Queen – Jazz

Queen was aware that the anthems on News Of The World would be hard to top, and decided that a return to a more eclectic approach would be the way to go. Hence perhaps the title Jazz, which could have been commercial suicide or downright misleading. Either way, Queen were so popular by now that they could have come up with pretty much anything as a title for a seventh record - their ever-so-slightly jokey handle (the antithesis of anything punk or new wave) was seen as spot on . But the last thing you'll find on Jazz is jazz.
