We made it to the final album of Queen's repertoire with Freddie Mercury, Innuendo. This week we take a look at the songs and stories behind the making of this final album. This album is seen by some as the last love letter to Freddie when he was recording it with the band, others look at his goodbye. Either way, the album holds strong on its own and still holds up to this day.

This week we're taking a break from the album series and having a special guest on the show, Jordan's friend Sam! They dive back into the world of Bohemian Rhapsody, but this time add in some discussion about the Elton John biopic Rocketman. These two movies share a lot more than just a genre, but also a director and more key pieces of the 1970's rock scene.

This week is all about Queen's 1984 release, The Works. This album only has 9 songs but they all stand out in their own ways and play out like a classic 80's movie. The Works is packed with hit releases like Hammer to Fall, Radio Gaga, and I Want to Break free, along with some of their most iconic music videos ever, one of them even getting banned in the US!

This week we take a look at Queen's dive into 80's synths, iconic disco-influenced basslines, and roasting some white rapper from Florida. It's all about Hot Space and the chaos that went into making the episode with the band's famous arguments and some not-so-subtle musical digs at each other (cough cough Back Chat).

This week we're taking a break from our album discussion series and taking a dive into the iconic looks of Queen in the 1980s! We're going back to the era of loud colors, bold patterns, and a lot of exposed chest hair from Freddie. The band shared a wide range of styles throughout this time, all reflecting the changing times and attitudes that defined the decade. We take a look at some of our favorite looks as well as looks submitted by our listeners to determine if they were a "Yes Queen" or if it was a choice.
You can find all the looks we reviewed right here!

This week we're all about that Jazz, the album that is. The wild parties of Queen are famously marked with this album's release, and the music itself gets wild too. The best way we can describe this album is there's naked women on bicycles, Brian is on some track record with his songwriting, and Jordan is convinced these men traded bodies during recording.

This week we dive into News of the World, an album with some of the most famous stadium rock songs still played today. This album is another genre-bending rollercoaster pulling Queen from their prog-rock roots into a punk based style with Sheer Heart Attack, or a Spanish influenced love song from Teo Torriate, it's an album with something for everyone to love.

We cover everything from his music, his life, and the real-life legend himself.
