Hall of Fame Essay

2001

Jim Farber

Can you imagine a more improbable band than Queen?

Who but they would think it a good idea to sweep high-operatic arias over low-down heavy metal? To plunk an outrageously camp singer in front of a balls-to-the-wall rock & roll band? In short, to take the noble risk of looking ridiculous by mixing the most florid sounds with the most guttural.
