Best Queen Covers

[Glitterwolf]

With the Bohemian Rhapsody movie being such a succes and knowing a lot of forumites like Queen's music, I was wondering what you would consider to be good covers of Queen's music.

 

We all know the original which can't be beaten of course.

But the music lives on, and as a tribute many bands covered Queen.

 

What do you think to be a good cover?

More than one answer is possible.

 

I thought this might be fun.

So here I go:

One does not simply cover Queen! Normally I do like covers, because they can be quite good. But in this case, I never found anyone who could compete with the unique sound Queen created.

 

I do not appreciate it. It's simply heresy.

The Protomen did a whole album of Queen covers a while back. Check Bandcamp for them.

I'm fond of this rendition by acapella group Pentatonix, both for the sound (which is lovely) and for the video, which is amusing to watch.

Does the Freddie Mercury farewell concert count?  There's the rendition of "Under Pressure" by Annie Lennox and David Bowie that's spot on.  https://youtu.be/NLC6tkg38K8

Every time I see the thread title I think "wow, we sure do take our bed linens seriously" and expect a discussion o n who makes the best sheets, and why they're so comfy....
