THis album has the best queen songs, in the best order. I listen to it regularly now
Rating: -
The music of Queen is legendary and the untimely death of Freddie Mercury was an end to a great life and great music. Sadly, it has been difficult to get a full cohesive collection of all the best music Queen made due to copywriting issues etc. There is no collection out there that will satisfy everyone but this one is the most inclusive and has most of the major hits. It would be awesome to have a collection with the hits plus the best of the album tracks but for now this collection is the best I've found.
The remastering is perfection and it is the best sound quality I've heard yet. Standout tracks for me are BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, DON'T STOP ME NOW, SAVE ME, SOMEBODY TO LOVE, PLAY THE GAME, WE WILL ROCK YOU plus the 3 bonus tracks. Everyone's favorites will differ and all will find some song they love not included but as I said - for me this is the best collection out there and is definitelty worth the price.

Queen have had countless compilations released over the years. We have tons of releases called 'Greatest Hits.' There's a mediocre U.S. version, than there's a great import release. Of course, there is a 'Greatest Hits II,' focusing on the 1981-1991 material. And finally, there is even a 'Greatest Hits III' released (I strongly recommend you avoid that release at all costs).
So, in the early 2000s, Hollywood Records decided to release yet another Queen 'Greatest Hits' album. But this one is far different from the standard 'Greatest Hits' release.
There is nothing from the 1981-1991 period. That means, no 'Radio Ga Ga,' 'I'm Going Slightly Mad,' 'A Kind Of Magic,' 'Who Wants To Live Forever' or 'Hammer To Fall.' That's a letdown. Now, this covers the early years of Queen. Read on.
Tracks from Queen (1973)
None
Review: No 'Keep Yourself Alive'? Come on! The U.K. version of 'Greatest Hits' also unfairly omitted this classic. Only 'Classic Queen' offers that track. That's the only compilation. A disappointment indeed.
Tracks from Queen II (1974)
'Seven Seas Of Rhye'
Review: A great song, one of the best. I have no complaints. Definitely the best song from the album. A classic pick.
Tracks from Sheer Heart Attack (1974)
'Killer Queen,' 'Now I'm Here'
Review: 'STONE COLD CRAZY'!?! Where the heck is it? This is supposed to be 'Greatest Hits'! ARGH! At least they included 'Killer Queen,' ... Read More

Freddy Mercury is one of the most unique vocalist in rock history. I did not appreciate his greatness until watching professional bands and American Idols butcher his vocals. Too bad he was mated to such a bland guitarist in Brian May. This CD is a great showcase for a rock legend.
Rating: -
Queen were truly one of a kind and gave us a sound that was completely unique as it was a mixture of operatic vocals and the amazing guitar skills of the fantastic Brian May. I don't think there's a man, woman or child who haven't heard of Queen or couldn't name at least one of their songs.
I Want It All
We Will Rock You
Bohemian Rhapsody
Fat Bottomed Girls
Killer Queen
Another One Bites The Dust
Under Pressure
Radio Ga Ga
Are only a small portion of the greatness that have been produced by Queen over the years and all these songs are featured on this compilation album. If only Mr Mercury were still with us today I would have loved to see what spectacular music he will have produced in recent years, or if he will have performed on the roof of Buckingham Palace along with Brian May at the Jubilee.
We can only wish and wonder what will have been if he was still with us today, but unfortunately we are only subject to our imagination. However when it comes to remembering the good times when Freddy was with us this is definitely the album to stick in your CD player.
