Queen is one of those albums you play whenever you need a pick me up. It gets you moving. It puts you in a good mood. I love almost every song on this cd. I am 65 yrs old & this is the kind of music I always turn the volume up a few notches. My 10 yr old grand daughter came in the house one day while this was playing and said "Is this Queen?? You listed to Queen?".. So all ages can enjoy this complete album.

A classic must have Queen album. Disc was fine, but there were intials on the jewel case and was cracked/broken. The damage could have been during shipping, but the initals were from the previous owner. I was lucky to have an extra jewel case or I would have lodged a complaint.

This will be my second purchase of the same Queen album. I'm 70 years old and still love the music. Thanks for the quick response.

Sound How do you go about making a Greatest Hits album when the majority of the songs are hits? This is the problem Queen faced while producing this disc. With fan-favorites such as "We Will Rock You" to classics such as "I Want To Break Free," there is something in store for everybody and this is not being said loosely. Queen covered a multitude of genres. From soft to rocking, you'll find something you will cherish and love for a long time. Every single track is a party favorite. The only questionable is why "Bohemian Rhapsody" isn't present. // 9 Lyrics The lyrics are fantastic as usual. Nothing too deep and nothing too shallow, just the right kind of tone. Some songs even contain humor (Fat Bottomed Girls). Some bands feature lyrics that don't go well with the song and sometimes, the whole lyrical flow is just lost. Not with Queen, everything blends together in a soothing manner. It's like each of these songs was meant to be. Freddie Mercury is a genius when it comes to tone. He has perfect harmony with every instrument on every single track. // 10 Impression You might say that this could be the best Christmas or Birthday present and you may be right. Whether a person has been listening to Queen since their first album or has never even heard of them, they will be sure to fall in love with them. Queen is the kind of band you have a hard time hating. Each song is different in every sense of the word and variety is the key to their success. // 10Read full review
This is the eighth wonder of the World and not in that order. If you are a collector having the American/Hollywood version is necessary. Although, if you want the best Queen Greatest Hits CD I would have purchased only the version put out in Europe by EMI. The American verison lacks the famous "Bohemian Rhapsody" song which was reintroduced in the movie Wayne's World in the early/mid 90's. Bohemian Rhapsody (the song), Queen (the band) and of course Freddie Mercury (singer, songwriter, IV degree pianist and all around musician who sadly died on Thanksgiving in 1991) are all legends and always will be. This particular CD is still great as you have the full range of Mercury/Queen's talent which is acid rock to vaudville. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy is an example of the diversity which makes these artists continue to entertain through each decade to present. It also contains the chart topping "We Are The Champions" which held the number 1 spot at the top of the charts for weeks until the band's other 1977 release "Will Rock You" knocked it down a rung - history made, which was only recently closely followed a couple of years ago when the two bands known as "Outkast" out did each other the same week. Listen to "I Want To Break Free" and tell me you don't love and identify with these guys. Further, another historical moment only Elvis would understand is the 3rd song on the album "Another One Bites The Dust" which topped charts across the board beginning with black music charts, then rock and dance charts too. This CD has songs written by three of the four member band. Other than the EMI version of this CD there is no other CD in this World, to date, that can outdo this CD across the board (listen to the background vocals - these guys are incredible). Brian May is as good as Hendrix. Freddie Mercury left his mark in history and lived life, as we all should, to its fullest. They left the most extraordiary gift in the World, better that the 7 wonders, and the bands own idol Hendrix. Buy this for you and your children - this has come back into style in the teen arena recently. Thank you, Freddie, Brian, John and Roger. Note to the Band, no other vocalist will ever replace Freddie Mercury. Brian May in his own right is a good singer too, check out his albums.Read full review
