Three albums worth listening to in full
If you liked our selection, listen to three Queen albums from different times. We tried to cover all the diversity of the band's creativity - from operatic themes to pop songs.
A Night at the Opera (1975)
A Night at the Opera was a breakthrough both in the band's work and in rock music in general. Queen tried to be very different from the bands with which she was compared, so the album turned out to be difficult and daring. And now many people call it the best release of the band.

The Game (1980)
The Game marked the transition from the 70s to the 80s - here synthesizers appear in Queen's music. This album also includes Another One Bites the Dust - one of the most popular songs of the group, based on which, according to many, Michael Jackson wrote his Billie Jean a little later.

A Kind of Magic (1986)
There are not many experiments here, but many strong hits. This album is compiled from the band's soundtracks for the films "Iron Eagle" and "Highlander". Therefore, he loses a little in concept, but still perfectly shows what kind of music Queen played in the mid-80s.
