During their career, Queen released a whopping 18 chart-topping albums and 18 number one singles, shifting more than 300 million albums worldwide. More importantly, however, their song Don’t Stop Me Now soundtracked one of the best bits in Shaun of the Dead. Get in.

  • Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicyle BIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiicycle BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICYCLE i want to ride my BIKE!
  • Cool. Queen isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I'm glad to see Rock Band is still getting some great support.
  • Finally, "Don't Stop Me Now".
  • Don't Stop Me Now = Insta-buy But more Queen, and still no Princes of the Universe = disappointed
  • YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
  • Nice, I'll have to tell my friend about this. He still plays rhythm games religiously
  • I listen to Queen and enjoy listening to them, but I've only heard a few of the songson this list. I listened and watched all of them on Rock Band's website just now and the others sound good too.
  • There's not a bad song in that list...cannot wait!
  • Thats to bad they should have put these songs on rocksmith.
  • I literally yelled out loud when I saw this. Will be the first full pack in a long time. I'm so hyped
  • omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg
  • "Don't Stop Me Now" made my day.
  • Wooo Queen!!! R.I.P Freddie 20 years, and the music is still fucking awesome :D
  • Don't Stop Me Now. Finally!
  • The Show Must Go On... Holy fuck, that's going to be one bitch on vocals.
  • No Bohemian Raphsody? BLASPHEMY!
  • @16 ... Uhh, you do know it's already on Rock Band 3, right?
  • The Show Must Go On! FINALLY! QUEEN
  • Bohemian Rahpsody is already on the Rock Band 3 Disc...tut tut tut
  • Holy shit at Seven Seas of Rhye. This is going to be awesome.
  • @4 If they ever put that song in the game, I would probably kill whoever else was in the room with me while screaming "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!" I'm going to have so much fun playing "Bicycle" that I might shit myself!
  • This well and truly makes amends for that Nickelback track pack from two weeks ago and We Built this City from last week :) . The only Queen songs that I can remotely accuse of being glaring absences from Rock Band are Death on Two Legs, Brighton Rock, Flick of the Wrist and Lily of the Valley.
  • Take me to the future of you ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! Im a little depressed I wont be rocking out to this. I really want to yell the YEAH! YEAH! part! hahahaha they had better release this and it better have PRO EVERYTHING! And to you that don't know this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ1WyBGG_Vw
  • @22... Im still a little bitter about that. Think of the resources they wasted on that trash!?!? They could have spent it better like working on Princes of the Universe.
  • Nice. I'm buying a keyboard for this Monday night. Looks like I'll be playing some Queen come tuesday
  • Don't stop me now I'm havin' such a good time, I'm havin' a ball Don't stop me now If you wanna have a good time, just gimme a call Don't stop me now 'cause I'm havin' a good time Don't stop me now Yes, I'm havin' a good time I don't wanna stop at all!
  • Don't Stop Me Now? YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! FINALLY!
  • Been waiting for Don't Stop Me Now and The Show Must Go On for a long time!
  • .......and there goes my 1200 MS Points xD
  • WOW! What a pack! Now this is what they should be releasing weekly! For all those who don't know "Radio Ga Ga", it's a very powerful song about life BEFORE music TV, much like Rush's "Spirit of Radio" and will have you wanting to go out to your car, find the best classic rock station and jam out all day lol xD. Also, "Bicycle Race" is a classic. "The Show Must Go On" is the last official Queen track on-album (off of "Inuendo") with Freddie Mercury and it serves as a fitting, although eery finale to Queen's legacy. "You're My Best Friend" is a good song, but eh....it's a bit overplayed on the radio for my taste. A lot of you may recognize "Stone Cold Crazy" from Guitar Hero: Metallica and it's a great old-school rock song. The only Queen song I'm waiting for now is "Love of My Life" (Live), but that probably won't happen because it's just acoustic guitar and vocals lol. Still waiting on my Pink Floyd and Zeppelin, but this will keep me content, for now.
  • Please, Harmonix, take my money!
  • @ 31 Agreed lol. Great pack! Good job Harmonix!
  • Harmonix has definitely taken over especially since the guitar hero series is done :( Guess I'll be blowing more money on DLC :) Although they should take requests more often
  • I wish I had the M$ points for this pack, not a bad song on the setlist. But, why no "Princes of the Universe" still?
  • Don't stop me now!!! Finally! I wanted that song on RB for a looong time!
  • Yay!! But we need some Daft Punk since rb3 has keyboards...
  • Forget that lot wheres Flash,Gordons alive!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • w00t, nice selection, I'll be buying some of these, starting with Don't Stop Me Now :D
