Released
just about a month before Freddie Mercury's untimely death in November
1991, a second best-of collection titled Greatest Hits, Vol. 2, was
issued in England only. While the album was resequenced (with other
tracks added) and released as Classic Queen in the U.S. in 1992,
Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 features all of the band's European hits from
1982 through 1991. Since 1981's Greatest Hits went on to become one of
the best-selling albums of all time in Queen's homeland (spending 63
weeks on the charts when first released, and reappearing steadily ever
since), the band had racked up enough hits to warrant a follow-up ten
years later. While Queen's hits from this era may not be as stellar as
their '70s predecessors, they were all still very compelling rock
compositions. Tracks such as "Radio Ga Ga," "Friends Will Be Friends,"
"I Want to Break Free," and "I'm Going Slightly Mad" show that the band
could still compose pop gems, while the hard rockers "I Want It All,"
"Headlong," "One Vision," and "Hammer to Fall" kept their longtime fans
happy. Also included are a few of the band's more epic compositions —
"The Miracle," "Innuendo," "Who Wants to Live Forever," and "A Kind of
Magic" — which help round out this second excellent collection of
British Queen hits. [EMI's 2001 reissue keeps the track list intact,
but ups the ante with some lavish packaging.]
