This Queen CD has given me hours of enjoyment from a group that is second to none. There sound is unique and allows them to stand out among the rest. Their music has stayed alive for years even though the highlight of their popularity was in the seventies. Queen will go on indefinitely as timeless music that can be enjoyed and relished for many years to come. I have no regrets with this CD and wouldn't hesitate to buy other albums from this more revered, admired, and talented group. Remember Queen, "You are the Champions!"

I LOVE this! It's cheap too. It would be nice if i've heard of all of the songs on here but I'll force myself to like them. It has all of the songs I like by Queen, also exept for one: Bohemian Rhapsody. As said by the person below, where is it? That's okay. Queen is still as awesome as ever especially with the greatest hits. Get this!

The is one of the best albums I own. Yes, as stated in some other reviews, it doesn't have every song you want, but you just can fit them all on one disc, and this is a great start. I love every song on this album and keep coming back to it year after year while other bands may not keep my interest. This album got me hooked on Queen, as well as family and friends since many songs on this album (as opposed to classic queen) are quite catchy and upbeat. Highly highy recommended if you are at all interested in Queen.

Queen was a remarkably prolific band; and they put out records that made people listen! Their brand of rock and roll was all their own: not just over the top but seriously dramatic when it was necessary. This CD gives us just some of Queen's greatest hits.
The CD track set begins with the famous ballad "We Will Rock You." The beat is low and firm; Freddy Mercury's voice is perfect to sing this song about a mixture of teenage angst and tentative hopefulness for the future. The chorus works wonders for this number which rocks REALLY hard! The electric guitars at the end make this number even better still! Of course, the track ends and goes immediately into "We Are The Champions." Often used as an anthem by sports teams and listened to repeatedly by people who felt they were underdogs alike, "We Are The Champions" sports a poignant melody as the lyrics foretell of inevitable success in life. Awesome introductory numbers for this album!
"Another One Bites The Dust" gives us a rather dark number about the perils of life--not just death but unrequited love, angst, loneliness and inescapable sorrow--not to mention revenge. "Another One Bites The Dust" sports a great rockin' beat and Freddy sings this at his very best! "Killer Queen" sports a beautiful melody that molds together rock and some instruments that sound as if they come from another century long gone! "Killer Queen" explores the life of a woman who hurts her men without caring about their feelings. Awesome! The electric guitars fit in perfectly, too.
"Somebody To Love" begins with a gospel sounding chorus and when the band and Freddy kick in this number takes flight! The backup vocals enhance this number and "Somebody To Love" really rocks hard! This is one ballad that truly explores the feelings a man has when he needs a woman to be his one true love. Excellent! The ending crescendo makes this number shine all the more, too.
"Fat Bottomed Girls" starts off sounding like a country ballad--until the band kicks in with their electric guitars to show the true nature of this track! Freddy and the band give a salute to their big bottomed ladies with this number; and the guitars never miss a beat.
"You're My Best Friend" may be one Queen hit that many, many people have heard in public places where there music plays. This classic rock ballad deals with the joy Freddy's character feels for his one true love; his woman is also his best friend. "You're My Best Friend" gives us a joyous number that celebrates the never ending happiness of true love. "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" sports a great beat and the hand clapping sounds enhance the number, too. "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" deals with the feelings people have when they are in love. Perfect!
"Seven Seas Of Rhye" begins with a great musical flourish; and Freddy sings this to perfection! The guitars are great on "Seven Seas Of Rhye" and this is one song you'll want to listen to over and over again. Good percussion, too. "Don't Stop Me Now" features Freddy singing and playing piano for a touching number about a man who wants to take the night off to celebrate his good fortune in life. When Freddy sings "there's no stopping me," you really believe him! SMILE
"Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" gives us a number for which Freddy and the band sing of a man who wants to woo his woman using old fashioned romantic technique. The piano works wonders for this number and the melody glistens like gold! Wow!
The liner notes include great color photos of Queen over the years and you learn which songs came from which albums.
Some reviewers note that this album doesn't have all of Queen's greatest hits. For example, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is not on this CD. Huge Queen fans will want to purchase Greatest Hits, part 2 and other Queen retrospective CDs as well.
Queen remains a strong force in the music industry despite the passage of time. Their CDs sell well to this day; and aspiring rock artists would do well to study their artistry. Get this album and enjoy it today!
