Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, we revisit Queen’s 1986 album A Kind of Magic, a record filled with arena-sized rock, dramatic ballads, and songs forever connected to the fantasy film Highlander. We break down the album track by track, from the driving power of “One Vision” and “Princes of the Universe” to the unforgettable title track and the emotional “Who Wants to Live Forever.” Where does A Kind of Magic rank in Queen’s legendary catalog, and how well does it hold up nearly four decades later? Join us as we put the album back on the turntable and find out.
