(6 Customer Reviews)
The multi-part "Bohemian Rhapsody," with its lilting melodies, layered operatic vocals, studio trickery, and heavy-metal breakdowns, epitomizes the group's recombinant aesthetic and cheeky flair. The spare, disco-funk of "Another One Bites the Dust" and the breezy, music hall-like "Killer Queen" should be familiar to anyone within earshot of a radio in the '70s and '80s. The givens--the camp-rockabilly "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and perennial stadium anthems "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions"--are here, but surprises like the exuberant "Don't Stop Me Now" give a well- rounded perspective on the band. With Brian May's unique guitar sound and Freddie Mercury's brash, personality-filled vocal performances, Queen was one of the most original and popular acts in rock history, and GREATEST HITS brings the group's peak moments together on one remarkable disc.
Not to be confused with 1981's GREATEST HITS, 1992's CLASSIC QUEEN, or '92's reissue of '81's GREATEST HITS, 2004's GREATEST HITS is a superb 20-track sampler of Queen's best, eclipsing the all of the aforementioned packages. Excepting their late-career singles, this set spans the British group's tenure from '74's "Seven Seas of Rhye" to a '84 live performance of "Under Pressure." In between are a host of the ambitious, distinctive, and often brilliant songs on which Queen built their name.
Gh Remastered W/ 3 Bonus Trax.
Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano); Brian May (guitar); Roger Taylor (bass guitar); John Deacon (drums).

My husband and I are both fans of Queen and we were amazed that our teenage daughter wanted a cd of them for Christmas. We don't have any style most days, you know. This cd had so many great Queen songs that she liked and we do too. Best compilation we've seen yet. Submitted by deanna (California)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Just OK I am a huge Queen fan. This is finally the CD release of Elektra's 1981 vinyl Greatest Hits in the US.
Rehash, but at least it's a legitimate release and not a new compilation.
The sound production is way too tinny for Queen, it sounds like the radio station copy that turns the bass way down.
This is my biggest gripe.
The live songs included give us a little peek at the steller performance from 1982 that will be released later this year as Live From The Bowl. There will be a CD and a DVD release. Submitted by Scapp70 (New York City, NY)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Redundant I'm a die-hard Queen fan. In fact, you could even say that Queen is my favorite band, but after "Classic Queen," "Greatest Hits (U.S.)," the "Greatest Hits 1 & 2" box set, the "Platinum Collection" and about four live albums, what purpose could this album possibly serve? I suppose for the collector of Queen albums, it might be nice to have, but other than that, I don't see any other purpose this could possibly serve. Submitted by a person (the U.S.A.)

What a great deal! This CD contains the 2001 remaster of Greatest Hits, previously only available as either an expensive Japanese import or in the U.S. 'Platinum Collection'. As a bonus, you get the rare single mix of "I'm In Love With My Car" and two awesome live tracks from the upcoming "On Fire At The Bowl" (Milton Keynes) DVD and CD releases.
This is an excellent value for a very classy and high quality product. Submitted by Jeffrey (Wichita, KS USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Do We Really Need Another Queen's Greatest Hits? This collection contains material that has already been released (with the exception of a few unreleased cuts) and as far as I'm concerned this is typical of a record company trying to milk more money out of the consumer. If you already own Queen's "Classic Queen" and Queen's "Greatest Hits" cd's released and remastered in 1992 then why would anyone want another Queen collection of hits (by the way this latest is missing "Keep Yourself Alive" one the band's best early hits)?
