        HA! -- nm - Remlik Oct 1, 08:40
      - It's a great concert song. -- nm - BB Oct 1, 08:38
      - Many songs earn their rank simply by when I first heard them. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 08:36 2
        
        it had better have been a major life moment then -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 08:39 1
        
        Oh... it was. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 08:41

- the only folks who think Princes of the Universe is one of the top 4 Queen songs are way geekier than I am. -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 08:28 15
  - Not meant as "top". Just if I was a person that only knew 3 or 4, STL it would be one of them. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 08:29 13
    - As long as you know that its a Queen song. I admittedly did not know who that song was by. -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 08:31 11
      - This actually amazes me if you mean you heard the original and did not know. - Spawn Oct 1, 08:35 10
        
        the original. I actually thought a chick sang that song. -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 08:35 9
        
        oh wait. i think i'm thinking of a different song, and now have no clue what this Queen song is. -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 08:37 8

        because I've rewatched that so many times. :) -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 08:41 2
        
        It's pretty much the only memorable part from that movie. -- nm - Shaun Oct 1, 08:44
        
        You shut up. -- nm - Shaun Oct 1, 08:42
        
        *sigh* - Spawn Oct 1, 08:38 3
        
        Good, not-just-good-to-old-people music. Queen is not a band I've made a priority to go back and investigate. -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 08:39 2
        
        (and really, maybe I've heard it, but reading the lyrics it's not ringing the proverbial bell.) -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 08:40 1
