Queen
Queen is a British rock band formed in London in 1971. They have been my favorite band since Middle School. The first album I ever bought was Sheer Heart Attack, and I have since purchase every single one of their studio albums and a whole bunch of live and compilation discs.
I never bothered listening to very much music in my teen years, so I only knew of two Queen songs, Bohemian Rhapsody and Killer Queen. While riding in a car with my mother one day, we heard Killer Queen on the radio, and this caused her to buy the pink-covered Queen's Greatest Hits CD. This was a catalyst for my addiction to Queen, and for a good portion of my teen years, I listened to Queen almost exclusively. I next got the blue Greatest Hits album as a gift, and then Sheer Heart Attack.

Both Brian and Roger still play and produce music with the name Queen+. I saw Queen play live with Adam Lambert on 2014-06-19, and it was one of the more poignant moments of my life.
