[Review] Queen: News of the World (1977)
Have you heard the News? Queen has returned and they want their crown back.

Years before Joe Jackson’s Denson shoes hit the streets, we had Graham Parker’s “Soul Shoes” to keep our toes tapping.
The band’s greatest hits, but not a particularly good album.
Their second album delivers more of the same wigged-out genius, but you’ve haired it all before.
The last single before Boy was delivered, this one remained a concert favorite for years.
After parting with Parsons, the Burritos recruit Rick Roberts and release a fine album of mellow rock with Byrdsian overtones.
A more ambitious and eclectic album of electric blues/soul/jazz, now featuring horns.
Tony Sheridan and some fab fellows named The Beat Brothers rock out to a 19th century Scottish folk tune.
The band’s second album manages to be both lighter and heavier than their first. And also, magnificenter.
The last (and the most enjoyable) of the pair’s early, experimental albums.
An early single from a true original, this became a minor hit when it was re-released at the end of 1980.
You can literally hear psychedelic rock morph into progressive rock on this classic debut from The Nice.
The band’s third album has a sunnier disposition than the first two, at least some of the time.
Mary Wells’ “My Guy” was a fantasy, but Madness’ “My Girl” hits a lot closer to reality.
