Albums no self-respecting gentlemen should own #19 – Queen – Greatest hits

Greatest Hits is a pisspoor compilation album by the British pomp rock band Queen, released worldwide on 26 October 1981. The album consisted of Queen's biggest hits since their first chart appearance in 1974 with "Seven Seas of Rhye", up to their 1980 hit "Flash".
