Queen: A Kind Of Magic (1986) - Favorite Song?

Songwise, I'd probably go for One Vision, except I much prefer live versions of it over the studio version.

On the album I'd probably go Who Wants to Live Forever, or Gimme the Prize, or Princes of the Universe.

I actually like all of it. It's probably the Queen album I listen to the most after the Queen to Day at the Races period

From Queen's A Kind of Magic, my favorite song has been "One Year of Love". It's between "Who Wants to Live Forever?", and "A Kind of Magic", too. I've liked the whole c.d., and album. Edited September 23, 2020 by Derek19

I guess one reason I love this album is because I've loved the first Highlander movie since I was a kid

There's a lot of good songs on here. I'll have to think about it.

I love the melancholy (especially retroactively) of "Who Wants to Live Forever." It sounds like a real grown-up song.

I was close to voting "Friends Will Be Friends"

that song is such an earworm to me

My pick is Who Wants To Live Forever.

 

A Kind Of Magic is a special album for me.

 

It was on the Queen tour of this album that I saw Freddie with Queen for the one and only time. (I've seen Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert with them since, but it's just not at all the same!)

 

The concert was at Slane Castle Dublin and it was an organised bus run from my home town. Everyone had a carry-out on the bus and by the time we hit Slane it was very messy indeed!!! But a great day none the less!!

Seeing Queen on the A Kind Of Magic tour at Slane Castle....you sir have lived my dream.

I voted for the title track, but it comes in very close with Who Wants To Live Forever and Princes Of The Universe. Like close enough I could change my vote any given day.

Who Want to Live Forever.

 

I also really enjoy One Vision, A Kind Of Magic, Friends with be Friends, these are just behind.

Doesn't Mercury sing "fried chicken!" at the end of "One Vision," or is my memory high on crack?

He does indeed.
