Queen

Freddie Mercury’s over-the-top vocals and soulful lyrics made Queen a pioneer of the rock movement. On 10 November 2014 their new compilation album Queen Forever which includes original tracks and vocals by late lead singer Mercury will be due for release.

Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd’s last album The Division Bell released in 1994 was the seed for their latest album. Releasing on 7 November, The Endless River includes 20 hours worth of unreleased material all written by the band. What a treat!

Why we’re waiting: In 1980, ‘The Wall’ spent 15 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard. We expect their next album to break more such records.
