Queen - Greatest Hits
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, such as "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 more

When Hollywood Records signed Queen in the late 80's, it seemed like the height of folly. The band had been out of the public eye for years, had not had a hit in the US for nearly a decade, and the first thing the band did was throw a...
