"We Will Rock You" is a song written by Brian May and recorded and performed by Queen for their 1977 album News of the World. Rolling Stone ranked it number 330 of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2004, and the RIAA placed it at number 146 on its list of Songs of the Century. In 2009, "We Will Rock You" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Other than the
last 30 seconds containing a guitar solo by May, the song is generally set in a
cappella form, using only stomping and clapping as a rhythmic beat. In 1977,
"We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" were issued
together as a worldwide top ten single. The two songs are often played back to
back on many classic rock radio stations without announcer interruption. The
vocals for both songs were performed by Freddie Mercury.
When performed
live, this version is usually followed by "We Are the Champions",
another of the album's hits, as they were designed to run together. The songs
are often paired on the radio and at sporting events, where they are frequently
played. They were the last two songs Queen performed at Live Aid in 1985. The
songs are also paired back to back on the album, and they are still played together
to this day on American classic rock radio stations.
