* Growing up, Brian May never had the money to buy a decent guitar. So what did he do about it? He and his father ''built'' the Red Special guitar during the early sixties. The awesome part? Said guitar is ''still'' working, half a century after it was built by a teenager and his father.

* Their single greatest SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome is their appearance at Wembley Stadium during UsefulNotes/LiveAid on July 13, 1985. Music/FreddieMercury took a hundred thousand people into the palm of his hand and led them to heaven. Several "best ever" lists voted this set as the Greatest Live Gig by Any Band '''''EVER''''', and there have been very few dissenters from this opinion.

** Part of what makes the Live Aid set so impressive in comparison to the other acts that performed is the pacing; all of the bands and artists at Live Aid had ''very'' tight time restrictions, so most only performed two or three songs (Led Zeppelin famously only played "Stairway"). Queen purposefully rehearsed and paced their set as if it still had the impact of a full Queen concert, just within a twenty minute time frame. The medley of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Radio Ga-Ga" serve as one hell of an intro, so by the time you get to "Hammer To Fall" you're off to the races! It was so awesome it had to be the first thing to film for the biopic ''Film/BohemianRhapsody''. And they recreated it ''painstakingly''.

* Their single greatest SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, though, is their appearance at Wembley Arena during Live Aid, in 1985. Freddie Mercury Music/FreddieMercury took a hundred thousand people into the palm of his hand and led them to heaven. Their set during the Live Aid event was recently voted the Greatest Live Gig By Any Band '''''EVER''''', and there have been very few dissenters from this opinion.

* Under Pressure, mainly for two reasons: 1, it's a collaboration between David Bowie, the other major GlamRock act of the era, and 2, the incredibly high, sustained note Freddie hits in the middle.
* Don't Stop Me Now, one of Queen's happiest and most upbeat songs, not to mention the best driving song in existence (according to Top Gear). Along with We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions, it's a great psyching-up song.

* The "Radio Gaga" video was more than just a ShoutOut to ''Film/{{Metropolis}}''. It literally helped pay for the restoration of the film as well as the 1984 Giorgio Moroder re-release. The band received special permission to use footage from the film in their video.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHWLVxg8MxA The Show Must Go On]] the epic, grandiose ballad filled with passion pouring from every lyric and guitar riff. Doubly so with the music video that shows a history of the band with clips of Queen's other music videos and clips of Queen's live concerts- getting across the sheer scale these guys operated at. It's as awesome as it is tearjerking.
