Bohemian Rhapsody, the blockbuster film, immersed a new generation in the brilliance and charisma of the late and great Freddie Mercury. Since its debut, the country has developed a new appreciation for Freddie Mercury Tribute Acts. Freddie was a pioneer, and his musicality demonstrated that he was ahead of his time. An act that belongs in the twenty-first century rather than the twentieth. We look at some of the greatest tunes and the tales behind them, as well as some of the best tribute bands you can hire to bring some of the lyrical genius to your event.

Here are our top Five Anthems associated with Freddie Mercury and Queen

1) Bohemian Rapsody

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is acknowledged as one of the classics of twentieth-century popular music, yet Freddie Mercury stated that he almost rejected it in its early phases. “People still ask me what ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is about, and I tell them I don’t know.” “I believe it destroys the myth and the mystery that people have built up,” Mercury stated. “‘Rhapsody’ is one of those tunes that has a fantasy vibe to it.” I believe people should just listen to it, reflect on it, and then determine for themselves what it means to them.” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which inspired the 2019 biography of the artist, contains an operatic element that influenced “Barcelona.” The song was full of clever wordplay delivered in lovely harmonies. “Someone said it was like Cecil B De Mille meets Walt Disney,” remarked Mercury, who sat at the keyboard and performed a piece of this tour de force song at the outset of Queen’s famed Live Aid show in 1985, the same year he launched his solo album, Mr Bad Guy.

2) Don’t Stop Me Now

Queen fans picked the chorus of “Don’t Stop Me Now” as the band’s “greatest ever lyric” in 2011. “Don’t stop me now/I’m having such a wonderful time/I’m having a ball,” Freddie Mercury sung on Jazz, the band’s 1978 album. “I like to think I compose songs in a variety of styles, depending on my mood,” Mercury stated. “Don’t Stop Me Now” captures Mercury at his most upbeat, life-affirming.

3) I Was Born to Love You

I’m a true romantic, declared Freddie Mercury, who is most known for the disco love ballad “I Was Born to Love You” from his film Mr. Bad Guy. A gorgeous music video that was choreographed by Arlene Phillips and directed by David Mallet was released to go along with the song. In America, the song became popular and debuted in the Billboard Top 100.

4) We are the Champions

Nobody has written a finer anthem song than Freddie Mercury, as evidenced by the 1977 song “We Are the Champions,” which was featured on Queen’s album News Of The World. The most narcissistic and arrogant song Mercury has ever written is “We Are the Champions,” he admitted. “When I composed it, I had football in mind. I desired a fan-friendly song that would encourage engagement. A broad audience was the target. Like a football chant, I wanted to create a song that anyone could sing and stomp along to.

5) We Will Rock You

“We Are The Champions” and “We Will Rock You” have become cultural classics in their own right. They were released as a double-A-side single from the News Of The World album, reaching No.2 in the UK and No.4 in the US. The song was performed by boy band 5ive in 2000, with guest appearances from Brian May on guitar and Roger Taylor on drums, and reached No. 1. “We established ourselves as a rock anthem band with “We Will Rock You,” May stated. “We really should have done an album called Anthems.”
