10 best Queen songs
Queen is a British rock band formed in London in 1970 by Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals) and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals), who were later joined by John Deacon (bass). Their early work was influenced by progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal. However, the band gradually ventured into more traditional and radio-oriented works, incorporating arena rock and pop rock into their repertoire.
The Singer's Room website writes, "Before forming Queen, May and Taylor played together in the band Smile. Mercury was a fan of Smile and encouraged their experimentation with more complex sound and recording techniques. He joined the band in 1970 and suggested the name Queen. Deacon joined the band in February 1971".
In 1973, Queen released their self-titled debut album. The musicians first hit the UK charts in 1974, with their second album Queen II. And in 1975, the songs "Sheer Heart Attack" and "A Night at the Opera" brought them great success and international recognition.
In general, Queen's repertoire demonstrates an unrivaled ability to mix genres and experiment with styles, while maintaining their unique personality.
