Can any song pair match 'We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You'??

Question

I notice that when radio stations play Queens' "We Will Rock You" they immediately go into "We Are The Champions". They seem to always go together.

I believe that those 2 songs are in a special place in rock music because they are both so universal and played all over the world. No one dislikes those 2 songs.

Music fans. Do you know of any other "one-two punch" of a song that is in the same league as "Rock You/Champions"?

2 songs that go together? Songs that are played back to back?

Answer 1

No one dislikes those two songs? You're wrong.

I dislike "We are the Champions". It's a pious, pat-yourself-on-the-back, piece of crap song. "We Will Rock You" is a much stronger song, and can stand on its own. I always turn the radio OFF when "We Will Rock You" ends, so I don't have to listen to the piece of crap that always follows it.

And, the two songs do NOT go together.

You want to know two songs that do go together? "Falling In and Out of Love / Amie" by Pure Prairie League. The two song are closely linked musically, stylistically, and lyrically.

I also like "Waitin' for the Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago" by ZZ Top.

Or, how about "Dreamboat Annie (Fantasy Child) / Crazy On You" by Heart?

Answer 2

Here are some I can think of:

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/With A Little Help From My Friends by The Beatles

Bye Bye Love/Moving In Stereo by The Cars

No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature by The Guess Who

Real Good Man/The Ride by Tim McGraw

Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go by Soft Cell

I'm Your Captain/Closer To Home by Grand Funk Railroad

This isn't exactly a pair of songs but three songs that Elvis Presley often sang in concert as part of a set. It's called American Trilogy.

Answer 3

I dislike both of those songs. We are the champions is just some piece of sh*t karaoke song, and we will rock you, well that's just a terrible song. If Freddie Mercury wasn't such a good performer, then Queen would never have been famous - i really don't think that they had much songwriting talent. their most famous song (bohemian rhapsody) is only well known for it's novelty value, as are a lot of their songs

Answer 4

i became bored and could now not sleep as quickly as so I randomly became on the television and there became some teach with regard to the precise a hundred maximum suitable Rock Songs, and scents Like teenager Spirit by skill of Nirvana became in it. i understand the music is slightly overplayed, yet as quickly as I first heard it, I enjoyed it :D i began out listening to a brilliant variety of Nirvana and offered a biography on Kurt Cobain, and finished it (two times, lol.) Then my dad presented me to the Ramones, intercourse Pistols, lifeless Kennedys, the conflict, and a bunch of punk rock bands, because he became into punk while he became my age. My mom presented me to Led Zeppelin, Queen, the Rolling Stones, the doorways, pink Floyd, and different classic rock bands because she became into that variety of stuff while she became youthful. i don't hear to Nirvana too lots anymore, yet i will nonetheless in no way overlook how they replaced my existence forever :D BQ: My admired present day band is the Animals, and that i won't be able to furnish up listening to We Gotta Get Out of This place. :D BBQ: Yeah, somebody as quickly as asked a question with regard to the historic previous of Nirvana. because I examine a biography on Kurt Cobain, I spoke back it and Yahoo solutions suggested it became too long and had to be shortened. -.- So I went lower back and took out some issues and it ended up being approximately 8 paragraphs, haha. BBBQ: The doorways, Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, The Casualties, 7 Seconds, Suicide gadget, AC/DC, The Kinks, the checklist does not quite end...

Answer 5

Alone, there are plenty of songs that could slay either one of those songs, but together, no way. Those two songs are pretty much among the most famous in the world, and are iconic anthems. We Will Rock You serves as the arrogant challenge, and We Are The Champions as the strident song of triumph. So no, together, those songs pretty much are untouchable.

Answer 6

I think they play these songs together because there is no break Between the two songs on the album So the DJ just lets the second song play rather that fading it out seconds into the second song

Answer 7

Maybe not as good as the two you mentioned, but Elton John's "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" are a great pair of songs usually played together.

Answer 8

that happened to me today! they played We Will Rock You then went right into We Are The Champions. i can't think of two better pairs at the moment.
