Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #425-Kings, Queens, Faries, and Ogres!

In the early 1970s, a band from the UK slowly started to take the music world by storm. This week we look at their first two album releases: Queen and Queen II; and how the albums create a loose anthology of stories, along with letting the world hear the famous Queen sound right from the start. Plus some news, your feedback, and Rachel's recap of InConJunction 42.
