Queen brought a whole new meaning to the phrase over the top. While rock & roll flamboyance stretched back at least as far as Little Richard, Freddie Mercury continued to camp it up, taking little seriously and smirking at the music's growing pretensions while partaking in them no small bit. Many of the band's singles hold up extremely well, such as "Killer Queen" and "You're My Best Friend". The quartet's canny sense of melody and sophisticated vocal harmonies--not to mention Mercury's raised eyebrow--have traveled well through the years. --Rickey Wright

Queen's Greatest Hits was first originally released in 1981 on Elektra Records in the US and included all of the band's classics that were huge hits in the US including "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (both #1 in the US in 1980), "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" (both hit #4 in 1978), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (#9 in 1976 in the US), "Killer Queen" (hit #11 in 1975 in the US), "Somebody to Love" (hit #11 in 1977 in the US), "You're My Best Friend" (hit #16 ...

This CD covers the very best of Queen, with one glaring omission: no "Bohemian Rhapsody". Leaving this classic out of this package is indeed very puzzling! Two other minor Billboard Top 40 hits also were not included, namely 1981's "Under Pressure", and 1984's "Radio Ga-Ga". The rest of the songs are choice cuts from previously released albums. Still not a bad set from this group who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

When Hollywood Records signed Queen in the late 80's, it seemed like the height of folly. The band had been out of the public eye for years, had not had a hit in the US for nearly a decade, and the first thing the band did was throw a huge party on the Queen Mary. Then Freddie Mercury died of AIDS in 1991, and Innuendo began to receive a second look. Then came a little film called Wayne's World.
Thanks to a pivotal scene in that movie, "Bohemian Rhapsody" took on a second chart life, ... Read More
