One Vision" when I just wanna belt it out. I have the Metallica lullabye CD and give all my friends an appropriate CD to them, but when we have our next child, which may be IVF again, this would be the CD for me!
My favorite memory of Queen comes from when I played soccer in high school. We would enter the field at each of our home games to “We Will Rock You.” One year, after we won a major tournament, someone turned on “We are the Champions” on repeat on their car stereo really loud. Our entire team was dancing in the parking lot while the losing team had to walk by us. I have been a huge Queen fan since then. Who knew, 10 years later, my two year old would be rocking out to Queen every day. He sings all the words to “We will Rock You”, “Somebody to Love”, and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”.
