Description:

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, later tracks such as "Hammer to Fall" as much as prime-era numbers such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "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

5Great CD  Sep 30, 2008
Love Queen. When I was in high school, our them song was Another One Bites the Dust and it takes me back every time I listen to it. Great CD

5Queen still rules!  May 27, 2008
If you are a Queen fan, you must have this greatest hits collection. Not only is the music fantastic, the price was great.

5Perfect.......unmatched creativity in the rock genre.  Apr 18, 2008
If you like Queen, you need to check out America's best kept secret for over 15 years, Poi Dog Pondering. The new '7' CD is incredible and is the only release to match the creative heights of the mighty Queen.....great, great work. A work of art, really.7

5Excellent Collection  Apr 05, 2008
good selection of most of Queen's best songs. I wish Princes of the Universe was included, but one can't have everything.

2Schizophrenic rock band  Mar 22, 2008
At their best, Queen produced some of the finest rock songs ever recorded. I'm partial to the great work they did early in their career--tunes like "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Killer Queen," and "You're My Best Friend." "Under Pressure," their collaboration with David Bowie, is one of my favorite songs of all time. I accept the claim by several reviewers, who are no doubt more knowledgeable about the band than I, that this is probably the most complete collection of their hits you can find. I had never heard most of these songs before.

The problem is that most of them are terrible, and not just in comparison to their greats. I found many of them to be unlistenable messes with operatic aspirations. It's hard to believe that the many 1-star tunes ( i.e., "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" and "I'm Going Slightly Mad") were composed by the same guys who wrote the comparatively few 5-star songs. Personally, I prefer the one-disc "Greatest Hits" compilation that many of the other reviewers deride.
