QUEEN "greatest hits" cd,1981.
another bloody best of set Dani picked out...im not a fan of posting these as they are for the most part self explanetary...i'd rather get into a studo album and think of something original to say...but who am i to complain, i own the cds and they need to get played sooner or later i guess...this is about the seventh one ive done this week and there are still several more to do yet!
what can be said...its queen at their finest vocally,lyrically and musically prior to all the synth sounds they introduced for that stupid "hot space" album and beyond...
nine loves, seven likes and one dislike here...yes one dislike, that bloody stupid "bicycle race" thing, even Freddies vocals cant save this one for me to like, pretty hard to say which one i like best, as much as i like "bohemian rhapsody" it is not the best...too much studio trickery to say its my favourite, guessing that goes to the awesome power ballad "save me" from 1979's "the game" album or maybe another ballad in "somebody to love"...both powerful songs vocally, showing the full power and range of Freddies vocals IMO.
i have probably six studio albums by these guys,all very good IMO but a best of set really has the best of the best of Queen IMO.
album rating: 2.5
from the album, my two favourite tracks:
save me
