Let's just talk about Queen, shall we? Great musicians, Freddie Mercury had an amazing voice, the band all together was just incredible. I think that it's hysterical that Queen was this hard rock band and yet Mercury was so flamboyant. The two were such an odd mix that worked out in the end! :)
Perhaps most recognizable for Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love Me, We Will Rock You and We are the Champions, to those who aren't into that kind of music at all but have seen Wayne's World (haha) or any movie with the other songs as part of it's soundtrack, I picked this song today so that they would get some recognition for a different song! :) If you know Queen's music then you wouldn't even have to double check, "Who sang this?" It's Queen through and through, they had a great sound that saturated every bit of music they did. Without Freddie, who died in 1991 from AIDS, the band has continued to play music for different venues, most notably in support of AIDS research and such. Queen has had such a powerful influence on the music world that there is even a musical based on them with all their songs! Freddie would have loved that.
Do me a favor and take a listen to today's song BUT as bonus, if you are feeling like you just need to hear Queen as you might know them I have included two of their most recognizable songs today from movies I love them in! :) Happy Monday!
