50 Classic Lyrics By Queen to Use as Your Next Instagram Caption
English rock band Queen is one of the all-time greats. It's been exactly 30 years since the release of their last album in 1995, following the passing of legendary frontman Freddie Mercury in 1991, and their powerful influence is still felt today.
They're among the best-selling artists of all time, dominating the airwaves throughout the '70s and '80s with an eclectic approach to rock that was sometimes pure pop, other times operatic and arena-ready, but always irresistible. Even today, they consistently remain among the top 100 most-listened artists of Spotify, and we don't imagine that's going to change anytime soon. It's a special anniversary, and we're celebrating with the all-time greatest Queen lyrics to use as photo captions.
