Review
‘Queen Rocks’, is a selection of Queens heaviest rock songs as well as one new track called ‘No One But You’ which is a tribute to Freddie, and was originally going to be on Brians solo album but felt its best kept as a Queen song. The album is about half and half, 1974 – 1981 and 1981 – 1992, slightly biased on the early years, which reflects the heavier rock element of Queen’s music. All of Queens albums have a mixture of heavy and lighter songs, however, this compilation has all the best rockers on one album. The Queen Rocks album is a collection of songs which reflects why many people liked Queen. Whenever I run polls online the heavier Queen songs always do better – people seem to like that side of Queen. Perhaps that is why Queen Rocks
Review Rating: 8
Did you know …. once, at a concert in Germany, Freddie was singing ‘Hammer To Fall’ and he fell down and broke his leg.
