The Game

Queen · Rock/Pop

Recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich with new co-producer Reinhold Mack and marking Queen's first use of a synthesizer (the Oberheim OB-X), The Game became the band's only US #1 album, driven by John Deacon's disco-funk bassline on 'Another One Bites the Dust' and Freddie Mercury's rockabilly homage 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love.'
