Electric Fire is the fourth solo album by Roger Taylor (of the band Queen), released in 1998. It features a cover of John Lennon's song "Working Class Hero". The album came not long before Taylor's performance at Cyber Barn in the same year. Following the gloomy album Happiness? , Electric Fire also included gloomy elements but was, on the whole, a bit more bright.
