Don't you think Freddie looked way cuter with the mustache??
Queen (band)
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Queen were an English
rock band. Formed in London in 1970 following the demise of the band
Smile, Queen consisted of vocalist
Freddie Mercury, guitarist
Brian May, bassist
John Deacon and drummer
Roger Taylor. The band became popular with audiences via their
hit songs, live performances, originality and showmanship.
[2] Their 1985
Live Aid performance was voted the best live rock performance of all time in an industry poll.

Queen enjoyed success in the UK in the early 1970s with the albums
Queen and
Queen II, but it was with the release of
Sheer Heart Attack in 1974 and
A Night at the Opera the following year that the band gained international success. They have released fifteen
studio albums, five
live albums and numerous
compilation albums. Since Mercury's death and Deacon's retirement, May and Taylor have performed infrequently together at special events and programmes as members of other ensembles. Between 2004 to 2009 the duo collaborated with
Paul Rodgers, under the moniker
Queen + Paul Rodgers.

Happy Monday. Go see

As a musician, I LOVED Brian May's guitar work. I was listening to Queen in the Navy, when friends told me they were a "fag" band. I said, "Who cares, if the can rock like that?"
Orientation aside, I always respected their musical ability - and still do.
Great Group, Cassie---and a great "Q" word.
Hugs,

Interesting post, Cousin Cassie! I will always associate the Bohemian Rhapsody with high school, as it was released in my sophomore year, and blew everyone away with its blending of operatic nuances and hard rock. ~John
They made fantastic music, didn't they? Great choice for "Q" week, Cassie. I'm behind at commenting, as usual. HA! Hugs to you! :D
