“I thought when we went into News Of The World, we couldn’t reinvent ourselves as a punk band, but we wanted it a little bit more simple. Of course, we thought these really grandiose things weren’t really quite what was happening then. To be more of the time, I guess we made a more straightforward record.” — Roger Taylor

“When they dug in to do something mean or hard, they could do it better than anybody. News Of The World has ‘Fight From The Inside’, one of my favorite Queen songs, and also the brilliant 'Get Down Make Love’. This is just my favorite end-to-end Queen record.” — Slash

“I don’t know why this isn’t regarded as real classic – one of Queen’s best albums. For me it certainly is. But perhaps we’ve gotten so used to 'We Will Rock You’ and 'We Are The Champions’ that we take them for granted, and therefore we also take the album for granted.” — Taylor Hawkins

Happy birthday, Roger Meddows Taylor!
