Shove It was the first album released by The Cross, founded by Queen drummer Roger Taylor. This album contains a mix of rock with dance influences.

History

Originally, Roger Taylor was planning to release another solo album, but eventually he decided to form a band named The Cross and released it as a Cross album.However the album was almost completed and this explains why the other band members had virtually no input on the record.What's so special about this album is that fellow Queen members Freddie Mercury (singing lead vocals on "Heaven for Everyone") [http://www.queenvault.com/freddieplus.html] , Brian May (playing lead guitar on "Love Lies Bleeding") [http://www.queenvault.com/brianplus.html] and John Deacon (playing bass on a few tracks)Fact|date=September 2008 collaborated with Taylor on the album.

Reception

The album was poorly received by fans and critics and hit the bottom of the charts (it peaked at 58 at the UK charts). After only two weeks it dropped from the charts. In the US it even failed to chart at all.
