Queen Smash Hits! Vol.1

Formed in 1970, Queen are one of the most successful rock bands in pop history, selling somewhere in the region of 200 million albums worldwide. 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' should be sung in a Presley-esque 'rockabilly' style whereas 'Don't Stop Me Now' has a lyrical opening contrasted with a faster section with a driving piano part. 'We Are The Champions' - a true sporting anthem - and recently heard in a rather untuneful rendition by Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button. This version, however, reflects the true magnificance of Mercury's lyrics and melody, the minor/major contrast and key shift between verse and chorus make a truly bold conclusion to this collection of songs.
