Queen for Kids

Queen is definitely one of the first bands that come to our mind when it comes to the most influential artists of the 80's, and even of all time. No one has mixed heavy rock music with glam looks and opera-like theatrics like they have!

 

 

Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor revolutionized rock music by introducing new sounds, song structures, visuals and concepts. They drew influence from The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and many other British rock acts, but Freddie also admired soul singers like Aretha Franklin and musical theater. The thing about Queen is that they could be a pop band one day, or a full-blown metal band the next!

Queen liked to challenge the "rules" of what rock music should be and they liked to do things their own way, and doing this they've inspired countless of people. But what is most impressive is the diversity of artists they've influenced: from Metallica to Lady GaGa; from Adele to Lil Nas X; from BTS to Radiohead. And many more!

It's time for our little ones to get to know about this timeless band. Not only they challenged the music industry, they challenged society's standards and expectations as well.
