Another day, another time to face the music... So, let's do this!

What this is about? It's a musical challenge (Music A to Z Challenge) created by psos@psos that obeys the alphabetical order where each participant has to remember two artists (singers / bands) with the letter of the day (today the letter is Q) and two songs that belong to them.

Don't forget about this: A brief comment on the chosen songs is also necessary.

Here are my choices:

Queen - "Under Pressure"

Some musical genres would not have the strength they currently have had it not been for the work created and the path paved by previous artists and Rock has a lot to thank this band (Freddie Mercury and his guys), which is timeless and so significant in so many ways. The band has an incredible repertoire and this song is an example of the power they have.

From the beginning to the end, this song is incredible and even after so long of being released, it is still so important, fresh and new (for being able to talk to the reality of the society in which we live today). Its meaning is very strong, the lyrics are very intelligent, the melody has an infectious rhythm and the vocals are excellent (as usual).

Queens Of The Stone Age - "The Way You Used To Do"

Another classic within the Rock scene and although it does not have the popularity of the group mentioned above, they are also very important for the construction of the scene within Rock music because they have significant jobs (although they are not timeless classics) over many years within this industry.

This particular song is one of the ones I like the most. It is current, it is well written, it is well produced, it is well interpreted (with well-imposed vocals) and it has a very contagious energy from the first chords (at least for my ears). If you still don't know the work of this band... Well, this is the time to start doing that.

See ya in the next round, folks!
