Price: 10.95 euro The story of Queen is one of success, innovation and pure showmanship, with a vast output of hit records and groundbreaking albums from 1973 onwards. The combination of intelligent songwriting, inventive studio manipulation, pioneering videos and camp flamboyance saw Freddie and co. rise unstoppably through the 1970s and '80s, shifting chameleon-esque between styles and sounds. They embraced every form of music they discovered, from the operatic glam inflections of Queen II, through disco, funk, crooning and country, right up to the stadium rock of A Kind Of Magic and the Zeppelin-style mysticism of Innuendo. Their live shows became the stuff of legends, and their videos set vital trends long before the dominance of MTV.
