Queen. Love them or hate them, everyone has an opinion. Everyone knows their music. From the radio-friendly hit singles to the early prog rock epics, from the cod-heavy bombast to the jazz pastiches, from the introspective ballads to the thumping anthems, Queen’s music continues to be heard all around the world.
In this special three-hour programme, many of the Progzilla presenters select their personal favourite Queen songs, and read extracts from Andrew Wild’s forthcoming new book Queen–On Track.
