Greatest Hits II

Product Information

Australia was identical to the US version, but had "Tie Your Mother Down" (live version, with organ intro) as an extra track. Fourteen in total, from “A Kind Of Magic” (Highlander Soundtrack) to “The Show Must Go On”, “Under Pressure” (with David Bowie) to “Innuendo” (the last big hit), brought Mercury, May, Deacon and Taylor into the very closed circle of sacred rock monsters. In 2004, to promote the Las Vegas production of the musical We Will Rock You, Hollywood Records released Greatest Hits: We Will Rock You Edition, which was the UK Greatest Hits with three bonus tracks.

This grouping collects all versions and editions of the "Greatest Hits II" compilation, originally released on 28. However, retrospective reviews have rated the album higher: Ira Robbins gave Greatest Hits a B+ rating in Entertainment Weekly upon its reissue in 1992, [9] and AllMusic awarded the record four and a half stars out of five.

The album consisted of Queen's biggest hits between 1981 and 1991, from the UK chart-topper "Under Pressure" to "The Show Must Go On".

Back at home, the band were as high profile as ever, though moreso in the tabloids than in the music papers. The singles " Body Language", " Back Chat", " Las Palabras de Amor", " Thank God It's Christmas", " Princes of the Universe" and " Scandal" were omitted for this release. Type Queen in the box under the ARTISTA column heading and Greatest Hits II in the box under the TÍTULO column heading.

Apart from Under Pressure and Radio Ga Ga, all of the 17 singles here did not crack the American Top 40, but they’re well-known throughout the world, particularly the operatic anthems A Kind of Magic, I Want It All, I Want to Break Free, and Who Wants to Live Forever.This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. I don’t mind some surface noise from an old weathered vinyl, but a new one is a little annoying even after cleaning multiple times. Note: New videos were created for Now I'm Here, Seven Seas Of Rhye and Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy for this collection, as they did not previously have music videos. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners. In an interview in 2003 as part of the Arte television programme Music Planet 2Nite, Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien hailed the album as "impeccable" and "absolutely genius".
