Things You Do To Me--Robert Cray
You Move Me--Aretha Franklin
Burden In My Hand--Soundgarden
Torn and Frayed--Rolling Stones

When I was setting up my PC with Audacity to convert my vinyl to mp3s, that's the song I listened to first to make sure I had true stereo and not dual channel mono. It was cool to watch the signal levels drop to zero in one channel and spike in the opposite one. The stereo in that song is amazing. Queen was able to take stereo to the extreme there, but not sound too gimmicky. They did a great job, as usual.

But no way does it belong in this thread. :)

We do that one in a band of mine. Jimmy was *so* awesome. Big, big 2nd from me on this one, man. Sniff...

"Confusion...will be my epitath
As I cross...a cracked and broken path.
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow, I'll be crying."

Hell, yes. Another big 2nd!
