Oh Freddie Mercury, what would music be like if you were still kicking around today? From 1973 to 1978, Queen released a total of eight brilliant albums. Not all songs were gems but within that time frame we the public were given such classic songs like Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, Fat Bottom Girls, You're My Best Friend, We Are The Champions, We Will Rock You, the list goes on really. But there is one album within that time span that's my favorite, and quite possibly the most underrated, which would be 'Jazz' that was released in 1978. This throwback Thursday, I'll take you through track by track Queen's Jazz album.

“Mustapha:” This song consists of about six words with mostly ‘Mustapha’ being the operative word. It’s a weird mix of what …show more content…

It is the best song on the album and I think it’s one of Queen’s top songs in general. If you’re ready to party, you need to throw this song on and get your friends all riled up. Mercury starts the song off slow with just his voice until he gets to the chorus and the upbeat piano makes it the perfect pump up song. I dare you to turn this song on and not sing along. Best line: “I am a satellite, I’m out of control / I’m a sex machine ready to reload / Like an atom bomb about to oh oh oh oh oh explode.”

“More of That Jazz:” And now we come to the final track on the Jazz album. It’s a pretty dark and gritty song to choose to end the album but I like it. The most random part is that the song finishes off with a compilation of one liners from other different tracks on the album. It’s definitely a funky, trippy way to finish an album but I dig it. Best line: “Lie on the floor / Kinda thinking I’ve heard that line before.”

Overall this album was imperative to Queen’s overall successes. It has three of the most famous songs they have on one track listing. Rolling Stones famously ripped this album apart as “facist” and referred to the members of Queen as “creeps” but I would have to disagree. ‘Jazz’ might not be the greatest album of all time but it definitely has songs that have influenced the music industry. God I miss Freddie
