View More By Queen Our ReviewStone Cold Classics was intended as a tie-in for the 2006 season of American Idol, which featured an episode in which contestants performed Queen songs. That these songs were being played on television shows almost thirty years after their birth speaks to Queen’s enduring popularity. Even now the band’s range is astounding. “Tie Your Mother Down” and “Fat Bottomed Girls” fit in easily alongside the lewd boogie of Bad Company and Lynyrd Skynyrd, while “Stone Cold Crazy” is vicious enough to have influenced bands like Metallica and Guns ‘n’ Roses. Still, Queen’s later career cemented its legacy. A series of brilliant genre experiments brought them massive crossover success, from the rockabilly of “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” to the disco of “Another One Bites the Dust.” They stayed competitive well into the ‘80s with the power balladry of “The Show Must Go On” and the quiet storm R&B of “These Are the Days of Out Lives.” Queen’s diversity of qualities appealed to several different audiences at once, which makes the band an ideal study for the pop-star hopefuls of American Idol.. Customer ReviewsWhat An Album (5 stars)Queen Gives Me The Shivers...( in the good sense ) their music is just Fabulous, and their singles with Paul Rogers just put the icing on the cake. Queen is a classic band that will go down in history for singles such as Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are The Champions (my favorite 2). This CD also saves me a lot of time from clicking on BUY SONG for every single one, I love all these songs except Radio Ga Ga, but its still ok. In conclusion, quee A great album by Queen (5 stars) I like this album for many reasons, but the biggest reason is that it made me look at Queen in a different way. "Stone cold crazy" kind of reminded me of Bob Dylan, with the fast little beat. "Tie your mother down" kind of reminded me of The Beatles, and when Chris Daughtry sang "Higher ground" on "idol". "Fat bottomed girls" it's kind of hard to describe that song. But I do like the little Stone Cold Perfect (5 stars) I am a huge Queen fan. This album may not have every good song Queen has ever written, but overall it has what's needed. I personally recommend this album to any amateur who wants to get into queen. Of course it is excluding some minutely important songs, but it has the essentials, such as Fat Bottomed Girls, Another-one Bites the Dust, We Will Rock You, and of course, my favorite song (also nominated for greatest rock song ever by many reli BiographyFormed: 1971 in London, EnglandGenre: Rock Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly accessible fusion of the macho and the fey. For years, their albums boasted the motto "no synthesizers were used on this record," signaling their allegiance with the legions...
