- Great driving C.D.

I have been an avid queen fan since I was in my mothers womb. I have all of their albums save greatest hits 3 and alot of the rarities. I picked this one up only because of the "new queen song" No one but you and I have to say that it is the weakest song on the album. THe rest of the disc is great. Some new mixes (I'm in love with my car and I can't live with you) some old. But still a great disc to drive to. I can't tell you how many times I acidently do 85 in my car while listening to this disc.

- Queen RAWKS!

A compilation album that featured Queen's heavier side. Some of these tracks were passed over years ago in favor of more "commercial" songs and now finally get their just rewards.Though another compilation album seems tedious, there are wonderful tracks here such as the anti-gun sentiment in "Put Out the Fire" and the Martin Luther King Jr. inspired "One Vision"."I Can't Live With You" is given a rock make-over and is all the better for it. I'd much prefer Roger's drumming to synth drum machines."No-One But You" is of course, a tribute to Freddie and is the only Queen song not to have Freddie's involvement in (well, he'd been dead some 6 years before this song was recorded) but really, this is for anyone who left this world before their time. With Brian and Roger singing a duet for the first time, this track's a winner...regardless of it's stripped down production.Want to avoid the "pop" side of Queen? Buy "Queen Rocks" then.

- Great CD!!!

Of course Queen had some of the best hard rock songs ever made, and this cd is a great collection of them. Even though the last song isn't hard, its a ballad, it a is a great tribute to the Great Legend of the King, Freddie Mercury. He would be proud of the boys!!!!

- Queen - 'Rocks,Vol. 1' (Hollywood)

Nice eighteen track compilation of the heavier,more uptempo Queen songs.Best cuts include "I Want It All","Stone Cold Crazy","Fat Bottomed Girls","Sheer Heart Attack" and two of my personal all-time Queen favorites "Put Out The Fire" and the ass-kickin' "Tie Your Mother Down"(remember when Lynch Mob covered this song?).You know,after I thought of some of their material that didn't make onto this CD,like "Crazy Little Thing Called Love","Another One Bites The Dust" and "Bohemian Rhapsody",for starters.It made me realize something.Boy,Queen had a lot of hits,late night FM staples,etc.According to the Billboard Book Of Top 40,Freddie Mercury and crew had 14 hits.Long live Queen!
