I'd like to see that song in a movie that treats it with a more serious reverence, as opposed to a cheap gag. The melodrama of 'Death on Two Legs' is such a fun way to start off the album the cheekiness of 'Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon' & 'Seaside Rendezvous' are great little intermissions (I put those tracks on many mixed cassette tapes as a teenager, for just that reason) 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is so.well, epic, that it survived that whole Wayne's World pop culture moment without a scratch. I listened to 'The Prophet's Song' on my Sony walkman many years ago, & the technical aspects of the song blew my mind it should be corny all this time later, but Freddie Mercury's amazing voice & that distinctive Queen harmony that make it still very enjoyable. My music appreciation started in the '80s, & I've come to loathe how the focus on 'hits' & 'singles' largely destroyed the art of the music album during that decade.Īnyway, News of the World is my favorite Queen album, but I feel like there are probably 6 or 7 of their other albums that are a close second, & A Night at the Opera is certainly one of them. Like most of Queen's catalog, it's such a full album.
