When you first look at the tracks, you see four solo sings by Freddie or Brian, and four collaborations. Not exactly Queen...

That's why it's called Queen+. Every tracks is high quality Queen music.

- The Show Must Go On features Elton John on vocals and he really gives it a lot during this great live performance of what has been hailed one of Queen's best songs.

- Under Pressure (rah mix): At first, seems like a stupid remix, but the more I hear it on TV and radio, the better it seems. Worthy of its place on the album, and as a single (No 1?). The video's excellent.

- From mock opera to real opera, Freddie tried everything. Barcelona is a great sporting theme for the city, and Freddie's vocals at his best.

- A 'reject' from The Miracle, Too Much Love Will Kill You really was appropriate for the Made In Heaven album, and deserves its place here.

- George really gives this everything he has on Somebody To Love, and sounds eerily like Freddie sometimes. A really great live collaboration at the FM Tribute Concert.

- The 'fun' track of Made In Heaven, You Don't Fool Me went down well in clubs across Europe, peaking at 2 in Turkey. From a skeleton, Brian, Roger and John really did well.

- Heaven For Everyone was another appropriate archived song to release on Made In Heaven, and a number 2 hit in the UK. Great stuff.

- Somewhat neglected in 1982, Las Palabras De Amor is a really touching ballad which really should have been on GH II.

- There are three of Freddie's solo tracks, so why not one by Brian? Driven By You was a big hit in the early nineties.

- Possibly Freddie's most successul solo outing, Living On My Own was definately the most catchy.

- Another song from Made In Heaven. GH1 and 2 comprised of most of the singles, as is the case here.

- Freddie's cover of the famous song, The Great Pretender is performed really well, with very powerful vocals.

- Princes Of The Universe. Truly excellent. Why wasn't this released as a single in the UK? So complex and with so many changes of tempo, this showed how great Queen were at their peak.

- Another One Bites The Dust: Wyclef Jean on a Queen album?

- No-One But You is a touching tribute to Freddie. It had to be here.

- After being released on the flipside of Bohemian Rhapsody in 1991, These Are The Days Of Our Lives became a hit in its own right when people turned the vinyl over and the radio stations gave it some airtime.

- Thank God It's Christmas is more than likely just to cash-in on the festive season and to finally claim to have all the singles on one album or another. Still a good, if over-commercialised, song.

Overall, the highest quality of music on a Queen album with exception only to its two preceding Greatest Hits. Favorite tracks: Princes Of The Universe and Under Pressure remix.

For Queen fans and just keen music fans alike.

Queen 2 April 2011

This CD is a must for the Queen fan.
When it originally released it was slammed as a compliation of Queen hits with others.
It really brings together the singles that were spread across various areas all over the years before onto one cd.

Greatest Hits3 - speaks for itself that a band can put out a bona fide third album of hits.No point in reviewing all of the songs individually but i would say that 'the show must go on' with Elton John on lead vocal is truly appalling !!! The music is spot on but Elton's vocals sounds like he is singing whilst swallowing stones - i sincerely hope this was not meant to be his tribute to Freddie Mercury. If you do need to listen to this track be prepared to cringe.

Wasted opportunity
What is a hit? It might be a hit single or it might just be a live hit. While not every Queen single made the Top 20 I am painfully aware of the album being credited to Queen Plus... Read more

Not as good as the first two...
Sorry to disagree with everyone else here, but this is a severe disappointment compared to the first two Greatest Hits albums which really showed how excellent a band Queen were. Read more

When I first listened to this CD I was just gobsmacked! I love the "No one but you" track which, for the first time, features the 3-man Queen line up. Read more

an excellent farewell
Only Queen could provide us with such a moving and breath-taking final album to take away some of the sadness of the last release, Made In Heaven. Read more

Not quite Queen, but okay.
I had to buy it, having Greatest Hits 1 and 2 and just about every Queen album ever! Okay so there it doesn't come up with much new, but I still think it's worth hearing. Read more

Intersting-ish.
"Queen plus"... well anyone really. What is Wycliffe Jean doing here. Killed the song, killed the vid! Rah mix has gone OTT on synthing the guitars. Read more
