Bohemian Rhapsody - Greatest Epic Song EVER

[LynneSin]

It tells a story, has some opera and then rocks it out at the very end. Can anyone deny that Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the greatest epic songs of ALL TIME



Oddly enough, I know all the words to the song including the operatic middle section

1. the best part

"the RAWK OUT" transition.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. WRONG!

[LynneSin]

3. What the f**k do you know about anything - other than nothing

So there!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. I know plenty of shit!

[LynneSin]

5. You may know shit but that's all you know - is shit

So there!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. What. The. Fuck. Ever.

[LynneSin]

11. NO! YOU! SUCK! AND! YOU! KNOW! IT! NOTOUCHBACKS!!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. NOTOUCHBACKS?!?!? WTF DOES THAT MEAN?

And I don't even want to think about what you suck!

So there!

[LynneSin]

14. NOTOUCHBACKS MEANS YOU CAN'T RETURN BACK TO ME

Haven't you played IT in elementary school?

So There!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. No. Apparently, my childhood was lacking in more ways than I thought.

:cry:

[LynneSin]

20. Sweetie, perhaps your people called it "Tag"

We just happen to call it "It" because no one wanted to be "It"

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. Oh yeah, "Tag"...

I played tag. We didn't have that pussy no touchbacks rule though.

[LynneSin]

43. TAG YOU"RE IT

So there!

[GalleryGod]

When I am King, you will be first against the wall.

[LynneSin]

8. That has to be one of my favorite Radiohead songs

but still doesn't touch Bohemiam Rhapsody

[Ariana Celeste]

35. been awhile since i saw that video

:thumbsup:

[XNASA]

36. I can't believe it's nearly 10 years old now.

But it is.

[TommyO]

12. Nope!

It was actually Renaissance's Song of Scheherazade! 24 minutes and 39 seconds of pure magic.

[LisaM]

16. Funny - I've been listening to old Queen lately

To my mind, the first three albums are the best. "A Night at the Opera" was a turning point for them - a downward turn.

For epic rock, though, I think I have to go with Led Zeppelin.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. See, unfortunately, LynneSin absolutely loates Zeppelin. So, she's probably

never heard the song you're referring to.

[LynneSin]

19. I just took you out of my will

You're not getting my Toyota Corolla EVER!!!

[Midlodemocrat]

24. Meanypants.

:cry:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

25. Damn, Midlo will miss that shiny quarter she could trade it in for.

:hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

26. Oh, SNAP!

:hide:

[LynneSin]

28. Well it's at least twenty cents more than what we could get for your car

:evilgrin:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

29. I have a QUALITY FREEPER MOBILE!

Plus my sweet, sweet Saab...

[LynneSin]

18. Queen is #2 on my list - I stop at Jazz though for Queen albums

I love Jazz. News to the World was ok, but Jazz is probably my favorite Queen album, closely followed by Night at the Opera and then Day at the Races

[LisaM]

21. Not "Sheer Heart Attack"?

I love the song Killer Queen. Just love it.

[LynneSin]

22. I'm ok with Sheer Heart Attack - I don't go to that as often as the others

But it does have some good songs on it!

[PVnRT]

27. Wrong

Iron Maiden PWNS Queen

[tigereye]

30. nah

it's gotta be Meatloaf.

[cemaphonic]

31. The most convoluted novelty song of all time.

I read this characterization somewhere, and can't really disagree, but it's hard not to love it anyway.

Annoyingly, I spent forever looking for it on CD during a time when all the Queen albums were being remastered and reissued, and nobody had any of them in stock. I finally got the reissue of Night at the Opera and two months later Wayne's World came out and you couldn't swing a dead cat without hearing that song.

Did you know that Freddie Mercury was a Parsi and was born in Zanzibar?

[merh]

32. This thread is useless without the link to the song/video!

:smoke:

[BreweryYardRat]

33. I much prefer metal for epic songs.

Iron Savior or Savatage beat Queen hands down.

[SeattleGirl]

34. Aboslutely agree with you, LynneSin!

:bounce:

[Bake]

37. What?! No "Paradise by the Dashboard Light??????"

Now THAT is an epic song. If you go for that sort of thing....

Bake

[ET Awful]

38. I give you

39. Brian May is such an awesome guitarist

Really underrated I guess with a presense like Freddie Mercury in the band

[evlbstrd]

42. Frank Zappa admired his playing.

How's that?

[ghostsofgiants]

40. The Mars Volta's "Cassandra Geminni" gets my vote.

I never thought a 30 minute song would ever exist that wouldn't bore the shit out of me.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

44. You've never heard of Yes have you?

:)

[enigmatic]

45. "Good Morning Captain"- Slint

Nothing better.
