Greatest Video Hits[2 DVD]

My favorite band has long been STYX, as my favorite musician of any and all genre's has always been Tommy Shaw. Other favorite bands have included the Bill Bruford/ Rick Wakeman incarnations of YES, the Terry Kath era CHICAGO and others. Never, would I have included the band QUEEN among them, although I liked several of their songs.My perception of what constituted this band, in hindsight, was horribly mistaken. Never had I realized that among such pomposity as BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST and FAT BOTTOM GIRLS, that the band had incredible depth and intellect that far exceeded "MY BEST FRIEND"... until now.Listening first to many of the lesser known songs (albeit hits in their own rights), the depth of introspection and spirituality just astonished me. Listening then to the commentaries from Brian May and Roger Taylor opened my eyes to the idealogoes, the myths and the truths about some of their music which garnered my respect.From their, opening my ears to the later albums, I was truly blown away by the sincerity and intelligence of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. It almost seems to me that once they decided to share writing credits, that they finally gelled as a single unit (instead of a band of 4 contrasting musicians) and wrote their best music... indisputably their most heart-felt music.I can now understand the hullabaloo about QUEEN in the late 70's and 1980's and argue along with most QUEEN fans to beleive that QUEEN was the best rock and roll band of that era. JOURNEY, REO SPEEDWAGON, BAD COMPANY and all others just could not hold a candle to QUEEN. STYX in their best years made for great competition, but STYX' best years were few before the band divided into a group of "contrasting musicians." QUEEN carried on until death did they part... and only got better with age.If you are a true QUEEN fan, you already own this fabulous DVD set (QUEEN's GREATEST VIDEO HITS 1 & 2)... If you are not, YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF to buy this and see and hear what was best about the so-called arena rock/ progressive rock/ anthemic rock era. QUEEN was far more than their pomposity. They were a genuine, talented band that made great music across many spectrums (which is what I liked best about STYX.)

It is a really good compilation of videos. Wish there were other songs on it. Great videos.

If you are a Queen fan like me and want all of their hist and more, look no farther. This is the only collection you will need.33 original promotion videos on 2 DVD discs. That is what they called them back before the days of MTV. But they are the same videos you saw on MTV and VH1 back in the stone aged 80's. It is obvious that the videos were never cleaned up or remastered. Don't get me wrong. They all look great. But some have grain and over vivid color.But the audio tracks are offered in PCM 2.0 Stereo and DTS 96KHz/24bit 5.1 Surround. All tracks are remastered and remixed in real 5.1 Surround. And it is breathtaking. The remix sounds more like it was mixed for the old 4 channel Quad albums. I don't hear much from the center speaker, but the 4 front and back speakers are alive with the cleanest audio and the widest discrete separation I have heard from a music DVD in a long time.The sound quality is audiophile fantastic. I originally bought this DVD for a video copy of Bohemian Rhapsody. I was stunned when I heard the 5.1 channel separation of this song. I only hoped that the rest of the videos had equal quality. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. After I listened to all 33 videos, I started at the beginning and watched them again.The song "Bicycle Race" is the only one which may not be appropriate for the kiddies. It does contain some mild nudity of women riding bicycles naked. No sex or full frontal nudity. Just a few boobs and butts. But the rest of this collection is for the whole family.This is the must have Queen collection for any fan. I can't believe I only paid $14.00 for this DVD. The song titles included are as follows....Disc One:1. Bohemian Rhapsody2. Another One Bites The Dust3. Killer Queen4. Fat Bottomed Girls5. Bicycle Race (Rated PG-13 for mild nudity)6. You're My Best Friend7. Don't Stop Me Now8. Save Me9. Crazy Little Thing Called Love10. Somebody To Love11. Spread Your Wings12. Play The Game13. Flash14. Tie Your Mother Down15. We Will Rock You16.
