    Not all of Queen's music is like this. They were a band that was all over the place. Their music was VERY diversified. You have to listen to at least 10 of their songs to get a good idea of how differenty they were and how different their songs were.
    Start with Boheimian Rhapsody from their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song and album is rock opera.

      Not necessarily. This is about Freddie living the rock star life - sex, drugs (not ecstasy, likely coke) etc. Luckily he never overdid the drugs so it didn't become a problem for him or the band. The party phase did concern the other band members, who did not partake at the same level.

They played many styles, jazz (Dreamers ball), blues (Melancholy blues), R&R (Breakthru), heavy metal (Liar, Hammer to fall, Dragon attack), gospel (Let me live), folk ('39), waltz (Millionaire Waltz), vaudeville (Seaside Rendezvous), ballads (Love of my life), movie themes (from the "Highlander"), disco (Another one bites the dust, Cool cat), anthems (We are the champions, We will rock you), even operatic styles (Bohemian Rhapsody).

    Nice reaction! I would suggest "Love Of My Life" from Wembley 1986, "Somebody To Love" from Montreal 1981, and "White Queen" from the Odeon Hammersmith (1975 I believe) as good places to start. You cannot fit Queen into a box - they were amazing and diverse in their music. Each member of the band wrote songs and all of them wrote #1 hits (the only band to accomplish this, I believe). How good were they? They belong on the Mount Rushmore of bands imo!

They are 100% the best in the business. You need to listen to different songs to get a handle on how good they were. A starter kit to do that would be:- Bohemian Rhapsody, Another one bites the dust, We will rock you, Somebody to love, Crazy little thing called love, You're my best friend,Under Pressure,Gimme the prize, Princes of the Universe,Pain is so close to pleasure, A Kind of Magic,I want it all, Breakthru,Headlong, Innuendo, Show must go on, Mother Love. There most known hits are Bohemian Rhapsody,We will rock you,We are the Champions, Don't stop me now. All of their albums are amazing. Very diverse but always have that Queen sound.

    I'm calling you out. You lied about hearing Queens music, you just don't know you lied. I know for a fact you have heard at least two of their songs, and sung along to tnem.
    1) We Will Rock You - written by the lead guitarist and vocalist Sir Brian May PhD.
    2) We Are The Champions - written by the lead singer and pianist Freddie Mercury.
    Yes, those legendary anthems were written and performed by Queen!
    Others you may have heard of are - I Want It All, Another One Bites Tne Dust ( written by the bassist John Deacon), Under Pressure, whose legendary bass line was stolen without permission by vanilla ice (he lost in court over it btw), Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
    Also Lady Gaga named herself after the Quen song Radio Ga Ga - written by the drummer and vocalist Roger Taylor.
    Queen is one of the most diverse groups musically, although predominantly a rock band, their music covers many genres. From hard Rock - Stone Cold Crazy, Dead On Time. To music hall (aka vaudeville) - Seaside Rendezvous. From Diss tracks - Death On Two Legs, Flick Of The Wrist. To Love songs - Love Of My Life, You Take My Breath Away, and everything in between. There was nothing the band couldn't play and Freddie couldn't sing.
    As you can see above, they all wrote hit songs and as you will see, they are one of those rare bands that are even better live. Remember, their was no autotune back then, they got by on pure talent. They all played multiple instruments (I've only listed their main instruments above).
    They were very prolific in their songwriting/albums, so you have hundreds of studio songs, plus live performances to choose from and asking a Queen fan to choose their favourite song is like asking the impossible, it depends on the day, mood you are in, they have a song for everything.
    Welcome to the Queen rabbit hole my friend ....... have fun!

    Queen wasn’t known for doing drugs, but they were known for holding wild parties.
    They were one of the most successful bands of the 70s and 80s, with a huge variety of music. You might want to check out Bohemian Rhapsody, Someone to Love, and Radio Gaa Gaa. I could list dozens more, but if you want another exhibit of how great a singer Freddie Mercury was, check out The Show Must Go On, which he sang when he was so sick he could barely stand. They were a band for more than 20 years with the same four members.

    Queen. Freddie Mercury called it that because it was a very strong and regal name (they're British.) Their number one hit is Bohemian Rhapsody. They have songs that are everywhere. Soft, loud, big, and small. Great band. Ranks 30th in the top 100 bands of all time (I disagree, they should rank much higher.)

    I think you're really gonna love Queen. They are a great band, a really great band. You ll learn all about Freddie Mercury. The lead singer is simply on another level.
    They are a massively famous UK band. Even though Freddie died in the 90s, the band goes on. American Idol 2nd place Adam Lambert, is a huge voice & talent. Queen asked him to join, and he didn't copy Freddie he became his own voice with the band. Enjoy! ❤

    Dr. Brian May (now SIR/Doctor Brian May. Knighted by King Charles in 2023): Lead guitar/back up vocals/piano sometimes. Dr of Astrophysics. Studied reflected light from interplanetary dust and the velocity of dust in the plane of the Solar System. Has worked with NASA. Made his guitar with his father when he was around 16/17. Was poor so used things around the house like a piece of a fireplace for the neck/mother’s buttons/knitting needle etc. It's called "The Red Special" Still plays it to this day. So yeah. That guitar you see is homemade!
    Roger Taylor: Drums/Amazing back up vocals. Has a BS in biology. Still rocking with Brian to this day.
    John Deacon: Bass guitar. Degree in Electronics. Inverter of the Deacy amp (which Brian uses to this day) Sadly John had a bit of a breakdown after Freddie's death and only performed with the rest of the band a 3 times after. He is, these days, only involved in the financial side through his attorney. He's been pretty much a recluse.
    And of course Freddie: Degree in Graphic design. Google "best rock front man of all time" I can save you the trouble. Most places the #1 answer is Freddie.
    Every member has written hit songs.
    All but John had singing talent where they could have had their own bands and been a success. Put them all together and you have QUEEN! (also all but John have done solo albums)
    Remember. NO auto tune. No tricks. Pure talent!
    You can't put Queen in a box as far as genre. There is no box!

      Only a recluse from the public eye. Stills goes out and does normal stuff, a friend spotted him eating in a local restaurant with his wife. He was never the party one.
      Saying he's a recluse makes it sound like he stays at home all day.

    Queen, one of UK most famous brands. Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor, can be found in the hall of fame. Bohemiam Rhapsody their most famous and memorable song (also known as our National Anthem as more ppl know the words than our actual National Anthem). But who hasn't heard of Another One Bites the Dust, or We Are the Champions. Queen are known for many genres of music from opera to Rock welcome and join us in our magical journey of Queen x

    For me, there are two quite incredible things about Queen: 1. Freddy Mercury's voice, 2. the fact that Brian May (lead guitarist) is actually an astrophysics. :)

    Son xtasy hadn’t been invented yet. He literally meant just what he said don’t stop them now they are Freddie Mercury lead singer and piano degree in design, lead guitar and backing vocals Sir Dr. Brian May Astrophysicist; John Deacon on bass and backing vocals and electrical Engineer who designed and built all of the band’s amps; on drums and backing vocals is Sir Roger Taylor, also a fully trained dentist. BTW The guitar Sir Brian plays is the Red Special, built by he and his father back when he was 16 from junk laying around. He has since changed her name to the Old Lady and still plays it on occasion. My personal favorites are Bohemian Rhapsody, Want To Live Forever, Somebody to Love, Barcelona, The Great Pretender, Radio Gaga, Bicycle, Fat Bottomed Girls, and Show Must Go On. The drinks on top of the piano are Tea with lemon and honey for Freddie and water the other drinks are for Deacon and Brian.

    Queen are the rock gods ... u can`t image how many epic rock masterpieces they did. Freddy is iconic, for me the are on top of all others. because there songs are all masterpieces, there is Freddy with is performance and unique voice, there is Brian who play the guitar out of this world and there is roger on the drums but also a voice like a star on his on. but they don`t battle the play together, and the compositions of there songs are unique, it`s not rock music it`s art. it`s something which touches generations and nothing nearly to it was there before and after. For me they are the gods of rock. Unfortunally I´m to young to see them live. Freddy died much to young, imagine how much there would have been more if the band would be still in origin formation on tour. They are on the same step then the Stones, but if he would be alive they would be out of this universe

    Queen are still performing with Adam Lambert. Brian and Roger are still at the top their game and have just finished a sold out tour of North America and Japan. Check out some of their newer live performances as well as their older stuff. Still brilliant. If you feel like a ballad try Isle of white festival, Who Wants To Live Forever. I enjoyed post, looking for to more Queen. ❤

    All band members wrote songs. They all wrote hits. Brian & Roger could be lead singers & at times they did have their own bands where they sang lead. Unfortunately we lost Freddie to AIDS. Around that time John Deacon retired. Roger & Brian are still touring (they are in Japan right now). The just finished a North American tour. They would never be able to replace Freddie. Right now they are performing as Queen with Adam Lambert.

    This song is quite literally about Freddie Mercury now becoming true to himself as a Gay man. He was living the life and living true to himself by this stage of his life. He really lived life to the full. I recommend you hear the next collection of Songs and then watch the Live Aid performance that play these songs live.
    Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga, Hammer to Fall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We will Rock You and We are the champions.
    Watch the live aid set as it is only 20 mins long after you have watched these songs. Queen are considered the best live band ever and you will see why...

    Brian May, the lead guitarist, is an astrophysicist.

    Queen is number one lol and Freddie Mercury front man Brian May Lead Guitar John Deacy Bass and Roger Taylor Drums. Bohemian Rhapsody is their most famous and the first music video ever. Their live music is better than their studio recordings IMO and Live Aid is the best and considered the best live performance of all time. 1.5 billion people watched and that was 40% of the worlds population in 1985. There’s so much more to know. But also react to “Somebody to Love” live from Montreal 1981

    - Who wants to live forever/official video (a sad and beautiful song)
    - Somebody to love /official video (amazing voices)
    - I want it all (very strong)
    - I want to break free
    - We are the champions
    - Save me
    - A kind of magic
