Vinyl Tribute Playlist – Remembering Freddie Mercury

Here’s a vinyl‑style remembrance playlist curated to honour Freddie Mercury’s passing on 24 November 1991. It is sequenced as if you were flipping through a double LP: Side A celebrates his flamboyant brilliance, Side B leans into the poignancy and legacy.

Side A – The Show Must Go On (Celebration of Life)

• Queen – “Don’t Stop Me Now” (1979)
  Pure joy, Freddie at his most exuberant. A track that feels like champagne bubbles on vinyl.
• Queen – “Radio Ga Ga” (1984)
  Anthemic, theatrical, with that iconic hand‑clap chorus. A reminder of his ability to turn pop into ritual.
• Queen – “Somebody to Love” (1976)
  Gospel‑infused power, showcasing Freddie’s vocal range and emotional depth.
• Queen – “Killer Queen” (1974)
  Witty, stylish, and decadent—Freddie’s playful side immortalized in glam rock.

Side B – Love of My Life (Reflection & Farewell)

• Queen – “Love of My Life” (1975)
  A tender ballad, often dedicated to fans in live shows. Perfect for quiet remembrance.
• Queen – “Who Wants to Live Forever” (1986)
  Brian May’s composition, but Freddie’s delivery makes it hauntingly eternal.
• Queen – “The Show Must Go On” (1991)
  Released just weeks before his death, it became his defiant farewell.
• Queen – “Bohemian Rhapsody” (1975)
  The magnum opus—operatic, playful, tragic, and timeless. A fitting close to the record.
