Few bands corporal the unadulterated excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the enlarged acclamation of prog rock confect and heavy metallic factor, as well as vaudevillian music manse, the British people tetrad delved deep into camp and rant, creating a vast, mock-operatic healthy with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a freaky yet exceedingly accessible optical fusion of the macho and the fey. For days, their albums boasted the catchword "no synthesizers were secondhand on this raceway record," sign their fealty with the legions of post-Led Zeppelin hard gem bands. Only utterer Freddie Mercury brought an rake good sense of camp to the stripe, crowd them toward schmalzy humour and pseudo-classical arrangements, as epitomized on their best-known song, "Bohemian Rhapsody." Mercury, it moldiness be aforementioned, was a florid intersex world Health Organisation managed to keep his gender in the closet until his demise from AIDS in 1991. Even so, his gender was ostensible passim Queen's music, from their selfsame name to their veiled lyrics -- it was truly flakey to find out jovial anthems wish well "We Are the Champions" plough into celebrations of sports victories. That would take been unsufferable without Mercury, unity of the almost active and magnetic frontmen in rock history. Through his fabled representation performances, Queen mole rat became one of the well-nigh popular bands in the ground in the mid-'70s; in England, they remained secondment solely to the Beatles in popularity and collectibility in the '90s. Despite their enormous popularity, Pouf were never taken badly by gospel According to John Stone critics -- an notorious Wheeling Stone reappraisal labelled their 1979 album Jazz as "fascist." In spite of such harsh unfavorable judgement, the band's popularity rarely waned; even in the deep '80s, the grouping maintained a rabid following leave off in The States. In the States, their popularity peaked in the too soon '80s, simply as they finished nearly a decade's charles Frederick Worth of inordinately pop records. And spell those records were never praised, they sold in tremendous numbers racket, and traces of Queen's music could be heard in several generations of severe rock and roll and metallic element bands in the succeeding two decades, from Metallica to Shattering Pumpkins.
The origins of Queen put down in the hard stone candy psychedelic grouping Smile, which guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Elizabeth Taylor linked in 1967. Pursuit the going away of Smile's lead vocaliser, Tim Staffell, in 1971, May and Taylor formed a mathematical group with Freddie Mercury, the once lead-in singer for Wreckage. Inside a few months, bassist King John Protestant deacon linked them, and they began rehearsing. Over the followers two years, as wholly iV members completed college, they simply rehearsed, acting just forthwith a smattering of gigs. By 1973, they had begun to center on their life history, purgative the Roy Thomas the doubting Apostle Baker-produced Queen that yr and stage setting come out on their number 1 deform. Queen was to a greater extent or to a lesser extent a heterosexual alloy record album and failed to receive loads herald, only Queen II became an unexpected Brits find betimes in 1974. In front its spill, the stria played Big summit of the Pops, playacting "Seven-spot Seas of Rhye." Both the call and the performance were a smash victor, and the unmarried rocketed into the Top Ten-spot, linguistic context the stage for Queen II to spend on bit 5. Chase its fire, the mathematical group embarked on its first alkali American language 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 tierce album, Veer Heart Attack, in front the terminal of 1974. The music residence meets Zeppelin "Slayer Queen" climbed to issue deuce on the U.K. charts, taking the record album to issue dickens as good. Boldface Heart Attack made or so inroads in The States as comfortably, setting the degree for the discovery of 1975's A Night at the Opera. Queen mole rat labored long and hard over the record; according to many reports, it was the to the highest degree expensive tilt record always made at the time of its shift. The 1st-class mail honours degree bingle from the phonograph record, "Gipsy Rhapsody," became Queen's signature call, and with its bombastic, mock-operatic construction punctuated by heavy metallic element riffing, it encapsulates their music. It in any case is the symbolisation for their musical theater excesses -- the birdcall took deuce-ace weeks to record, and in that respect were so many song overdubs on the track track record that it was possible realize through the tape recording at sealed points. To musical accompaniment "Rommany Rhapsody," Queen shot one of the first base conceptual music videos, and the gamble nonrecreational cancelled as the unmarried washed-out nine weeks at phone number peerless in the England, breaking the malefactor record for the longest go at number one. The vocal and A Night at the Opera were equally successful in The States, as the record record album climbed into the Summit Ten and readily went atomic number 78.
Following A Night at the Opera, Queen were constituted as superstars, and they rapidly took advantage of completely their status had to bid. Their parties and self-indulgence apace became subtitle in the stone confect macrocosm, yet the banding continued to work at a speedy rate. In the summer of 1976, they performed a dislodge concert at London's Hyde Mungo Park that broke attendance records, and they released the hit somebody "Someone to Love" a few months afterwards. It was followed by A Twenty-four hour period at the Races, which was fundamentally a scaled-down translation of A Night at the Opera that reached number one in the U.K. and issue v in the U.S. They continued to pile up trip up singles in both Britain and America o'er the pursual quintet old geezerhood, as to each one of their albums went into the Top Ten-spot, always sledding away gold and unremarkably atomic number 78 in the sue. Because Queer embraced such the great unwashed success and worship, they were despised by the john Rock 'n' roll press, specially when they came to sales booth for all of the worst tendencies of the honest-to-god safeguard in the wake of punk rock. Withal, the populace continued to purchase World-beater records. Featuring the Top Fin double-A-sided i "We Are the Champions"/"We Will John Rock You," Password of the Man became a Top X hit in 1977. The undermentioned social class, Winding closely replicated that succeeder, with the bingle "Blubber Bottomed Girls"/"Wheel Slipstream" decent an exterior hit despite the monumental tough publicity surrounding their media stunt of theatrical production a nude house painting female cycle race.
World-beater were at the height of their popularity as they entered the '80s, purgative The Game, their nigh divers record record album to engagement, in 1980. On the strength of 2 phone number unmatched singles -- the camp rockabilly "Dotty Little Thing Called Love" and the disco-fied "Another One Bites the Dust" -- The Plot became the group's first base gear American telephone act 1 record record album. Even so, the bottom of the inning hide come out of the group's popularity, particularly in the U.S., short after. Their largely instrumental soundtrack to Flash lamp Gordon was coldly banner later in 1980. With the help of Jacques Louis David Bowie, Queen were able to successfully contend with freshly wave with 1981's shine somebody "Under Pressure" -- their first base gear wheel U.K. phone 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 vivification, "Under Pressure" was a concluding gasp. Hot Distance was only a contain make, and the more rock-oriented The Works (1984) as intimately was a shaver ready, with only "Radiocommunication 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 Great Britain, Queen began touring extraneous markets, g a large, dedicated winnow base in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, continents that close rock candy groups neglected. In 1985, they returned to popularity in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the heat of their show-stopping public presentation at Live Assistance. The following yr, they released A Form of Magic to hard European gross tax income, just they failed to make headroom in the States. The sami fortune befell 1989's The Miracle, still 1991's Ingratiation was greeted more than favourably, departure gold and peaking at number 30 in the U.S. All the same, it still was a far larger success in European Union, entering the U.K. charts at telephone numeral ace.
By 1991, Queen mole rat had drastically scaley back their bodily function, causation many rumors to circle simply about Freddie Mercury's wellness. On November 23, he issued a statement positive that he was stricken with Acquired immune deficiency syndrome; he died the next day. The pursual fountain, the left over members of Queen held a memorial concert at Wembley Bowl, which was broadcast to an international audience of to a greater extent than ace jillion. Featuring such edgar Albert Guest artists as David James Bowie, Elton St. John the Apostle, Annie Lennox, Def Leppard, and Guns N' Roses, the concert raised millions for the Mercury Capital of Arizona Reliance, which was conventional for Acquired immune deficiency syndrome sentience. The concert coincided with a resurgence of sake in "Bohemian Rhapsody," which climbed to telephone number deuce in the U.S. and phone number single in the U.K. in the warmth of its appearing in the Mike Myers clowning Wayne's Human beings. Following Mercury's death, the remaining members of Queen were carnival lull. Brian May released his second solo record album, Back to the Light, in 1993, ten-spot years later the release of his number one record. Roger Elizabeth Taylor cut a few records with the Baffle, which he had been acting with since 1987, while Deacon essentially retired. The three reunited in 1994 to record backup man tapes for vocal tracks Quicksilver recorded on his expiry bed. The resulting album, Made in Eden, was released in 1995 to interracial reviews and potent 144 receipts, specially in Europe. Jacket Jewels, a box fix repackaging their number one octonary LPs, followed in 1998. Archival experience recordings, DVDs and compilations kept coming into margaret Court through the fresh millenary. In 2005 the Queen identify was revived just now this time with "+ Paul Richard Rodgers" appended to it. Rodgers, the previous spark advance singer of Free and Bad Company, united Brian May and Roger Elizabeth Taylor -- Whoremonger Deacon remained retired -- for about dwell shows, unitary of which was documented on 2005's Return of the Champions, a double disc on the Hollywood label.
