First class - By: Mr. M. F. Allen, 12 May 2008 
Music introduced to me by my daughter. It is excellent & a worthy addition to any collection.
Simply the best Greatest Hits around - By: Mr. Jonathan Robin Oxley, 25 Apr 2008 If you were to buy one Queen album, this would be it. Apart from Sheer Heart Attach & A Night At The Opera, Queen's studio album's were inconsistent affairs & always had the odd stinker (e.g. Drowse, More Of That Jazz, Who Needs You, etc). This album collates 17 of their biggest singles (all Top 20in one way or another) & you can't really complain about the track listing. OK, so a few singles are not on here (Tie Your Mother Down & Spread Your Wings were minor hits, Keep Yourself Alive didn't chart) but this compilation seems perfectly balanced with the tracks already on here. It's apparent that Freddie Mercury was definitely the dominant songwriter within this period of the band (Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen, Crazy Little Thing...., Somebody To Love, Don't Stop Me Now, etc) but there are also a couple of gems from John Deacon (Another One Bites The Dust, You're My Best Friend) with Brian May providing the rock (Now I'm Here, We Will Rock You, etc). Basically, this album is essential even for non-Queen fans.
Fantastic - By: A. Hadwin, 26 Mar 2008 Ordered this CD the other day & it's great. All i can say is that you won't be dissapointed if you buy this CD. All the greatest hits & well worth the price.
Glorious - By: JJ, 05 Dec 2007 Ladies & Gentlemen, please be upstanding for the finest rock album ever!
Queen albums had their fare share of filler & dross - this is evaporated off into a one CD collection of their finest moments.
Without a single duffer, the only improvement could have been inclusion of Tie Your Mother Down & Spread Your Wings. Otherwise - perfect!
If you only buy one Queen album, get this one - By: Penn Name, 04 Jul 2007 Greatest Hits covers Queen's "classic" period, & shows just how good they were as a singles band.
There are *no* bad songs on this album- most of them are very good if not downright brilliant. (I still remember the first time I heard "Don't Stop Me Now"- it just felt so... good). And because there's a diverse range of styles (unlike some singles collections) you never get the feeling of "nothing but sweets".
In response to the person who didn't like the line up... well, this *is* their Greatest Hits. Although a fantastic album track, Brighton Rock was never a single & wouldn't fit stylistically here. Keep Yourself Alive never charted, & Tie Your Mother Down didn't do well either; they're also both overratedin my humble opinion... & Bicycle Race rules- so there!! (Ahem)
In my opinion, this is Queen's best "album". Okay, purists will probably complain that compilations don't count, but who cares what they think?! If I could only have one Queen CD, this would be it.
This is one of the few albums I'd recommend without qualification- if you like pop or rock, it should bein your collection- no question.
