Queen was criticized by some in the press upon the release of QUEEN II, since there was simply nothing to compare it to--it encompassed glam, progressive, and metal, with a healthy dose of studio wizardry.QUEEN II contained the band's first official UK hit--the mystical "Seven Seas of Rhye"--and, as on their debut a year prior, the lesser-known material is just as delightful. Singer Freddie Mercury and guitarist Brian May contribute one lovely ballad each--"White Queen (As It Began)" and "Some Day One Day." The latter does a sple

His thirst for life enchanted her. His thirst for fame awoke her. His thirst for power may kill us all. Legendary Vampire Lestat (STUART TOWNSEND) has risen from a decades-long slumber, determined to step out into the light. No longer content with being banished to the shadows, moving among mortals who never truly see him for what he is, Lestat has reinvented himself as the closest thing to a god on Earth: a rock star. The intoxicating lure of his music has snaked its way around the globe, ultimately finding the ear of the slumbering ancient Queen Akasha (AALIYAH) in her crypt beneath the Arctic ice. Mother of all Vampires, Akasha has been resting for centuries, waiting for the right time to rise again and seize dominion over the world. Lestat s music is the revelation she has been waiting for, and she desires that he rule beside her.

Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals); Brian May (guitar); John Deacon (bass); Roger Taylor (percussion).Recorded at Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland and Musicland Studios, Munich, Germany.Recording information: Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland; Musicland Studios, Munich, Germany.1982's HOT SPACE is by far the most controversial album Queen ever released. Coming off a major disco hit with 1980's "Another One Bites The Dust, " the band decided to take it a step further and released an album comprised mostly of tunes crafted from the same dance mold. This wouldn't have been a big deal for some bands, but the majority of Queen's fans were rock n' rollers, not disco buffs. Looking back, the band admits some trepidation at releasing HOT SPACE when they did, but there are indeed many strong Queen compositions included.The most renowned track is the Queen/David Bowie hit collaboration, "Under Pressure, " a tip of the hat to the then-thriving new wave sound that remains one of Queen's all-time best tracks.

When Staffell left, May and Taylor elected to form a new band with vocalist Freddie Mercury. Bassist John Deacon completed the lineup. Their self-titled debut fused 70s glam and late 60s heavy rock, and their second album fulfilled their early promise. Sheer Heart Attack consolidated their commercial standing. In 1975, they completed the seven-minute mini-opera 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. The startlingly unique track topped the UK charts for an astonishing nine weeks. The attendant album, A Night At The Oper

After years of honing its stage act, Queen had become one of the world's premiere rock concert attractions, featuring elaborate staging and costumes. Recorded during a two-month European tour in support of the JAZZ album, LIVE KILLERS does an excellent job of mixing the hits with the lesser-known songs, and

In addition to being Damon Albarn's first project since the Gorillaz, the GB&Q are also quite the super group, with Clash bassist Paul Simonon, Verve guitarist Simon Tong, and legendary drummer Tony Allen--the man who put the beat in Afrobeat--rounding out the line-up. Adding to this stellar cast is producer/DJ Danger Mouse, who mans the

Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano, synthesizer); Brian May (vocals, guitar); Roger Taylor (vocals, drums); John Deacon (bass).Recorded at Musicland Studios, Munich, Germany.Recording information: Musicland Studios, Munich, Germany (02/1980-05/1980); Musicland Studios, Munich, Germany (06/1979-07/1979).Photographers: Christopher Hopper; Peter Hince.Following up the most idiosyncratic album of their career (JAZZ), Queen makes the transition here from weird pomp-rock band to weird pop band, marking a new musical direction for their '80s output. The major development here is the incorporation of funk into Queen's already-broad stylistic pallete. The mega-hit "Another One Bites the Dust" is based around an irresistibly funky bass riff that would be sampled by countless rappers over the next two decades. "Dragon Attack" mixes the funk quotient with some fiery guitar heroics from Brian May.The pure pop aspect of Queen's music blossoms into full flower as well. "Need Your Loving" could be a Badfinger or Records o

July 21, 1982..the Rock n America tour...The Montreal Forum. A legendary night, a legendary concert, a legendary band - Queen performing their last North American tour with their original lineup Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon. The recording, long whispered about in chat rooms and bulletin boards, languished in music lawyer hell until earlier this year. Under the eagle eyes of the band, the album has been sequenced, mixed and mastered to the highest possible contemporary standards. It now stands in the pantheon, not just of great Queen live albums, but of the great live rock albums.

Although QUEEN II borders on heavy metal (it wasn't until their next release, SHEER HEART ATTACK, that they began experimenting with other musical forms), the songwriting and playing is still top-notch. Queen was criticized by some in the press upon the release of QUEEN II, since there was simply nothing to compare it to--it encompassed glam, progressive, and metal, with a healthy dose of studio wizardry.QUEEN II contained the band's first official UK hit--the mystical "Seven Seas of Rhye"--and, as on their debut a year prior, the lesser-known material is just as delightful. Singer Freddie Mercury and guitarist Brian May contribute one lovely ballad each--"White Queen (As It Began)" and "Some Day One Day." The latter does a splendid job of breaking up this otherwise continuously hard-rocking album. Other intriguing titles include "Ogre Battle, " "The March of the Black Queen, " and a strong bonus b-side--the bluesy "See What a Fool I've Been."

Queen: Brian May (vocals, guitar); Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano); Roger Taylor (vocals, drums); John Deacon (bass).Additional personnel: Fred Mandel (piano, synthesizer, programming).Recorded at the Record Plant, Los Angeles and Musicland Studios, Munich from August 1983-January 1984.With their previous album (HOT SPACE) confusing many of their fans, Queen had something to prove on THE WORKS. The band definitely succeeded at getting back on track--THE WORKS was one of the best rock releases of 1984, featuring the worldwide smash "Radio GaGa" and reintroducing their fans to Queen's classic sound. THE WORKS spawned a total of four U.K. top ten singles, confirming that Queen had returned from their short hiatus in fine form.Almost all of the elements you've come to expect from a classic Queen release are present on here. "I Want To Break Free" and "It's A Hard Life" are instantly addictive pop-rock. "Tear It Up" is a straight-ahead rocker and "Machines (Back To Humans)" is a successful electronic rock experime

Additional personnel: Eisley (vocals).On its 2007 debut, KING VS. QUEEN, Brighten offers up an assured set of energetic emo/punk-pop tunes. While the Chico, California-based trio excels at earnest lyrics and melodic vocals, Brighten's greatest asset is its riff-and-rhythm-heavy approach, as best revealed on the fierce, upbeat "More Vacations." Although the band has no shortage of likeminded peers, Brighten scores with its amiable and straightforward sound.

Queen: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor.Recorded at Olympic Studios, Town House Studios, London, England and Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland.All songs written by Queen.THE MIRACLE was a comeback album of sorts for Queen, who had just come off a three-year break prior to its release. Instead of experimenting with different musical styles (as on 1982's dance-heavy HOT SPACE), Queen wisely stuck to its hard-rock roots for the most part, making THE MIRACLE one of the band's most successful U.S. releases of the '80s--both artistically and commercially. With rumors swirling of an impending breakup due to personal problems within the band, many fans breathed a sigh of relief when THE MIRACLE finally appeared in 1989.THE MIRACLE turned out to be Queen's most consistent album since 1984's THE WORKS. Never before had Queen's lyrics been so obviously biographical as on THE MIRACLE. Four tracks in particular, "Party, " "Khashoggi's Ship, " "Scandal, " and "Was It All Worth It, " all examine the u
