This week on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast, I'm launching a new series, “Signature Songs,” exploring the single track most associated with the greatest artists in rock-n-roll. To kick off the series, I'm starting with Queen, reviewing their major hits as well as the criteria for what defines a signature song beyond simple chart success.

Queen is a special problem—because they didn’t just have hits, they had cultural events. Stadium anthems, radio staples, singalongs that have outlived entire eras… and more than a few songs that could credibly wear the crown.

In this episode, I lay out the shortlist, break down what makes a true signature song (recognition, impact, longevity, identity—not just numbers), and then I make the call. **I won’t spoil the final pick here—**but I will say this: you’ll probably have a strong opinion, and I want to hear it.

Before the reveal: what’s your Queen signature song? Drop it in the comments.
