| Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, Queen delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Stone Cold Classics includes 12 of their biggest hits with former frontman Freddie Mercury, as well as 2 live tracks with Paul Rodgers taken from their Return of the Champions tour.

Notes & Personnel Info |  | Queen: John Deacon, Brian May, Freddie Mercury. | | Additional personnel: Paul Rogers. | | Photographers: George Hurrell; Simon Fowler. | | This limited edition compilation, issued in conjunction with AMERICAN IDOL's "Queen Week," brings together 12 hits by the original configuration of Queen with Freddie Mercury. Queen's discography is plentiful and varied, so a 12-song set is a brief introduction by anyone's standards. Nonetheless, the band's indispensable recordings are here, including "Another One Bites the Dust," "We Will Rock You," "We Are the Champions," and the operatic epic "Bohemian Rhapsody." | | Included alongside these seminal cuts are the Queen classics "Fat Bottomed Girls," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," and "Radio Ga Ga," among others. Fans may quibble at the absence of tracks like "Killer Queen" and "Somebody to Love," but the set is designed to serve as a quick introduction to this classic-rock behemoth. The disc comes with two bonus live tracks featuring the "re-formed" Queen with Paul Rogers on vocals. |
