Queen's Flash Gordon is one of the strangest, boldest, and most fascinating albums in the band's catalogue.

Part film soundtrack, part rock opera, part comic-book fantasy, it captures Queen at a moment of transformation. Released in 1980, the same year as The Game, the album found Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon stepping into the world of cinema, synthesizers, science fiction, and pulp adventure. What could have been a simple soundtrack became something unmistakably Queen: theatrical, dramatic, funny, heroic, excessive, and completely unique.
