24 #QueenAreTheChampions day 6️⃣
Back from being sick and "I am in the stadium", methaporically speaking.
I called day 6 "I am in the stadium" because the bonus album "On Fire" is really a great live stadium album, and the next album on the agenda is very much stadium rock.
Now @buffyleigh made the observation that they have some few industrial songs in their catalogue. I never realized this, but it's very true.
One song which is almost industrial-pop is the opener of their grand 1984 album. I love the video, where our champions drive/fly through Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

Another party's over
And I'm left cold sober
My baby left me for somebody new
I don't wanna talk about it
Want to forget about it
Wanna be intoxicated with that special brewMy Melancholy Blues is a deeply personal song by Freddie.

Revisiting "News of the World" I realize that this might be their most straight forward no nonsense rock album yet.
My favourite track is Spread Your Wings.
This song was the first track on a Queen tape me and my brother had when we were little, and I can still remember the white noise of the tape before the song hits. And I loved and still love Freddie's on this song.🎵 Spread Your Wings

Champions of Jazz
News of the World starts with 2 fairly well known song.
As a little kid I was terrified of the album cover. My cousins (who had all the vinyls) chased me around the house with it.
Fun fact for Metalheads: Judas Priest desperetly wanted to create their own version of "We Will Rock You" and made "Take on the World". I love JP, but that's not even close.
On another note, my son is really into dinosaurs lately. And everytime we read a book or look at dinosaur pictures, I can't help but think of this tune 👇
