3,730 words (approx. 14.9 pages) | 6 sources | APA | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

With a career spanning over 20 years, and a string of hits that remain sporting event anthems, Queen still remains one of the most beloved rock bands of all-time, even after the tragic death of Freddie Mercury over ten years ago. This essay discusses everything a person could want to know about this legendary group. Within the essay you'll find the humble origins of the four band members in Britain, their struggle to get noticed by the public, their eventual rise to super-stardom, and the eventual tragic death of Freddie Mercury at the hands of the AIDS virus. It also includes a bit of post-Queen information on the surviving members of the band and what they have been up to in the years since.

From the Paper:

"Throughout rock and roll history, Britain has produced some of the most important and revolutionary acts. There's been the controversial bad boy genius of the Rolling Stones, the front-running of "glam rock" by David Bowie, and of course the unparalleled skill and style of the Beatles. These artists, along with many others who have come out of Britain, have made important political and social statements with their music that captured the hearts and minds of their generations and beyond. However, one of Britain's most legendary acts often didn't have very much to say at all in terms of politics, or trying to revolutionize the music industry. Instead, this group focused on becoming what is arguably one of the best disposable pop groups ever, and one of the greatest bands at performing true "stadium rock." This group was Queen, and they were embraced as one of England's most cherished bands (probably second only to the Beatles), while even finding moderate success in America as well."
