Description
Freddie Mercury, John Deacon, Brian May and Roger Taylor.

As far as I’m concerned, the greatest rock band ever. In fact, one of the best bands ever.

A pretty grand claim really, and it’s not one I’d made for many bands, but there was, and still is, something very special about Queen.

I think it’s probably that each member of the band forms an essential part of the whole, they all wrote at least one song each that hit number one.

Clearly there would be no Queen without Freddie Mercury. What can I say about this man that hasn’t already been said. He used his voice like an instrument, he was one of a kind and he will never be forgotten.

Brian May the ever long haired expert of the electric guitar. Something that isn’t really known for those who only listen to the Greatest Hits albums is that he has a great singing voice. I love his performance of ’39, it’s beautiful.

I love Roger Taylor’s voice, particularly during “I’m In Love With My Car”. Again it’s a shame that he isn’t more widely appreciated for what he can do with his voice. It’s always great to see a drummer get his chance to shine, and they all did.

Even John Deacon, bassist, who is a fascinating person in that he really had no desire to take the spotlight off his bandmates, but with their encouragements he wrote one of Queen’s most popular songs “Another One Bites the Dust”

Empty Spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places,
I guess we know the score.
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for?
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain in the pantomime
Hold the line,
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The show must go on!
The show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking,
But my smile still stays on
