I've been listening to Queen for as long as I can remember. In fact, I was probably listening to them when I was still in the womb. They are a favorite in my family and many days of my childhood included my mom blasting their music in the car and at home. Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most brilliant rock songs ever written. I love the operatic nature of the song, with its changing tempo and lyrics that tell a story of tragedy and regret. Freddie Mercury was an amazing artist and singer who was gone far too soon. But he left a huge musical legacy behind, a legacy which I will always cherish.

There were a lot of songs that Queen did that rocked a great deal though, and several that don't get a lot of air play anymore.
A fantastic band. Thanks for posting this.
I'd have to say my favorite Queen song is Play The Game, which was popular in the summer of 1980 - right before my senior year in high school.
I have listed to a Queen song at every hockey game my kids played in.
rated with a hug and we will rock you

leslie - i wore out several tapes. and my sister and i found this import version of greatest hits in paris that had some songs the us version didn't. so sad when that tape finally died. we still have a lot of their lps!
linda - there seems to be something in each generation that brings Queen back into the limelight. the band isn't the same without Freddie.
buffy - you are indeed the champion! our dog is a big queen fan too.
I LOVE this song - my goodness, how could you not?? It makes me happy just hearing the beginning of this song.
