🎼2 June 1986. 35 years ago Queen released their twelveth album, A Kind of Magic which immediately became one of the most successful in their career, also thanks to the Highlander film!
Many of the album songs were in fact included in the soundtrack of one of the most iconic cult movies of the 80s, starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery.

50 years ago Queen from London #UK, released their self-titled debut album.

Few words to spend on this album, probably it's not considered their best, it's my favorite #Queen anyway, a Hard Rock masterpiece highly influenced by Progressive Rock and Heavy Metal.

In this album:
#FreddieMercury β€“ lead vocals, piano, Hammond organ, backing vocals
#BrianMay β€“ guitars, piano, backing vocals
#RogerTaylor (credited as Roger Meddows-Taylor) – drums, percussion, lead vocals (7), backing vocals
#JohnDeacon (credited as Deacon John) – bass

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams
Yet slips away from us?

There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one
Sweet moment set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever?

πŸ‘‰ Queen, 2 June 1986
