Advantages: Fantastic band, amazing. Disadvantages: Some weak tracks.
Due to the fact that this album has 51 tracks on it, I am in no way going to go into detail on each track like I do in my other reviews. This will take me days to write due to the fact that the tracks are just so good, and it will take you hours to read, so I'm just going to go into detail on the tracks I love and which one's I think will make you want to buy the album and why you should buy it. ===Who are Queen?===
Queen were an English Rock band ... ...two decades. This was put on hold however when their front man Freddie Mercury was killed by AIDS however, Brian May (the guitarist) and the rest of the band still carry on today. ===Greatest Hits 1===
Track 1- Bohemian Rhapsody (9/10)
Track 2- Another One Bites The Dust (5/10
Track 3- Killer Queen (4/10)
Track 4- Fat Bottomed Girls (5/10)
Track 5- Bicycle Race (5/10)
Track 6- You're my Best Friend (6/10)
Track 7- Don't Stop Me Now (10/10

Advantages: Rip-roaring, amazing, memorable music Disadvantages: NONE
...The album comes in a Platinum box big enough to hold the three CD's inside. Queens symbol is printed on the front in black and it looks quite classy. It's a basic cardboard box covering the plastic CD's inside but it's simplicity just shows that you don't need the hype to sell classic music. When you pull out the CD box it is basically a double CD carrier again with the same simple platinum colouring. There is a picture of each original album cover ... ...generation. You can buy the platinum collection from play.com for only £12.99 or most music stores at about £19.99. To me, either price is a bargain as you are getting three great albums packed with great songs.
You can visit Queen's website at www.Queenonline.com which gives you information about their history, albums, tours and the 'we will rock you' musical. So come on guys, don't let me down, add this to your collection.
Thanks for reading

Advantages: Contains 51 Queen Songs Disadvantages: I can't see any disadvantages with this
I bought this because I liked a couple of Queen songs. But after I listened to it I quickly realised that this was the best band ever! I find that when you buy a compliation ofsongs or a Greatest hits album you still skip songs, you won't in with this. The first CD is great and contains many great songs, the second CD is great and contains some more great tracks, the third CD is contains collobrations with Queen including, Elton John, David Bowie, ... ...by Brian May and the great Freddie Mercury, the best song on this CD is "No-one But You". I would reccomend this CD to anyone who is a fan of Queen, a fan of rock music or else a fan of fantastic music. Songs include
DISC 1: GREATEST HITS I: 1. Bohemian Rhapsody 2. Another One 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 ...

Advantages: Brilliant all rounder that you will never get bored of. Disadvantages: None
This is quite possibly the best collection of songs I have ever heard from any one band. Queen - maybe the biggest band that this planet has ever seen. This for me is the best of the best and the reason I think this is that it never gets on your nerves. You sit there and you listen to the fist track of the first CD to the last track of the last CD and then you just want to listen to it all over again. Personally for me there is no weak links in this ...

Advantages: Best of Breed Rock Disadvantages: How can you work when you can sing along to Bohemian Rhapsody?
If you are of a certain age, where you can remember when Bohemian Rhapsody was number one for the first time, then this is for you.
Perhaps you had some of these songs on vinyl, but here is all you need in one package! Buy it and put it in your car. If you kids have any taste they too will sing along to Rhapsody, We will rock you and the other great tracks on these CDs.
If you are not old enough to remember this music from the first time around, ...
