In the end, Queen released fourteen studio albums between the years 19 not counting the Flash Gordon Soundtrack. It was released after Freddie Mercury had already passed away. That album would in turn become the band’s ultimate final studio album entitled Made In Heaven. The band had been working on a new album in which Freddie Mercury contributed as much as he was able to do so while he was sick. Their final studio album while Freddie Mercury was still alive was released in 1991 entitled Innuendo. The album The Miracle which was fueled by the big hit “I Want It All,” was released in 1989. The band’s twelfth studio album entitled A Kind of Magic was issued in 1986. The final three Queen studio albums were released from 1986 to 1995. Queen was still releasing good albums but nothing like the ones they released from 1973 to 1980. The materiel the band released throughout the 1980s would pale in comparison with their 1970s catalog. Queen returned in 1984 with the album The Works. Thankfully, Queen’s experimentation in dance music only lasted for one album. As a big time Queen fan at the time, I was incredibly disappointed in the direction the band had taken on the album Hot Space. The incredible success of their disco flavored song “Another One Bites the Dust,” resulted in an entire album based on dance music. Although it stands as a Queen studio album, in essence it’s truly just a soundtrack record. In 1980, Queen also recorded the soundtrack to the film Flash Gordon. The band started off the decade of the 1980s on another high note with a big-time hit called “Another One Bites The Dust.” which was released on the album The Game. They were in the same league as groups like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones. There were not many rock and roll bands more popular than Queen. The band would release one more studio album in the 1970s called Jazz which also contained some big time hits including “Bicycle Race,” and “Fat Bottomed Girls.” At the end of the 1970s, Queen was one of the biggest rock bands in the world. They continued their run in 1977 with another great one entitled News of the World. Five great albums in a row were released between 19.
