Album Notes & Community Reviews

Summarizing their spectacularly theatrical initial decade of recording, Queen's first 'Greatest Hits' compilation is a relentless showcase of stylistic versatility. Moving seamlessly from the operatic excess of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' to the funk-driven basslines of 'Another One Bites the Dust', it highlights Freddie Mercury's unmatched vocal charisma and Brian May's distinct guitar orchestration. The album holds the historic distinction of being the best-selling album of all time in the United Kingdom.
