Sorry if this has been posted. ultimateclassicrock.com/john-deacon-queen-songs/Queen are one of the few classic-rock bands in which all four members individually participated in the songwriting process. Even though bassist John Deacon set himself apart as the group’s least visible and vocal participant (literally — he’s the only one who did not sing), this most private of rock stars was responsible for composing some of Queen’s biggest global hits. Just read on and you may find yourself amazed, as we delve into the Top 10 John Deacon Queen Songs. Read More: Top 10 John Deacon Queen Songs | ultimateclassicrock.com/john-deacon-queen-songs/?trackback=tsmclipI Want to Break Free’ From: 'The Works' (1984) Even though ' I Want to Break Free' is closely associated with Freddie Mercury, Deacon composed the song for 1984's 'The Works.' Mercury barely concealed his gay lifestyle in the song's hilariously tongue-in-cheek video. But 'I Want to Break Free' is Deacon's creation and was a worldwide smash that almost everyone could relate to. Its message about freedom – be it personal, political, spiritual, etc. -- connected in almost every country except the U.S., where the video's crossdressing humor was totally lost on MTV and other mainstream outlets, which promptly banned it. So much for the land of the free … Hear 'I Want to Break Free’ This article was written by someone who did not do a lot of research -- but copied things from other articles and picked up errors in the process -- for example, IWTBF was only released in 16 countries and only sold well in one, the UK where it is Gold. >> I am just tired of reading this MTV myth. MTV did not have the power to keep a song from being a hit in 1984. "By 1984, MTV was reaching 1.2 percent of the daily television audience, and more than a quarter of daily teen viewers." Steve Greenberg, "Where Is Graceland?: 1980s Pop Culture", in Gil Troy and Vincent J. Cannato, Living in the Eighties: Viewpoints on American Culture (Oxford University Press US, 2009) p159 Via Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV_Generation#cite_note-4I think it is easier and more fun to blame a "banned" music video for Queen's lack of success with IWTBF in the US. Perhaps everyone who writes this should be forced to listen to Queen's "Body Language" [#11 in the US 1982] so they can consider the fact that Queen's music and the US rock audience and rock PDs did not allign in 1984. In fact, Queen pretty much left US rock fans in the dust in 1980. But it was banned over there, yeah? I lived in Canada during the early 90's and MTV and MuchMusic were MASSIVE then. I remember Frankie Goes To Hollywood's 'Relax' being banned in the UK and reaching no.1 probably for that very reason.

Glad Adam is in Europe.
U-T Entertainment @utnightday 7m7 minutes ago So who should @taylorswift13 duet w at @petcopark? @adamlambert? @pod? @tomwaits? bit.ly/1WXRSxz
Whats the issue here? TS is the biggest popstar on the planet. A duet with.Adam, would be awesome, and a great moment for Adam. Not sure why some Adam fans are againgst Adam collabing with artists like Taylor. I don't happen to think she can carry a note and I don't find her songs very interesting or artistic and I'm glad Adam isn't getting involved in all that hype. I don't happen to care for her music which is just my opinion of which I have a right to express. A duet? Big no for me. That's my opinion and I don't speak for any other Adam fans. "biggest popstar on the planet"...Sorry not to me...guess my criteria on that is different from yours...but..it's all good because diversity makes it interesting to 'agree to disagree'. Got to go to dinner. BBL.

While we all know him being there is not possible, it would be a huge get for him to be included in one of these walkons. As annoying as she may be to some, those appearances are huge media magnets. Every single one of them gets covered locally and nationally. And not to overlook the new audience that would hear him. He would be insane to pass up that type exposure if offered and available.
