Ryan, Gavin (2011). Australia's Music Charts 1988–2010 (PDFed.). Mt Martha, Victoria, Australia: Moonlight Publishing. p.227.Queen sentiment seems to be extremely high these days, but it usually is. I’m not a massive Queen fan by any means, but there’s no denying the greatness of most of these songs. Unfortunately, I don’t love a lot of Queen’s deeper cuts as much as I should. This also seems to be another case of a band ruined by the radio for me growing up. I could go without hearing some of these for a long time. In both cases, there is one important thing: The compilation album should not contain songs to be skipped. If something is advertised as a selection of the most memorable tunes, no ‘skip songs’ are allowed.

For a generation of fans too young to have experienced the band's 70s' output first time round, Greatest Hits was their way into the band. For those people, the fade on Don't Stop Me Now will forever be followed by Freddie on the piano as Save Me gathers momentum, rather than as the original was presented, with Roger Taylor's thumping introduction to More Of That Jazz.
