- Description:
- Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano); Brian May (guitar); Roger Taylor (bass guitar); John Deacon (drums).
Not to be confused with 1981`s GREATEST HITS, 1992`s CLASSIC QUEEN, or `92`s reissue of `81`s GREATEST HITS, 2004`s GREATEST HITS is a superb 20-track sampler of Queen`s best, eclipsing the all of the aforementioned packages. Excepting their late-career singles, this set spans the British group`s tenure from `74`s "Seven Seas of Rhye" to a `84 live performance of "Under Pressure." In between are a host of the ambitious, distinctive, and often brilliant songs on which Queen built their name.
The multi-part "Bohemian Rhapsody," with its lilting melodies, layered operatic vocals, studio trickery, and heavy-metal breakdowns, epitomizes the group`s recombinant aesthetic and cheeky flair. The spare, disco-funk of "Another One Bites the Dust" and the breezy, music hall-like "Killer Queen" should be familiar to anyone within earshot of a radio in the `70s and `80s. The givens--the camp-rockabilly "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and perennial stadium anthems "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions"--are here, but surprises like the exuberant "Don`t Stop Me Now" give a well- rounded perspective on the band. With Brian May`s unique guitar sound and Freddie Mercury`s brash, personality-filled vocal performances, Queen was one of the most original and popular acts in rock history, and GREATEST HITS brings the group`s peak moments together on one remarkable disc.

Customer Reviews
This was my first purchase with Overstock.com and after dealing with them, I'm sure it won't be my last as the service was prompt and accurate. There were several Queen CDs to choose from, all classic, in my humble opinion, but I mainly bought it for Bohemian Rhapsody, and was delighted to find out that it had many more of my favorite Queen hits. Thanks for bringing this product to your website and keep up the good work.

This is without a doubt a family favorite! We have listened to this at home and in the car and have enjoyed it more each time we play it. Queen is timeless and every song on here is a classic!

This CD is great. I had forgotten how talented this group was. Another One Bites the Dust takes me back to high school. A must for any Queen fan.
