Queen and David Bowie - Under pressure (vocals only) 

YOU MUST HEAR THIS 

If you think your blog doesn’t need this, you are wrong.  Wrong like a wrong thing that is wrong.

Step 1: Put on headphones. Step 2: Turn this up. Step 3. AGAIN, LOUDER.

Seriously, my favorite Queen track AND my favorite Bowie track gets better for hearing it stripped down, all the better to appreciate the delicate dance between the power of the vocals and the finesse of the engineering as voices are compressed then opened back up. 

Bonus points for being able to tease out Roger’s vocal contributions!

This really is a must-listen. PLAY IT AGAIN LOUDER.

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen, for my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great — You have no power over me.
