Reviews:
The Most popular rock album ever!
This album is the most popular in Rock, ever! They tried to pull it off the shelves but the cries were too loud. It is also re-mastered. Queen greatest hits. I love this CD as it contains all the best hits of the grpoup especially Bohemian Rhapsody. The best of Queen's compilation albums The original Queen Greatest hits album , first released in 1981 , this was the album that first got me hooked on Queen when I was 12.
It includes all of Queen's top 20 hits between 1974 and 1980.
Personal favourites include:
The classic rock opera masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody (1975)
The debonair Killer Queen (1974)
The rollicking Fat Bottomed Girls (1978)
The laidback You're My Best Friend (1975)
The glam rock Seven Seas of Rhye (1974)
The funky Don't Stop Me Now (1978)
The hypnotic Somebody To Love (1976)
and the whimsical Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy (1976)
Songs that should have been included are Keep Yourself Alive (1973)
Doin Allright (1973)
and
39 (1975).
Still the best of Queen's compilation albums.
If you haven't seriously explored Queen's earlier work this is a good place to start and should get you hooked on all their albums from the 1974 to 1980 period.
Does not include any song that is less than superb! Queen rocked to stardom in the 1970s, with Freddie Mercury's (1946-91) silky voice leading. They produced many excellent songs, and were popular worldwide, right up until Freddie Mercury's death from AIDS in 1991. Throughout my youth, I loved Queen's sound, and their many wonderful songs - and now I have them again!
This fantastic album contains all of Queen's greatest songs, including Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen, Save Me, and of course We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions. Yes, that's right, this album has the greatest Queen hits, and does not include any song that is less than superb! If you are a fan of Queen then this is definitely an album you must get. Heck, even if you just love great rock `n' roll in general, you will love this CD.
This is a great CD, one that I cherish and would not be without. I give this album my highest recommendations!
Mine is one from 1981 Darn when cd's first came out what you where looking for was hard to find. And Queen was at the top of my list to get something into my budding cd collection. I finally found this at our local record store as the vinyl was slowly circling its drain due to cd's. And yes the first Queen I saw on the shevles was this import. Darn glad I got it that day even though I considered the price steep due to it being an import it still took the cd industry some years to get all of the choices you have now days I do not need another queen this on did me fine though its play list is different from what they have here tracks 1 - 6 are the same the rest go like this
7.Don't Stop Me Now
8.Save Me
9.Crazy Little Thing Called Love
10.Somebody To Love
11.Now I'm Here
12.Good Old-Fashoned Lover Boy
13.Play The Game
14.Flash
15.Seven Seas Of Rhye
16.We Will Rock You
17.We Are The Champions
What can I say this order works for me. And if you want more Queen than this hey go for it I do not blame you good stuff from a great band that started in the 70's. No one else like them. I still remeber driving down the road to tapes I made from the vinyl I had of them. |
