Artist: Queen

"Queen" was an English rock band originally consisting of 4 members: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor. The band formed in London in the early 1970s after May and Taylor’s former band "Smile" split after having released an album and single. Freddie replaced Tim Staffell as vocalist, and John Deacon joined in February of 1971, playing bass for the band that Freddie renamed "Queen". Queen’s first self titled album was released in 1973 and received little attention from the general public. They quickly followed it with a second album, "Queen II" which also failed to generate much interest from music fans in Britain.
