Everyone knows Queen and their most famous songs. 'Crazy Little Thing
Called Love', 'Another One Bites the Dust', 'Under Pressure' and
'Bohemian Rhapsody' were huge hits wherever anyone could hear a radio.
However, many contemporary reviews were savage, and yet their songs-from
the radio-friendly hit singles to the early prog rock epics, from the
cod-heavy bombast to the jazz pastiches, from the introspective ballads
to the thumping anthems-continue to be heard all around the world.This
book examines Queen's music, album by album, track by track, in detail.
Where possible, recourse to the original multi-track master tapes has
provided extra insight. Those familiar hits are revisited, but the
classic album cuts - like 'Liar', 'March of the Black Queen', 'Death on
Two Legs', and 'Dragon Attack', are given equal precedence. The book
also examines the changes that these same four musicians went through -
from heavy and pomp rock to pop as the chart hits began to flow - with a
keen and unbiased eye. Whether as a fan your preference is for the
albums A Night at the Opera, Jazz or Innuendo this detailed and
definitive guide will tell you all you need to know. Queen had strength
in depth. These are the songs on which a legend was built.
