    1: An absolute eargasm - Roger Taylor's best song and a beautiful testament to his skills. Be it the genius arrangements (I can listen to the instrumental alone on loop, without boring out), poignant / introspective lyrics ("There's all the more reasons for living and dying / when you're young and your troubles are all very small"), and more impressively, the seamless octave-low jump between chorus and bridge that brings out the best in two worlds. Roger, I repeat, does not receive enough credit as a vocalist. Probably the most beautiful thing Queen - hell, any band - has ever done.
