Sheer Heart Attack — 1974

The album where Queen found their range, balancing heavy rock with ornate pop and proving they were more than a hard-rock act. Tight and inventive. An early peak. The debut or early record that set the template.

On vinyl: Well-pressed originals still surface at reasonable prices; modern reissues are a safe bet if you want new.
