They played a little loose with some of the facts, but otherwise I thought it was pretty good and Rami Malek was phenomenal.

Yes it was an awesome movie I actually saw it in imax because of the music and you should get this album right here it has their very best on it

To get a reasonable overview of the beginning the first album Queen 1 and Night At The Opera will give you a good grounding and then fill the gaps from there. A Day At The Races and News Of The World are not too special but if you get a chance try to see their set at Live Aid in 1985.

I worked to avoid FM growing up, what little I couldn’t was so over the top, and played to death.. No great memories there. The music seemed a vehicle for attention, and though I’d not have known the characteristics of a Histrionic PD back then, now, he screams...

Do appreciate your description, though, but ‘of that era,’ I’ve no Queen’s Greatest Hits

I have yet to see it...my daughter saw it and tells me it's great and that I should really get around to watching it in the theatre
