Queen - A Night At The Odeon DVD
Review by Greg Olma
Queen has gone through a number of musical changes, but their earlier material was definitely prog influenced. They never shied away from experimenting which created a sound that was uniquely their own.

Iommi - Iommi
Review by Gary Hill
This solo release by Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has quite a bit in common with last year’s Supernatural release by Santana. In both cases you have a guitar legend, who is an almost undisputed originator of his musical genre.

Queen - Jazz (vinyl)
Review by Gary Hill
This 1978 release from Queen, still has a very classic sound, but they were experimenting with some new directions. It had several hits, and also quite a bit of meaty music.

Queen - Live at the Rainbow 74 BluRay
Review by G. W. Hill

I love Queen. I wasn’t crazy about some of the music they did later in their career when they seemed to focus more on pop ditties than rock music, but overall, they were always a very talented band.

Queen - The Making of A Night At The Opera DVD
Review by Gary Hill

When it comes to classic albums of the 1970's it seems that Queen's A Night At The Opera should be on most people's short list. Therefore it seems very appropriate that Eagle Vision created this DVD documenting the making of the album. This is a pretty impressive set just packed with stuff.

Carmine Appice - Ultimate Guitar Zeus
Review by Gary Hill
An album like this could be a tricky venture. Essentially the concept is a series of songs with the same basic core band.

Queen - Under Review 1946-1991 Queen: The Freddie Mercury Story DVD
Review by Gary Hill
Freddie Mercury is certainly a legend of music – and while many legends didn’t have talent that really warranted their status, Mercury had it in spades. That made Queen a diamond in the club of rock and roll elite and endeared them to the hearts of many.
