FORMED: 1971, London, England DISBANDED: 1995 1968: Smile In 1968, Brian May and Tim Staffell, both students at Imperial College, decided they wanted to form a group. Brian placed an advertisement on the college notice board for a "Ginger Baker type" drummer, and a young medical student called Roger Taylor auditioned and got the job. They called the group Smile. Smile were signed to Mercury Records in 1969, and had their first experience of a recording studio in Trident Studios that year. Tim Staffell was at Ealing College of Art with Freddie Bulsara, and introduced him to the band. Freddie soon became a keen fan. Sadly, in 1970 Smile decided to call it a day, as nothing seemed to be happening for them. Tim went off and joined a band called Humpy Bong, and Fred More... (Submit New Queen Lyrics) (Submit New Queen Lyrics) Review about Queen Love it | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Is This The World We Created? performed by Queen I'm doing a dance to this song, and I love it. It's beautiful, melodious, and one of Brian's best songs. It just makes me so sad and happy at the same time. And yet, it's such a gentle way of telling that the world we created is a terrible place. Wow!! Good job Brian!! Just a pretty song | Reviewer: AZBOY smart ------ About the song I Was Born To Love You performed by Queen Yeah,this song is very and very optimistic but i love this song,maybe because this song was performed by an AZERi singer farrukh(freddie) maybe because of farrukh's amazing performance,but there's one true fact,Farrukh and his band Queen is one of the best bands 4ever.... I'd never have guessed... | Reviewer: bryony1 ------ About the song Fat Bottomed Girls performed by Queen ... that FBG is "Delta Dawn," but it doesn't detract from either song. Each is its own, and this one just shows how original Queen was. If only Freddie hadn't died, he'd still be going strong! After all, it was only 18 years ago. This is probably one of the very few, if not the only, song that rhapsodizes over REALLY hefty women. I wonder if one of the members of Queen had a preference for "fat-bottomed girls," because I can't imagine anyone otherwise just making this up. I had a girlfriend with a very rare disease that caused her body from the navel down, including her bottom and thighs, to be absolutely massive. She ate like a bird but was built like half a Humvee. FBG was a great comfort to her, because this is an incurable malady. BTW, in August, all these 18 years later, Freddie was awarded an honor for having the "best mustache in Britain," outdoing John Cleese, Charlie Chaplain, and other mustachioed notables, past and present. However, I thought he looked at his very best in "Bohemian Rhapsody," exotic and beautiful. His later "look" is common in San Francisco -- Short hair, full brush. Ho hum. But that voice!! Just marvelous on "Fat-bottomed Girls," among Queen's best. But what wasn't? Colonial song? | Reviewer: Fraser ------ About the song '39 performed by Queen This song seems to me to be a British colonial song- Explorers sailing for New Zealand or Australia from Britain, finding new lands full of beauty and potential, and then returning sad that the new lands would be turned 'old and grey' by the grandchildren of the settlers. The 'land that our grandchildren knew' is the settler colony This song...a mirror for many of us | Reviewer: Jorge ------ About the song Save Me performed by Queen I always believe that QUEEN had the strange hability to make "mirrors" in their songs. At this point in my life...with two small daughters...and facing the end of my marriage...I see my self in this lyrics I feel a strange mix of a glimpse of joy (to find a song that expresses my feelings) and a terrible emptiness...the fact that not seeing every day my kids...will soon be part my personal history Sad, yet magnificent! | Reviewer: Niloo ------ About the song Who Wants To Live Forever performed by Queen This song is so heartfelt, heartbreaking and yet powerful. Only Queen can give a song everything it need in best way. " Who Wants To Live Forever " should be called: " The most underrated song ever ". I wish that more people know this unique song. I really love it. And love Queen forever… Unique | Reviewer: Niloo ------ About the song The Prophet's Song performed by Queen I strongly believe that every song from the album " A Night at the Opera " is a true masterpiece in music history. This song clearly shows genius of Queen. I advise everyone to listen to this song. Even those who don't listen to Queen normally or that kind of music. The Prophet's Song will blow your mind, I promise. Pure Genius | Reviewer: Niloo ------ About the song Bohemian Rhapsody performed by Queen I think there are 2 reasons that some people may not like this song: 1. They are retarded and ignorant, that's why they can't understand the beauty of it. 2. They are jealous about uniqueness of this song and genius of Queen. I believe this isn't exaggerate at all, if Bohemian Rhapsody called " best song of all the time". and i don't think it's just my own opinion. Answer to Prosper: In live performances, Freddie would often sing the opening vocals of the song "Mustapha" in place of the complex introduction to "Bohemian Rhapsody", going from "Allah we'll pray for you" to "Mama, just killed a man...". p.s. that's Ibrahim, not eevaheev. For fanofthefabfour: If you are a huge Beatles fan, I'm a huge Queen fan too. But I'll never put Beatles or anyone else down just because I'm the biggest fan of Queen. Everyone has a favorite. If you don't like them, don't listen to them and don't leave such a stupid comment. You have the right to love whoever you want, but you don't have any right to insult the thing or the one that you don't like. Please be liberal, ok? Mind Blowing | Reviewer: Niloo ------ About the song Don't Stop Me Now performed by Queen Oh my God!!! What a song, what a lyrics, what a band! I go crazy whenever i listen to this magical song and i want to 'leap through the sky'! Freddie doesn't belong to mankind. He's a goddess. He's one of a kind. Queen is immortal! They will rule the world forever! They are 'love of my life'. Another Masterpiece From a Legendary Band | Reviewer: Niloo ------ About the song Radio Ga Ga performed by Queen What can I say about " Radio Ga Ga "? this song really ROCKS!!!!. I hadn't heard a song before that shows the values of radio like this. This song made me think about radio. Whenever I hear it, I can't get it out of my head for a long time. Thanks Queen for composing such a great song. I'll always love them… WTF??? | Reviewer: Ajith Nair ------ About the song Barcelona performed by Queen About- A reminder. | Reviewer: Mhiro von Hellmann | 10/13/09 I know he's everyone's hero but, guys open up your eyes, none of the songs of Queen were written by Freddie Mercury. He's just a singer, not a composer nor a song writer. Just let you know... or remember MR. Mhiro von Hellmann ? Which planet do you belong to??? Are all of them there as ignorant as you are.... and stupid too to go on and even write about it???? try spending a few pennies and buying a CD and check the credits of the bands songs... or try taking the pain of googling on it before you post crap.. Grear song | Reviewer: Dani ------ About the song Killer Queen performed by Queen I don't see anyone mentioning that this could be a song about a Queen... As in DRAG queen. Dear old Freddie Mercury was gay after all, so I could see this song being about a male in females clothing selling himself. A reminder. | Reviewer: Mhiro von Hellmann ------ About the song Barcelona performed by Queen I know he's everyone's hero but, guys open up your eyes, none of the songs of Queen were written by Freddie Mercury. He's just a singer, not a composer nor a song writer. Just let you know... or remember. thumbs-up!!!!!! | Reviewer: Emielou ------ About the song Don't Stop Me Now performed by Queen I really love the QUEEN ever since I heard their song BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, then when me and my mom brought their DVD I begun to love them even more!!!Too bad their lead vocalist had to die,but the point is QUEEN is still the best band of all!!!! Five Stars | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Prophet's Song performed by Queen By far, my favourite Queen song. This song is as relevant now-a-days as it was thirty years ago. You could read the lyrics alone and recognize how incredible this song has the potential to be.. The execution of everything is absolutely stunning. I would've killed just to hear Freddie Mercury sing three lines of this song live. Everything about this song is epic, everything about it is brilliant. THE mastermind | Reviewer: lischen ------ About the song I'm Going Slightly Mad performed by Queen I really like this special song because it really makes me think. on the one hand it's a quite and unvaried melody but on teh other hand the lyrics are very serious when you really think about it. I like it very much and I have the feeling, like Tina, that Freddie souns kind of insane while singing it. But it always hurts to listen to this special piece because it's at least a strong allusion to his fatal disease . . . it makes me very sad. But the song is still a great one! "Freddie Mercury, may the Power of Almighty God bring Peace, Love and Joy to our immortal King of Queen, as he sings and dances among the Angels." <3 for clarity | Reviewer: kweng ------ About the song Bohemian Rhapsody performed by Queen just to clear things up...this song was definitely NOT about freddie having aids since this was written about 10 years before he was infected. the meaning of this song is a secret only known to freddie (and maybe the band) but it's absolutely not about aids. regarding the live with the intro of "allah, we'll pray for you", etc. it's a different song called Mustapha and fred sings the opening of that song as, "Ibrahim, ibrahim, allah we'll pray for you" and then to bohrap. BTW, mercury's religion is zoroastrianism :D he's a genuis!!! | Reviewer: lischen ------ About the song Living On My Own performed by Queen first of all I've got to say that this a real masterpiece! I already danced to this song when I was just four years old! but it annoys me that everybody always say that this is a QUEEN song. it's not! it's a song of the album Mr.Bad Guy which was a soloproject of FREDDIE MERCURY published in 1985! sorry for being so accurate about it but was really irritating me. amazing! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke performed by Queen Only freddie mercury could come up with a song this spectacular :) Also, what i find amazing is that he got his inspiration from a painting... you just can't find good songwriters/singers like him + queen these days :/ I'm a young queen fan by the way (14 year old girl) AMAZING | Reviewer: ca ------ About the song Brighton Rock performed by Queen just that! please, listen to that solo!! it's just wonderful, there're not enough words to describe it, and roger!!! come on, he makes magic with that drums, and freddy, ok, he is completely perfect, divine, SUBLIME! perfect work, queen is the best ever!
