Deacon: vocal on Modern Times Rock & Roll
Note for #12: This is a complete re-make of "Keep Yourself Alive." This version never surfaced anywhere. It contains many new ideas and quirks, as well as reproductions of some of the old ones. --Brian May
Notes: Queen's first album is one of their best. Taylor's vocals on Modern Times Rock N Roll aren't so hot. Mercury & May are right on musically. There isn't a lot of experimentation on this album; it's more straight-ahead rock. The Hollywood re-issue (1991) has an unreleased song, Mad the Swine, and it's pretty good. Very typical of later Mercury songs. Doing All Right is one of few songs to be co-written by a non-member, in this case Timothy Staffel, who played with May before Queen.
