Monday Metal

Queen: A Kind of Magic.

In Radio-Ga-Ga Freddy Mercury sings about radio being his 'only friend through teenage nights'.

Well in a senior year filled with disappointment and pain A Kind of Magic was our friend. Twenty-five years on it still is.

First the lead song, the theme song for Iron Eagle:


A call to arms if we ever heard one.

Not until we were much older did we get into earlier Queen, so for a good portion of our life we thought of them as a hard rock-metal band. Between the Wayne's World moment and albums like A Kind of Magic one can see why.

For Gen-X sci-fi geeks, A Kind of Magic is more properly called Highlander, as  half the songs were in the 1985 film.

To this day we get chills from this one:

Fuck yeah.

Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, swords....

Here's another great one:

Great solo and some nice harmonies:



A Kind of Magic, for us it has always beem
