Just two more to go now!
28. A song by an artist with a voice you love.
There are a fair few voices that I love. Freddie, obviously, and also Roger Taylor. One of the reasons I love Queen so much is because of both of their voices. Dean Martin of course. Morten Harket. I could cheerfully produce a pretty mammoth collection of YouTube clips! But, since it's one band with two of my favourite voices in it, Queen do have a slight edge. So here they are again. Two clips, because there's two voices. (Shut up! It was hard enough narrowing it down this far!) The first is from Montreal '81, with bonus Bouncy John (looking impressively turquoise). Also featuring Freddie wearing nothing but tight white shorts and a baseball cap, because it's 1981, and rock bands hadn't learnt to be miserable yet.

The second is from Budapest in '86. I wanted to be good and use the official Queen channel's upload of this song, from Wembley, but they've managed to upload it in lousy quality and the wrong screen ratio. So it's got to be this version instead.

As a bonus, here's another one from Montreal. I don't know that it's exactly showing off anybody's voice, but it is a quite spectacular noise.

The baseball cap didn't last!

I love Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. They are just stupendous live. But I still eye them sometimes, as they do their thing, and think: "You're all wearing jeans. That's just... wrong..."

Fabulous voices and Freddie strutting his stuff on stage. It doesn't get better than that.
