Best Of Mahotella Queens, The - Mahotella Queens

Advantages: Good classic music........
Disadvantages: When Freddie died...............

...?. Queen's greatest asset was perhaps the voice of frontman Freddie Mercury. He had an amazing voice which was capable of just about anything. he had the kind of voice that makes you want to scream when you hear some wannabe band try and cover his song, because they belonged to him. It was a shame when he died as he was queen's heart. Tracks on this set include: Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites the Dust, Bicycle Race, Don't Stop Me Now, Good Old Fashioned Loverboy, We Will Rock You, Radio Ga Ga, Hammer To Fall, The Show Must Go On, Headlong, You're My Best Friend, and several others. There are 17 songs on each disc, which make a total of 34 examples of classic Queen. Since Queen finished the remaining members of the group teamed up with Five to do " We will rock you". Which was awesome as they did it so well.... Read review

Advantages: One of Queens Greatest Albums
Disadvantages: May not be to everyones taste at first

...Queen began life as a glam rock band and were signed to EMI late in 1972. The band consisted of Brian May (guitar), Freddie Mercury (lead vocals / piano), Roger Taylor ( drums ) and John Deacon ( Bass ).

Queen continued to tour extensively and recorded a second album, Queen II, which fulfilled a lot of their early promise by reaching the UK Top 5. Seven Seas Of Rhye from this album gave them their first hit single. This album starts off with the grandeur what is Queen, an instrumental song called Procession. Played by Brian May, this piece demonstrates what Queen were all about - excellent harmonies, guitar orchestration and great songs. I have detailed the Track Listing Below. My thoughts on the tracks are in brackets after each... Read review

Advantages: nice music | good old classics
Disadvantages: not all the good hits are there

...Queen Greatest Hits is a very good album to listen to, it has all the songs that you will like, and plus the ones that everyone knows, I will be giving information to all the tracks and all about the CD and other things also, so I hope that this review will be useful to you and maybe even interest you in buying this album. Tracks 1) Bohemian Rhapsody ------ Duration 5.58 minutes This track is one of my favourites, it goes on for 5.58 minutes, and it was first played in the year of 1975, when they first recorded this song. This song was written by Freddie Mercury (Queen’s lead singer). Queen released this song in October 1975 from their first number one album, which has been there best. This song was in the top 10 for like 20 years, which is very good. I really like this song, it has classic rock, with other tones, and good... Read review
