The fourteen songs on "The Cosmos Rocks" were written and recorded by original Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor, who were joined by former Free and Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers.

Formed in 1968, Queen supported Jimi Hendrix and Genesis early in their career, before going on to become one of the world's biggest rock groups. Their anthem "Bohemian Rhapsody" was a masterpiece in production, and remains a rock radio staple.
