Bohemian rhapsody sucks. It’s like one of the worst Queen songs. Thank you, that is all. Best 60s car for your time.

Before this discussion becomes a massive flame war, what do you rank as your top 3 Queen songs?

I agree. Definitely over rated. It's a very decent song, but not what it's cracked up to be

Killer queen

Killer queen

Uhm... fat bottomed girls? Ironically I like all the songs a gay guy sung about girls.

(Full disclosure: I like almost all queen, but I’ve been seeing a lot of bohemian rhapsody memes and I don’t really like the song. TLDR; I don’t get it.)

Hammer to Fall, & Princes of the Universe are far better. I love Queens later music, over their early music.

Killer queen is the best no doubt

I like queen. Most of it. But I just don’t get bohemian rhapsody. No good chorus, nothing particularly memorable about the song. Well, other than “easy come, easy go” or “I’m just a poor boy from a poor family".

Very interesting choices. I’d have to say mine are:

Sheer Heart Attack

39

Flash Gordon Theme (The fact they did the soundtrack in the first place gives the movie legendary status)

Killer Queen is great but Bohemian Rhapsody is something else. You’re wrong.

Unpopular opinion: I think Queen are completely overrated and aren’t really that good.

The best part about Bohemian Rhapsody is Wayne's World.

I disagree, but I think I like “Who Wants to Live Forever?” or whatever it is more.

Nothing memorable about it!? Then explain how almost everyone over the age of 15 knows most of the words (or what they think are the words)! lol

I’m with ya.

I’d put it up there with Stairway To Heaven on the overrated song list.

Conversely: the worst part about Wayne’s World is Bohemian Rhapsody.

The best?

I agree it’s objectively bad, but it’s also been wildly overplayed for decades. Familiarity breeds contempt & all that. But is it truly worse than this?

I was 10 when “The Game” album came out, and thought it was the shit.

It’s a terrible album, as were many of the other things 10 y.o. me thought were the shit.

But I’ll fight you if you talk shit about Crazy Little Thing Called Love. It may not be peak Queen, but it’s fun.

Oooooh. Another good one. I’ve got led Zeppelin III around here somewhere. One of the few albums I physically have.

*sigh* the repercussions of being born in the wrong era.

THANK YOU! In addition to Stairway, please see also:

Billy Joel: everything (or at least Piano Man, and Captain Jack)

Don McLean: American Pie

Eagles: Life in the Fast Lane, Hotel California

Bob Seger: Old Time Rock & Roll

Steve Miller Band: all of “Greatest Hits”

Bob Dylan: Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (“everybody must get stoned”)

Arlo Guthrie: Alice’s Restaurant

You’re talking about the rapper right? I think we must be around the same age then. I liked him too until about age 17. Oh boy.. bad childhood memories.

(Queen’s “The Game” album came out in 1980. I was 10. Math it up.)

On a serious note, I think ‘39 is probably their most interesting song lyrically and conceptually.

Birddog > Dead_Elvis, Inc. 08/27/2016 at 03:02

HA! I was trying to think of songs that annoy me. You pretty much hit the nail on the head.

I’d add almost anything from the Grateful Dead, Meatloaf and Jimmy Buffett.

Get out of my head, man!

But yeah, you absolutely nailed it with those three.

I’m happy you qualified Steve Miller with “Greatest Hits”.

His cover of Your Cash Aint Nothin But Trash is awesome!

Bob Marley: Legend

Heard way the hell too much of it in college, accompanying rounds of hacky sack by trustifarians & proto-dudebros in the late ‘80s.

EDIT: That particular Steve Miller tune needs posting.

Have some smokin’ white boy boogie!

I usually find that hits generally aren't as good as some of the rest of the album. If they are, then the album usually sucks. Bohemian rhapsody is the kind of song that gets worse the more you listen to it.
