Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott has singled out Queen’s 1974 song ‘Now I’m Here’ as one of the greatest rock songs ever written, describing it as “an amazing record”. His praise underlines the song’s lasting influence and Queen’s reputation for combining ambitious songwriting with a distinctive hard-rock sound.

‘Now I’m Here’, written by guitarist Brian May, appeared on Queen’s third album, *Sheer Heart Attack*, and was released as a single in 1975. Elliott highlighted the album’s variety and personality, arguing that its stylistic range made it feel as though several different bands had contributed to it.
