A Glimpse at the Rock Band, Queen

No discussion about the best rock music of all time is going to end before the mention of Queen. This is a rock band whose success in the studio and on the stage left people talking. The talent, composition, and resilience of Queen were the major building blocks of their success. Having been established in the 1970s, this band went on to rule the charts for decades and years later, their name lives on.

Members of the Queen included Freddie Mercury who was a gifted singer and doubled up as a lead songwriter. He was a marvel to watch on the stage with his awe-inspiring performances and an unseen connection with the audience. Other members were

·        Brian May who played guitar and also did vocals.

·        John Deacon who played bass guitar.

·        Roger Taylor who played the drums and did vocals.

The band started off with styles that were inspired by hard rock and metal rock but later toned it down and started doing more of pop rock and arena.

Their second album named Queen II got them their first charting. A year later, they released another album that was named A Night at The Opera which was a highlight of their career.

The band mastered their art and came up with another album in 1977 that was called News of the World. This one featured a song that was used at major sporting events and this further sold the name and far and beyond.
