Queen is an Awesome Band, and it could kill any other band in its way.
Queen made there first debut in 1973 on their first Album called "Queen" which was highly successful but though very under rated. in 1974 they made their second album called "Queen II" which was highly successful as well and it is Queen’s only album thats closely related to their predosessor album. later that year they made their 3rd studio album called "Sheer Heart Attack" and boosted to their first taste of world wide commercial success, with a famous single called "Killer Queen". Sheer Heart Attack hit Number #2 in the UK and #12 in the US. But a year later they saw a World Wide topping 5 star Album which gave them ultimate success and fame, their 1975 album called "A Night At The Opera" which hit hard and topped nearly every chart in the whole world. With their Super Album, they brought their Signature song called "Bohemian Rhapsody" which is now known as UK’s most classical rock song, and UK’s best single in 50 years, with that sinlge, Queen is the only band in the UK that had a single (Bohemian Rhapsody) to top the charts for two seprate occasions, 1 in 1975/1976 was #1 for 9 weeks and again in 1992 (b-side for "These Are The Days Of Our Lives") which topped the charts for 2 weeks.
with all mighty success, came their new album for 1976 "A Day At The Races" a calmer and cooler album than NATO, but not as good. it rocked our charts again with more successful singles, in 1977 came their new album which was a completely opisite version of A Day At The Races, which embarked the staduim filling rock anthem "We Will Rock You" and backing that up is "We Are The Champions". these 2 singles came very popular, both in the Rock catalouge and the Sporting Catalouge.
After that came a sleeker and calmer album called "Jazz" which never had any Jazz genre in it!
in 1980, Queen made another Ultra Successful Album called "The Game" and Single "Another One Bites The Dust", which topped the charts in nearly all American charts, to hip hop, and even soul.
At The Same time, they recorded a Movie Sound track for "Flash Gordon".
after Queen’s mighty success, followed a poorer album unexpected by fans but though still had power. the album was called "Hot Space", it featured new style pop, disco and dance music but still keeping rock into it.
after their frozen success, they made a new album in 1983 called "The Works" which got them back in action. this album featured some highly successful rock songs.
in 1985 they played at live Aid, and was voted best Live Gig Ever!
after Live Aid, Queen made a sinlge called "One Vision" which was for their new 1986 Album "A Kind of Magic".
after that, many people thought that Queen were breaking up due to there time off the charts. many UK Tabloids scavenged into Freddies and Brians life. After That, Queen all got back to together and recorded their most inspirational albums in the 80s, 1989’s "The Miracle", just like "The Game", it hit back and gave them more success around the world. Later, Queen recorded again for their new 1991 album, "Innuendo", which boosted their success, but due to Freddie Mercury’s illness and turning out positive for aids, they only had a limited amount of time to record their last studio album called "Made In Heaven", which was released in 1995.
Freddie later passed away in 1991.
in 1992, the remaining members begain a tribute concert which featured heaps of other artists, such as Elton John, U2 and George Micheal.
After Made in Heaven was released in 1995, and was first album to show Rock Star after life.
Queen made a tribute ballad for Freddie and released it on their other complaison album in 1997 called "Queen Rocks", the song was called "No One But you (Only the good die young)". it was also a tribute song for princess diana which died in a car crash in the same year.
later John deacon, the bassist player, retired for kids, which leaved brian may and rodger taylor, but later in 2005, they joined with Paul Rodgers for concerts to play their classical songs. later in 2007 they released their first studio single together and in september 2008 they are releasing their new album called "The Cosmos Rocks".
