Review of Greatest Hits Vol.1 - Queen

...song that starts off the Greatest Hits CD, and over an hour of cracking tunes. You don’t have to be a Queen fan to appreciate this album, and even if you haven’t heard of many of the songs (where have you been?!), then you will soon be taken in by the amazing vocal range of Freddie, and the guitar skills or Brian May. The sheer volume and differing styles of songs makes you appreciate the songwriting skill of the group collectively and individually, ...
...Love to the classic We Are The Champions. This CD recently found its way back to my CD player, and has been stuck on re-play ever since. I’m not going to pretend that I have the vocal skills of Mr Mecury, but I defy anyone not to sing along to the songs here! My personal favourites include: Don’t Stop Me Now – One of my first “Going out” tunes to this day, and one that has often had me dancing in the shower. Bohemian Rhapsody – Supposedly a mix ...

Review of Greatest Hits Vol.1 - Queen

Released in 1981 Queen Greatest Hits, or Greatest Hits I as it's now known due to their continued success, is a compilation of Queen's classic early albums including A Day At The Races, News Of The World, Sheer Heart Attack to name but a few. The album contains 17 of their best tracks but they are perhaps not the best 17 if you get what I mean, I'll explain later. For the newcomer to Queen (hey there must be someone out there who has never heard ...
...compilation album. To wrap up, Queen Greatest Hits is the best of the 3 such compilations that exist today and I thoroughly recommend getting hold of a copy. Whether you are a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the ways of Queen you can't help but love this album. ...

Review of Greatest Hits Vol.1 - Queen

...Bohemian Rhapsody does appear on Greatest Hits 2, but I feel it should have been on the first one!) Here is a brief comment on some of my favourite song on the album: Perhaps one of the most recognisable rock anthems of all time. This song epiimizes the power and passion of Freddie Mercury and Queen. It is very catchy and will soon have you singing along. It is a typical queen song with heavy guitar combining with Freddie's ...
...Are The Champions> Often played with 'We will Rock You' this is another rock anthem that combines heavy guitar, but also has a softer feel to it than 'We will Rock You'. It is played most often at sports events to stir the crowd into a frenzy. Hard to categorize this song; it is very repetitive in stlye and verse but is somehow catchy. The lyrics are fairly simple; the music is staright forward allowing Freddie to ...

Queen- Greatest Hits Volumes I & II, 2 CD set Whether you're a die-hard fan of Queen or you're just looking for a good compilation of their greatest hits, you can't go wrong with this 2 CD set. It is an excellent representation of their material as a whole. Queen's signature sound is unlike that of anyone else. Once you've heard it you'll recognize it anywhere. You'll go back for more. It is good, clean & clear, driving rock 'n roll with a little ...
...Bohemian Rhapsody?. 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 ...

Review of Greatest Hits Vol.1 - Queen

Although Greatest Hits I by Queen contains some essential tracks (Bohemian Rhaspody, We will rock you...etc), Greatest Hits II contains some of the best songs Queen ever wrote. Songs like A kind of magic, I want to break free, Radio Ga Ga and Hamnmer to Fall etc are all some of the bands most enduring material and is loved by all. This is a very good album, I believe everyone with a healthy interest in music needs a copy of this album somewhere. ...
...songs ever on one CD! Its one of those fantastic Cd's you can put on and leave to play right through every track, not one of them is a dud. My only gripe with this Cd is that two of the songs that chronologically could have appeared on this album didn't make it onto the Cd (Scandal and Too much love will kill you), but other than that it is a must buy and everyone should own a copy. ...

Queen - Greatest Hits I is the first, and best of the three Queen - Greatest Hits album. It contains 17 of their best songs, but not their 17 best songs if you see what I mean. The songs included in the album are: 1: Bohemian Rhasody 2: Another on bites the dust 3: Killer Queen 4: Fat bottomed girls 5: Bicycle race 6: You're my best friend 7: Don't stop me now 8: Save me 9: Crazy little thing called love 10: Somebody to love 11: Now I'm ...
...Universe" which are found on Greatest Hits II and III respectively. The enclose booklet isn't even a booklet for this album, just two pages, one with the track listings and the other with ablum covers. Not too wonderful. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes Queen but for whatever reason hasn't got any of their albums yet, or for anyone that you want to introduce to them. It's a great album, and has an excellent shelflife. ...

...one of the best. Queens greatest hits 1 was the first Queen album I bought about 2 years ago and still ranks as probably the best of the 9 that I own along with the equally excellent. Queen had so many hits during their life and this represents most of the best of them, being in my opinion considerably better than Queens 2nd and 3rd greatest hits album although it is missing two of my favourite Queen singles ‘The Show Must Go On' and the brilliant ...
...that I'm just being picky. This album contains so many classic songs. It begins with most peoples favourite ‘Bohemian Rhapsody' which as you must know is a roller coaster epic of a song taking you through almost three completely different songs. Track seven ‘Don't Stop Me Now' has got to be one of my favourites with Brian May showing his full guitar playing ability during his solo in the song. Also worth a mention is the football anthem ‘We are ...

Review of Greatest Hits Vol.1 - Queen

...no wonder that their first greatest hits album sold and sold and sold - and has never stopped doing so. How could any other group match a track record that includes "Killer Queen", "Crzay Little Thing Called Love", "Another One Bites The Dust", and of course the incomparable "Bohemian Rhapsody"? Though it's often overlooked, I've always loved "Save Me"; Freddie's pleading vocal and Brian's astonishing guitar on this were rarely bettered. And I've ...
...You" or the twee "Bicycle Race", but we're all allowed the occasional lapse. Two small criticisms. First, the packaging is rather pedestrian, and second, with the extra capacity available on CD, the omissions (understandable on vinyl) of their first mighty single "Keep Yourself Alive", admittedly not a hit, and the unexpectedly low-charting "Tie Your Mother Down", which fell foul of Radio 1 because of the lyrical implications, betrays a lack of ...

...was Queen. In terms of Greatest Hits this is one of the best ever and confirms that while they didnt make any outstanding albums they were a great singles band. Individually they are almost second to none. Now lets look at the evidence: there is Brian May, one of the most gifted guitarists of all time. His wonderfully individual style stands out on all records. Freddie Mercury needs no introduction and is the consumate showman. John Deacon is an ...
...and Roger Taylor is a good drummer who completes the rhythm section. Now to take the album song by song; 1. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. I dont to say anything about this epic song which starts the album as it means to go on. 2.ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST. This song has become an anthem at sporting events and it is not hard to see why. John Deacons bass is now one of the most recognisable riffs of all time. Brian Mays contribution gives the album a disco ...

Review of Greatest Hits Vol.1 - Queen

I first discovered this CD in my parents collection when I was a very young teenager, since then no other band has come close to my Number One Hotspot! The incredible vocals from Freddie Mercury (real name Farookh Bulsara) and awsome guitar solo's from Brian May, are sure to give you goosebumps! The CD starts with one of the most memorable tunes of their history, Bohemian Rhapsody. Too many times have I attempted to sing this one with the lads at ...
...a popular one in Karioke bars along with Don't Stop Me Now and We are the Champions. Even people who have somehow amazingly never heard of the band Queen and the mighty Freddie Mercury they have definately heard one or two of their songs. For example, We will Rock you and Another One bites the Dust were used in TV shows such as Gladiators during the 90's. We are the champions is heard in countless venues/shows etc throughout the UK and likely throughout ...

It incldes some the the best Queen songs ever made, 'Another one bites the dust,' 'Killer Queen,' The Seven Seas or Rhyme,' 'Bicycle Race,' 'Flash,' 'Now I'm here,' and many ...
