Queen Songs.
In this dim and distant past,there was a popular music rock band called Queen. This short article is dedicated to all who played those fantastic Queen Songs. Freddie Mercury, Brain May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon, which if I remember correctly was the bands line up in 1971.
While doing a little research on the internet, I discovered they had a grand total of 39 songs on the original vinyl records. Of course the one that anyone worth their salt knows is Queen Bohemian Rhapsody. Others which stand out are, We Will Rock You, Killer Queen and Dont Stop Me Now.
With the band starting out at the end of the 1960\\\'s, they seemed to find their legs when Freddie Mercury started to front the band and sang lead. The album which seem to bring Queen recognition,was the album \\\'Sheer Heart Attack\\\',released in 1974 and in 1975 the album \\\'A Night at The Opera\\\'.
A little history on the band. 1968/9 -1973. Brian May,Tim Staffell joined up with drummer Roger Taylor to form a band called \\\'Smile\\\' while at London\\\'s Imperial Collage and singed to Mercury Records that year. Tim Staffell was a student at Ealing Art Collage with Farrokh Bulsara. Tim introduced Farrohk to the band and he became a great fan. Tim left to join another band called Humpy Bong,with Farrohk - later changing his name to Freddie Mercury - joined the band as the vocalist. They changed the bands name to \"Queen\". The band did not really settle, until John Deacon joined as bass player in February 1971. There was then a period of time while the band gelled together and not until 1974 that the band hit mainstream success. The Queen 2 album witch reach number 5 in the album charts and had the lead single \\\'Seven Sea\\\'s of Rye\\\' with reached number 10 in the UK singles chart.
Big Time.
The band third album \\\'Sheer Heart Attack\\\' reach number 2 in the UK and sold well in Europe,going gold in US. Then the forth album \\\'A Night at The Opera\\\' really put the band on the map. Queen songs from the album were of course the now legendary Bohemian Rhapsody and the amazing video which at the time was ground breaking visual effects. The rest as they say, is history.
Sadly Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991 and another band member John Deacon retired in 1997.
