With "Sheer Heart Attack," Queen upended what was possible in rock: melodic, anarchic, utterly original. We mark its 50th.

Queen were in a sort-of transition by the time of their 1981 Montreal concert. A newly-released film captures the electricity.

Back in the day, many rock bands experimented with dance beats. Most failed. Queen didn't, even if "Hot Space" didn't sell. It's time to re-consider.
