πΆ In 1977, Queen released a new album called News of the World. ππ During this time, punk rock was growing in popularity while Queenβs progressive rock style, with multitrack vocals and symphonic elements, was losing favor. π In response to this trend, the band decided to produce a simpler, hard rock album. π₯πΈ The result was a completely new sound for Queen, with songs full of simple melodies and rhythms for crowds to participate in. ππββοΈ
While the album initially received mixed reviews, ββ
two of its tracks would go on to become some of the greatest rock anthems of our time: βWe Will Rock Youβ and βWe Are the Champions.β ππ
