約二十首皇后樂隊的勁曲
“a score of” 是二十/约二十，恐怕并不是“众多” ，见《牛津雙解字典》。“scores of” 才是 “众多”。
Queens 是乐队名字，七十年代英国摇滚乐团，近年还发行专辑，在伦敦奥运闭幕礼演出，见下列乐队网页：
http://www.queenonline.com/
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/皇后乐队
killer ＝excellent, outstanding， awesome，并不是经典。
经典是classic，与现代用语 killer 有一点点差别。见城市字典：

原文是宣传文章，目的想吸引更多观众买票 ”so book your tickets now", 去看描述有关 Queen 乐队的 “We Will Rock You" 的音乐剧。译成 ”劲曲“正好配合 Queen 的摇滚乐 rock music 的特色。个人觉得只形容为 ”精彩“，就显得有一点平凡了。何况，我自己在伦敦曾经亲自购票去看了这个著名的音乐剧，Queen 在一个多钟头的摇滚音乐剧的表演，观众看得如痴如醉，只能够用 “劲”来形容才贴切。

a score of killer Queen tunes
二十几首精彩的“皇后乐队”的曲子
注意：原文是小写k、大写Q，这说明killer（精彩的事物）只是作普通名词修饰Queen（皇后乐队）的曲子

还设想过a score of killer 是不是指排行榜杀手……
Queen乐队写过很多歌，其中包括Killer Queen，这里多半是用这个歌名来指代这个乐队。
经查询，Radio Ga Ga, I Want to Break Free均出自The Works这部专辑。
"Killer Queen"/"Flick of the Wrist" ·"Now I'm Here" ·"Lily of the Valley" 出自Sheer Heart Attack 这部专辑。
而 "Killer Queen"/"Flick of the Wrist" ·"Now I'm Here" ·"Lily of the Valley" 均出自Sheer Heart Attack这部专辑。
可见killer Queen应该不是专辑名称。
Wallace Gu认为killer是修饰tunes的，这个解释很合理。
