15 Greatest Queen Songs Of All Time
4. We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions
From: News of the World (1977)
Okay, so I’m cheating with this one, but look at it this way: the two tracks were commercially released together as a single, they were usually performed one after the other in live performances and are always played together when on the radio. Tune in to any classic rock station and if “We Will Rock You” is playing, chances are “We Are the Champions” will start playing immediately after. They’re inseparable, thus they tie for this spot.
No sporting event is complete without these two tracks, either. “We Will Rock You” has that us vs them vibe that will always get people singing, and for the team that wins the game, what better song to celebrate the victory than “We are the Champions”? None, that’s what.
If there are any Queen songs known by everyone, even those who’ve never heard of the band (yes, they exist, unfortunately), it’s these two.
