9. “Tie Your Mother Down” is from their 1976 album A Day at the Races. Brian May started writing the song and came up with the guitar riff on a Spanish guitar. He started working on the song one day and started singing “tie your mother down.” What started off as a joke became to be a hit single thanks to Mercury encouraging May to work with that line. The Foo Fighters have been one of many who have covered this song.
