Queen - News of the World


Maybe the first true masters of "arena rock", Queen was MASSIVE in 1977 when "News of the World" came out. "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" still live as the most pulse pounding, adrenaline producing rock anthems ever recorded. A couple quiet songs from this album I also loved, "All Dead" and "Who Needs You".

The album art always puzzled me. Did the giant robot just find the band dead? Or did it accidentally murder them by playing with them like Barbie dolls? There's surely a look of regret on it's face in either case.
