"Greatest Hits II" is a celebrated compilation album by the legendary British rock band Queen, released in CD format by Parlophone. This collection features some of Queen's most iconic tracks from their prolific period between 1981 and 1991, including hits like "A Kind of Magic," "Under Pressure," and "Radio Ga Ga." The album showcases the band's remarkable versatility, blending rock anthems with pop sensibilities and innovative production. Queen, formed in London in 1970, achieved worldwide fame with their unique sound and dynamic performances led by Freddie Mercury. With over 300 million records sold globally and timeless classics such as "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "We Will Rock You," they are one of the best-selling music artists ever. Parlophone, established in Germany in 1896 before becoming a prominent British label, has been home to many influential acts across genres. Renowned for its commitment to quality music releases, Parlophone played a pivotal role in shaping modern popular music.
Queen's 2nd Greatest Hits package is a solid collection of material gleaned mostly from the 1980s with the brilliant 'Under Pressure' (featuring David Bowie), 'It's A Hard Life', 'Who Wants To Live Forever' and the gorgeous 'Innuendo' standing out as my favorite tracks.
