Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen did
Queen's first self titled album was released in 1973 and received little attention from the general public. They shortly followed it with a second album which still lacked much interest from music fans all over Britain. Despite this, the band began developing a huge following in Japan and witnessed their popularity for themselves when they visited the country; mainly in 1975 to promote their fourth and most famous album "A Night at the Opera", featuring the epic Bohemian Rhapsody.
Queen's popularity grew strongly throughout the 70s as they released album after album. Fans continued to worship the band right through the 80s and into the early 90s before Mercury's death On 24 November 1991. The official cause of death was bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS.
Over the course of their 30 year career the band did sound tracks for two films (Flash Gordon and Highlander), released a string of live and studio albums, and became idols to many people across the world.
In recent times (this written in August 2006), remaining members Brian May and Roger Taylor (John Deacon no longer wishes to be a part of Queen on stage) have toured with Free and Bad Company's Paul Rodgers as collaboration Queen Paul Rodgers. (read more)
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Bohemian Rhapsody Lyrics

All Your Base mashed up with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody
This is ridiculously amazing: the terrible Engrish subtitles from Zero Wing that inspired the cult video All Your Base Are Belong to Us, sung to the tune of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

I love Queen. Best band ever! I saw them in Atlanta for the Hot Space tour. I had terrible seats, but at least I got to see them.

I loved Queen in the beginning -- Queen I, II and Sheer Heart Attack -- and became less enchanted as the years went by. Saw them in the 70's and they were Awesome. My favorite song isn't listed in you poll. "Keep Yourself Alive" was on the jukebox in my high school and I played it every morning for a jump start to my day. Brian May Rules!

I saw them at Wembley Arena in 1984 and they were absolutely fabulous, especially Freddie of course.
