Queen, is a British rock band sometimes compared to The Beatles. Their biggest hit was Bohemian Rhapsody, first released in 1975.

Members: Though Freddie Mercury's personality always dominated in the press, actually all four members of the group wrote huge hits: Freddie Mercury (We Are the Champions), Brian May (We Will Rock You), Roger Taylor (Radio Ga Ga) and John Deacon (Another One Bites the Dust).

Films: Queen contributed music directly to the movies Flash Gordon and Highlander (the original film directed by Russel Mulcahy). Several other films featured their songs, including Iron Eagle, Wayne's World, Small Soldiers and A Knight's Tale.

Legendary songs: We Will Rock You is a staple at sporting events around the world; audience members will stomp and clap along to the rhythm of the song and chant the chorus line of the song, in support of their team. We are the Champions is a favourite post-game song for obvious reasons.
