Great for the TRUE fans, and a nice intro for new ones...

No, this is NOT a completely comprehensive collection of all of Queen's better-known works (aka the ones you hear on the radio). What it is, however, is a fanatastic introduction to the true breadth and depth of their work in-between the more popular tunes. This was my first Queen album (mainly because it features Bohemian Rhapsody which was a hit at the time thanks to "Wayne's World") and I'll forever be glad I chose to listen to the entire disc because I never looked back. This is an essential purchase for anyone who wants to explore Queen a little deeper. You will NOT be sorry.

Classic Queen is the king of alternative rock

I think what makes the band Queen stand out from the norm is the fact their music spans a multitude of categories...rock, hard rock, blues, alternative rock just to name a few.

Some great songs

This has some of Queen's greatest songs. However, it also has some songs are a big stretch to call, "classic" Queen. It's too bad they didn't take the classic songs on this CD and combine with the classic songs on "Queen - Greatest Hits" and leave the rest off (the hardcore fans who would like these songs have all their CDs anyway). One other point of contention with this CD is that the first part of the song, Tie Your Mother Down is not on this CD (you'll have to buy "A Day At The Races" to get the entire song). I don't know why they did this--if a song is on a CD, it ought to be the entire song. But that said, Bohemian Rhapsody, Stone Cold Crazy, and Keep Yourself Alive make this CD worth buying. Queen was truly one of the greatest rock bands.
