To celebrate the release of the new album from Queen, Absolute Greatest, we're giving you the chance to win a limited edition Brian May guitar, signed by the man himself!
Someone ought to erect a monument to Queen! Think about it: they've ruled their game longer than many of our most famous leaders, their words can be repeated by many more than can recite our most celebrated writers, and despite more than three generations passing since they first blasted their way into our lives, they're just as big today as they ever were. The new Absolute Greatest hits package is released on November 13 and we're giving you the chance to win a copy plus play-off for the autographed Brian May guitar! How cool is that!?
Simply click on the 'contact us' link on our homepage and tell us your favourite Queen song (and why it's your fave) in 25 words or less. We'll choose the most creative entries to take part in a Queen music trivia challenge all next week with the eventual winner walking away with the Brian May autographed guitar. Also- don't forget to leave your number!!

2009 has been a huge year for AC/DC and to top it off, they’ve been nominated for a whopping FOUR ARIA Awards (Album Of The Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album and Highest Selling Australian Album).
But there’s one slight problem... AC/DC can’t make it out to Oz for the ARIAs, as they’re currently on the road with their Black Ice World Tour. So should the band win an ARIA Award, and of course we won’t know until the night, ARIA needs someone to personally present the band with their award… in Miami! Of course we said, "just leave it to us".
Now this is a big deal and has never happened before in ARIA history – a member of the public presenting an award! That person could be you...
But the prize gets BIGGER - yes, BIGGER. Not only will you and a friend get to meet the band in Miami, we’ll also be sending you to Puerto Rico to see them play LIVE. This is the ultimate money can’t buy experience! And it's all to celebrate AC/DC’s ARIA nominations, the continued success of their latest album Black Ice and the forthcoming Nov 13th release of Backtracks - a collection of live and studio rarities on CD and DVD, including the long awaited Family Jewels 3 DVD.
So how can all this be yours? Well, just click on the ‘send email’ link to the right and tell us in 100 words or less your favourite AC/DC song lyrics and why. We’ll be looking for our favourite entries to SING those lyrics on-air. The most pasionate singer will win this trip of a lifetime - so don’t forget to leave your contact number!
So don’t do it for your mum, your kids or your next door neighbour… DO IT FOR AC/DC... and you’ll have an AC/DC experience you’ll never forget.!
