The Platinum Collection - Greatest Hits I, II & III

The Platinum Collection - Greatest Hits I, II & III
What once seemed Queen’s greatest liabilities–a preening flamboyance and pompous, overwrought theatricality–have ironically become their most enduring charms in a grey, postmodern pop-music landscape. While it eschews the glammy, pre-punk hard rock of live faves such as “Stone Cold Crazy” and “Tie Your Mother Down” for the band’s more quirky club-beat string of latter-day hits , this 51-track triple-CD anthology goes a long way toward documenting the true dimensions of the band’s music and fame. It even includes some solo work by Brian May and Freddie Mercury, whose duet on “Barcelona” with diva Montserrat Caball? transcends boundaries of both time and genre. A previously unreleased live performance of “The Show Must Go On” featuring Elton John on vocals is also included. –Jerry McCulley

Customer Review: The perfect greatest hits collection
This is a brilliant set of cds. Unlike many greatest hit collections this has every song you could want and was a great price. If you like Queen you have to buy this cd.

Customer Review: Great for Queen Newbies
If, like me, Queen were before your time, this is really for you. It has all the songs that you here in movies all the time (We will Rock You, You’re my Best Friend, etc) as well as loads you might possibly have never heard. Takes the fuss out of getting into Queen.

And of course, the music is absolutely fantastic.
