Queen was and is a British rock band that began in 1970. The group consisted of John Deacon playing bass guitar, guitar, and piano, Brian May on keyboards, back-up vocals and of electric guitar, Roger Taylor on drums and percussions, and their flamboyant frontman possibly the best of all times Freddie Mercury.
Queen has just released in December 2009 “Queen-Absolute Greatest”, over the years there has been a “Greatest Hits” as well as a “Greatest Hits II & III, along with the other countless albums. With at least 11 compilation albums released before this one has to ask the question to we really need “Queen-Absolute Greatest” or is it just over kill. In looking at the numbers in the United States alone Queen has sold 32.5 million albums with over half of them coming after Freddie Mercurys’ death in 1991, which brings us to what they call the “Dead Star” factor.
