Queen Deep Dive: Listen to me baby, let me tell you what it's all about..."Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll"

For the first time, Roger Taylor takes the helm as songwriter and lead singer on a Queen track with "Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll". It's appropriately rowdy, a big riot, and a lot of fun. There's no seriousness here; unless you're simply serious about your love for rock and roll. (Excuse me; rock 'n' roll.) The studio recording bursts quickly in less than two minutes, but live recordings and performances extend the excitement, with Rog having the best time in the world. Find out some fun facts about this short and sturdy number and don't forget to check out the slower, grittier BBC recording from '74.
