Here's an idea of a new tribute album. What about making a Kidz Bop: Queen Collection??? Great idea or what!!
...no.
How about a Queen cover collection of tunes that got under-used?
Like Dreamer's Ball, Was It All Worth It, GKR, etc.
Introduce some of the non-Greatest Hits to kids.
OK, PhoenixRising wrote a review, so I can't resist writing one too.
  
Gavin DeGraw's "We Are the Champions" doesn't do it for me. I don't like the arrangement. I find I often skip this track on the CD. But maybe that's because I'm not a big DeGraw fan anyway...
Shinedown's "Tie Your Mother Down" is fun. A strong interpretation.
Constantine's "Bohemian Rhapsody" with WWRY was excellent. It was very faithful to the original but it worked, because he has a fantastic voice, extremely expressive, and the drama to pull off this very difficult song. I hope this gets some radio play.
Eleven with Josh Homme's "Stone Cold Crazy" has a quasi bluesy feel to it, which was unexpected, but good. I must say Josh does a great job with the song.
Jason Mraz's "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" is fun to listen to. I'm no fan of Mraz but he did the song justice.
Joss Stone's "Under Pressure" was ugly, the worst track on the CD. Her voice is fine but the band screwed this up for her. It's a shame.
Breaking Benjamin's "Who Wants to Live Forever" really, really works. I love it.
Be Your Own Pet's "Bicycle Race" is just plain irritating. I skip this song every time I listen to the CD.
Josh Kelley's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is not bad, but it's not good either. It's boring.
I found Los Lobos' "Sleepin' on the Sidewalk" affected. I can't enjoy it at all. Maybe it will grow on me.
For me Sum-41's "Killer Queen" was the biggest surprise of the CD. I expected to hate it but it is awesome. I didn't know Whibley had it in him. It's just terrific. I hope it gets played on the radio.
Rooney's "Death on Two Legs" was well done, I guess. It's not a song I ever listened to much.
Jon Brion's "Play the Game" didn't do anything for me. It lacks passion. The singing was passable.
I tried to like the Flaming Lips' version of "Bohemian Rhapsody," I really did. All I can say is I almost wish Constantine's version had been the only one on the album. Well not really, because it's good to know "Bohemian Rhapsody" can lend itself to so much. But really... I don't like this version at all. I know they were trying to do something really original, but it didn't work.
Ingram Hill's "'39" was excellent. He made the song his own.
Antigone Rising's "Fat Bottom Girls" was great, I can't imagine anyone not liking it. Great to hear a woman singing this.
