10 Bands That Never Made The Same Album
10. Queen
Almost any music listener can typically pick Queen's music out of a lineup in no time flat. Even if you don't listen to the band's catalog that extensively, the sheer power of something like "Bohemian Rhapsody" is going to be around for many generations to come. However, the band's sound goes far beyond taking the sound of rock and roll into the theater environment.
Long before the band even started their classical ambitions, they were originally a prog and hard rock flavored product in the style of Led Zeppelin. Once the musical terrain had spread out, each member took their own path, taking every genre they could think of and molding it into the Queen aesthetic. There have been plenty of rockers to go around like "Tie Your Mother Down" and "We Will Rock You," but they left no stone unturned, venturing from disco on "Another One Bites the Dust" to rockabilly on "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" to even showtunes on album cuts like "Seaside Rendezvous."
Some of the songs ended up being so off-the-wall they ended up defining other genres down the road, with cuts like "Stone Cold Crazy" sounding like the rumblings of heavy metal. Queen may be known for their sophisticated approach to rock, but when it comes to each song, nothing was off the table.
