''A Kind Of Magic'' is the 12th studio album by the British rock band Music/{{Queen}}, released in 1986. It is considered [[CultSoundtrack an unofficial soundtrack album]] to the 1986 movie ''Film/{{Highlander}}'', with only three songs -- "Pain Is So Close To Pleasure", "Friends Will Be Friends", and "One Vision" -- not appearing in the film. ("One Vision" was previously released in 1985 and had also appeared in the 1986 movie ''Film/IronEagle''.) This album would be the last one promoted with a tour, because of Freddie Mercury's diagnosis with HIV the following year, leading to his death in 1991.

* LyricalDissonance: "One Vision" is an upbeat, inspirational song mostly about UsefulNotes/MartinLutherKingJr It was covered by Laibach, who rendered it as a German-language faux-Nazi song. Critics at the time had sometimes equated Queen with fascism, due to the hold Freddie had over the audience coming as one and the critics' dismissal of the kind of arena rock Queen did so well.
