Few bands corporal the unadulterated overindulgence of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the enlarged eclat of prog rock candy and heavy metallic element, as well as vaudevillian music residence, the British foursome delved deep into camp and blah, creating a vast, mock-operatic healthy with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a freaky yet extremely accessible optical fusion of the macho and the fey. For years, their albums boasted the shibboleth "no synthesizers were secondhand on this track record," sign their fealty with the legions of post-Led Zeppelin hard stone bands. But vocalizer Freddie Mercury brought an profligate good sense of camp to the stripe, push them toward schmalzy humor and pseudo-classical arrangements, as epitomized on their best-known song, "Bohemian Rhapsody." Mercury, it must be aforementioned, was a florid epicene world Health Organization managed to keep his sexuality in the loo until his death from AIDS in 1991. Nevertheless, his sexuality was ostensible passim Queen's music, from their selfsame name to their veiled lyrics -- it was really flakey to find out jovial anthems wish "We Are the Champions" turn into celebrations of sports victories. That would take been unsufferable without Mercury, one of the well-nigh active and magnetic frontmen in rock history. Through his fabled theatrical performances, Queen became one of the well-nigh popular bands in the earth in the mid-'70s; in England, they remained second alone to the Beatles in popularity and collectibility in the '90s. Despite their enormous popularity, Queen were never taken badly by john Rock critics -- an notorious Rolling Stone review labelled their 1979 album Nothingness as "fascist." In bitchiness of such harsh unfavorable judgment, the band's popularity seldom waned; even in the late '80s, the grouping maintained a rabid following except in America. In the States, their popularity peaked in the early '80s, simply as they finished closely a decade's worth of extraordinarily pop records. And spell those records were never praised, they sold in tremendous numbers, and traces of Queen's music could be heard in several generations of severe rock and metal bands in the succeeding two decades, from Metallica to Smashing Pumpkins.


The origins of Queen lay in the hard rock candy psychedelic group Smile, which guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor linked in 1967. Following the going away of Smile's lead vocaliser, Tim Staffell, in 1971, May and Taylor formed a mathematical group with Freddie Mercury, the erstwhile lead-in singer for Wreckage. Within a few months, bassist John Deacon linked them, and they began rehearsing. Over the following two days, as all iV members completed college, they simply rehearsed, playing just now a smattering of gigs. By 1973, they had begun to center on their life history, cathartic the Roy Thomas Baker-produced Queen that year and setting out on their first turn. Queen was more or less a straight metal album and failed to receive lots herald, only Queen II became an unexpected British find early in 1974. Before its release, the striation played Big top of the Pops, playacting "Seven Seas of Rhye." Both the birdsong and the performance were a smash winner, and the unmarried rocketed into the Top Ten, context the stage for Tabby II to pass on bit five. Following its firing, the group embarked on its first base American turn, load-bearing Mott the Hoople. On the strength of their campily dramatic performances, the album climbed to number 43 in the States.


Queen released their third album, Sheer Heart Attack, before the end of 1974. The music residence meets Zeppelin "Slayer Queen" climbed to number deuce on the U.K. charts, taking the album to number deuce as well. Bold Heart Attack made some inroads in America as comfortably, setting the degree for the discovery of 1975's A Night at the Opera. Queen labored long and hard over the record; according to many reports, it was the most expensive tilt record ever made at the time of its sack. The first-class honours degree single from the phonograph record, "Romani Rhapsody," became Queen's signature birdsong, and with its bombastic, mock-operatic structure punctuated by heavy metal riffing, it encapsulates their music. It besides is the symbolisation for their musical excesses -- the birdcall took tercet weeks to record, and in that respect were so many vocal overdubs on the track record that it was possible see through the tape recording at sealed points. To support "Romani Rhapsody," Queen shot one of the first base conceptual music videos, and the gamble nonrecreational cancelled as the unmarried washed-out nine weeks at number peerless in the England, breakage the criminal record for the longest run at number one. The song and A Night at the Opera were equally successful in America, as the record album climbed into the Top Ten and promptly went atomic number 78.


Following A Night at the Opera, Queen were constituted as superstars, and they apace took advantage of all their status had to bid. Their parties and self-indulgence apace became caption in the rock candy creation, yet the banding continued to work at a speedy rate. In the summertime of 1976, they performed a dislodge concert at London's Hyde Park that broke attendance records, and they released the stumble individual "Someone to Love" a few months afterwards. It was followed by A Day at the Races, which was basically a scaled-down rendering of A Night at the Opera that reached number one in the U.K. and number v in the U.S. They continued to pile up stumble singles in both Britain and America over the following five old age, as each of their albums went into the Top Ten, always going away gold and normally atomic number 78 in the process. Because Queen embraced such mass success and worship, they were despised by the john Rock press, specially when they came to stand for all of the worst tendencies of the honest-to-god guard in the awake of punk rock. Nevertheless, the populace continued to buy Queen records. Featuring the Top Five double-A-sided single "We Are the Champions"/"We Will Rock You," Word of the World became a Top Ten hit in 1977. The undermentioned class, Wind closely replicated that success, with the single "Fat Bottomed Girls"/"Bicycle Race" decent an outside stumble despite the monumental tough publicity surrounding their media stunt of staging a nude painting female bicycle race.


World-beater were at the height of their popularity as they entered the '80s, cathartic The Game, their near divers record album to date, in 1980. On the forcefulness of two number unmatched singles -- the camp rockabilly "Dotty Little Thing Called Love" and the disco-fied "Another One Bites the Dust" -- The Game became the group's first gear American telephone number one record album. However, the bottom fell out of the group's popularity, particularly in the U.S., short after. Their largely instrumental soundtrack to Flash lamp Gordon was coldly standard later in 1980. With the help of David Bowie, Queen were able to successfully vie with new wave with 1981's strike individual "Under Pressure" -- their first gear U.K. telephone number one since "Gypsy Rhapsody" -- which was included both on their 1981 Sterling Hits and 1982's Hot Space. Instead of proving the group's animation, "Under Pressure" was a concluding gasp. Hot Space was only a contain make, and the more rock-oriented The Works (1984) as well was a minor make, with only "Radio set Ga Ga" receiving much attention. Shortly after, they left Elektra and gestural with Capitol.


Faced with their decreased popularity in the U.S. and waning popularity in Britain, Queen began touring extraneous markets, cultivating a large, dedicated winnow base in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, continents that near rock candy groups neglected. In 1985, they returned to popularity in Britain in the heat of their show-stopping performance at Live Aid. The following twelvemonth, they released A Kind of Magic to hard European gross revenue, just they failed to make headway in the States. The same luck befell 1989's The Miracle, nonetheless 1991's Insinuation was greeted more than favorably, passing amber and peaking at numeral 30 in the U.S. Nevertheless, it still was a far larger success in Europe, incoming the U.K. charts at telephone number one.


By 1991, Queen had drastically scaley back their activity, causing many rumors to circulate just about Freddie Mercury's health. On November 23, he issued a statement positive that he was stricken with AIDS; he died the next day. The following outflow, the left over members of Queen held a memorial concert at Wembley Stadium, which was broadcast to an international audience of more than one billion. Featuring such guest artists as David Bowie, Elton John, Annie Lennox, Def Leppard, and Guns N' Roses, the concert raised millions for the Mercury Phoenix Trust, which was conventional for AIDS awareness. The concert coincided with a revitalization of interest in "Roma Rhapsody," which climbed to telephone number two in the U.S. and telephone number one in the U.K. in the heat of its appearing in the Mike Myers drollery Wayne's World. Following Mercury's death, the remaining members of Queen were fair quiet. Brian May released his second solo record album, Back to the Light, in 1993, ten-spot days later the release of his first record. Roger Taylor cut a few records with the Cross, which he had been acting with since 1987, while Deacon fundamentally retired. The trey reunited in 1994 to record backup tapes for vocal tracks Mercury recorded on his decease bed. The resulting album, Made in Heaven, was released in 1995 to interracial reviews and potent gross revenue, especially in Europe. Crown Jewels, a box fix repackaging their number one octad LPs, followed in 1998. Archival live recordings, DVDs and compilations kept coming into court through the new millennium. In 2005 the Queen identify was revived just this time with "+ Paul Rodgers" appended to it. Rodgers, the previous lead singer of Free and Bad Company, united Brian May and Roger Taylor -- John Deacon remained retired -- for some live shows, unitary of which was documented on 2005's Return of the Champions, a double disc on the Hollywood label.
