It's hard not to randomly choose 10 Queen songs and not come up with an amazing set, but the October 20th Queen track pack for Rock Band manages to collect 10 of the very best.
We knew back in August that a 10-pack of Queen was on its way to Rock Band, but the only song we were sure of at the time was "Another One Bites the Dust." If you've ever been a fan of the band, even briefly, then you know all of these songs by heart. Check out the full list:
Another One Bites the Dust
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
One Vision
Fat Bottomed Girls
I Want It All
I Want to Break Free
Killer Queen
Somebody to Love
Tie Your Mother Down
Under Pressure
If you read that and didn't get all giddy, then this track pack probably isn't for you. The rest of you, get your giddy on.
