* EpicRiff: The stomp-stomp-clap percussion section for "We Will Rock You" is so well-known that it frequently eclipses recognition of Queen themselves in many circles. There's a reason this song is still played at sport stadiums all across the world. Music/{{Slash|Musician}} declared the EpicRiff of "Fight From The Inside" one of his favourite riffs of all time.

* SignatureSong: The duumvirate of "We Will Rock You"/"We Are the Champions" stands as the most famous songs from the album and two of Queen's best-known songs overall, thanks to their easy-to-learn nature (especially "We Will Rock You") and their status as sports staples.

* GeniusBonus: In [[http://www.npr.org/2010/08/03/128935865/queens-brian-may-rocks-out-to-physics-photography an interview with NPR]] Music/BrianMay discussed the iconic "stomp stomp clap" intro for "We Will Rock You." The band recorded a few people stomping/clapping, then Brian overdubbed multiple times, with time delays of prime numbers so that the stomping would not harmonize. The results, a sound that sounds like a stadium stomping the intro, despite only being a few people. Ladies and Gentlemen, ''math rocks.''
