Name your three favourite songs by... [Phil Collins]

[Puckoon]

Back in the teenage discos in the 80's in the old cold rural dancehalls, when Wonderful Tonight came on, it signaled the start of the slow set. It had the added bonus that if you couldn't find a girl to dance with (or were refused), it was the one slow song that you could at least still play air guitar to until the good stuff started up again.

Peaches and Diesel
His guitar solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps

And if you covet the singers girl on above song, sure might as well write a great song about her too.

Layla

Upstaged Mightily by the wee fella from Minnesota

[J70]

The Layla outro in Goodfellas is iconic.

Brilliant piece, both the music and the scene in the film.

Although large part of the credit for ithe music goes to others. Think it was the drummer who wrote it and played piano on it. And on both parts of the song, Duane Allman's guitar was at least as prominent as Clapton's.

[AustinPowers]

Looks like Clapton has  had his day...

Another?

How about Queen?

[tiempo]

In no particular order...

Under Pressure feat. David Bowie
Hammer to Fall
Bohemian Rhapsody

Have seen 3 or 4 documentaries and the movie on Freddie, always found them emotive, Live Aid was one hell of a performance

[weareros]

Sadly never saw them live with Freddie in concert but did catch Brian May and Roger Taylor who I'd have up there with all the great guitarists and drummers of all time. Deacon was unsung bass player too - his riff in Under Pressure was something else. Add Freddie's vocals and you had some band.

Killer Queen

Love of my Life
(when Brian now sings this with a video of Freddie completing song, it's very haunting)

Bohemian Rhapsody
(went to see original lyrics at Sotheby's auction and was originally called Mongolian Rhapsody. Epic piece of music).

[Tones]

These Are the Days of Our Lives

Who wants to Live Forever

Don't stop me now.

[Mourne Red]

I Want to Break Free
Who Wants to Live Forever
Radio Ga Ga

[lurganblue]

It's very hard to pick 3 from Queen as they have so many top class tunes.  I'd never skid a Queen song when it comes on in the car.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterpiece
Dont Stop Me Now
Crazy Little Thing Called love, as something a little different

[Captain Obvious]

Few average to poor songs with one of the best ever vocalist whom had great stage presence.

The Show must go on
Who Wants to Live Forever
Fat Bottomed Girls

[jcpen]

One of the greatest bands ever.Picking just 3 is almost impossible but here are 3 anyway.

Don't stop be now.

One Vision.

Somebody to love.

[Tony Baloney]

1. Radio Ga Ga - specifically the televised version from Live Aid. Talk about owning a stage!

2. Bohemian Rhapsody

3. The Show Must Go On. I could pick any number for my 3rd choice but I'd keep 1 and 2.

Under pressure
The days of our lives is heartbreaking
Another one bites the dust

[thewobbler]

Under Pressure, clear no.1. Understated and elegant composition ramped up with a roaring baseline.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love, just a genius song. Plenty of songs have wanted to be it. But nothing sounds like it.

Not sure anyone could really leave Bohemian Rhapsody out. It and Queen are symbiotic.

[Puckoon]

Where to start! Think this is damn near impossible.

Killer Queen
Tie your mother down
Don't stop me now

Who wants to live forever if I can throw in a 4th.

Not every day that we agree, but this is spot on.
