Rock Survey - Spread Your Wings (Queen)

Artist: Queen
Song:  Spread Your Wings
 Video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyd6OLyhPJo

Quick Thoughts: Queen is a British rock band formed in London in 1970, originally featuring Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor.  Spread Your Wings is a solid rock ballad. Written by Queen bass player John Deacon, this is a fan favorite that was never a hit. Maybe one of their most under-rated songs.

Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List:  940
Added to my Personal List?  YES
Total Songs Added to Final List: 34

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music.  My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists".  As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list.   I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
