Queen - The Kings of Pop Rock

Queen were one of the rock band sensations of the 1970s and 80s. Fronted by the flamboyant Freddie Mercury, Queen were often scorned by music critics but loved by fans. They are estimated to have sold over 300 million albums worldwide and clocked up over 1300 weeks of UK chart time. Songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen and We Will Rock You remain clasics today.

So what made Queen such a long-lasting phenomenon? My personal feeling is that they combined showmanship a sense of fun with great tunes and singalong lyrics. Although Queen's style of rock was also pop, it was never bland.

Some of today's boy bands could learn a thing or two.
