Their legacy, celebrated through several tribute acts and the successful biographical film "Bohemian Rhapsody," has ensured that Queen remains a pivotal influence in rock music today.

Released in 1977 as part of the album "News of the World," this track has become a rock anthem, synonymous with stadium crowds and sporting events. Known for its powerful stomp-stomp-clap beat, the song achieved tremendous acclaim, reaching the top of charts around the world. "We Will Rock You" serves not just as a song but as a sonic experience that brings people together.
