The Works (1984)

Queen’s eleventh studio album, The Works, marked a triumphant return to rock energy after their electronic-driven Hot Space. Released in February 1984, it blends hard-hitting stadium anthems with radio-friendly hits like “Radio Ga Ga” and “I Want to Break Free”. The record re-established the band’s global dominance in the mid-80s, showcasing a balance of power riffs, pop sensibilities, and Freddie Mercury’s commanding presence.
