Every Queen Album Ranked Worst To Best
11. A Day At The Races
5th studio album (1976); UK #1; US #5
How do you follow up on your biggest commercial success yet? Apparently, by recreating it, if A Day At The Races is any indication. In fact, the successor to A Night At The Opera seems to not only retread that album, but all of Queen's previous ones. Still, being the enjoyable record that it is, it becomes the prototype for 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.' Besides, Queen had already put out a double record with their self-titled debuts, so they were no strangers to the concept of a one-two punch. And any album that gives us an epic like Somebody To Love is worth a listen.
Key Tracks: You and I; Somebody To Love; Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)
Fun Fact: Freddie originally wrote Somebody To Love for another queen, the one and only Aretha Franklin.
