Mashable - Bohemian Rhapsody
Invariably over the Christmas and New Year period, various "all time top twenty" charts are issued, and fairly invariably, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is fairly near to the top of the chart.
There was some good music about in 1975. Living in a London bedsitter as I was at the time, I was entertained by neighbouring bedsit-dwellers who played 10CC constantly. But "Bohemian Rhapsody" was something different. It was unlike anything that we'd heard before - far more comprehensive than 1968's "America" by The Nice. It certainly has staying power, and rightly so. You've now every chance to become the knowledgeable one in your group about this amazing work, thanks to "MashableUK" and Tim Chester at : http://mashable.com/2015/10/30/queen...hapsody-facts/ Have you any good memories about the track ? Wishing you a great Christmas ! Phil |

Roy Thomas Baker said it ran for 7 minutes and unless my CD player is running fast, it's about 5.50. So unless they were exaggerating, there is a longer version somewhere.
It's still the only single to be number one in the UK in four different years AFAIK. I always understood the Cowboy Song to be Another One Bites the Dust, and Freddie wrote Crazy Little Thing called Love while in bed. I didn't know Bo Rap was as well. |

It's interesting that people are saying there was so much good music in the mid-'70s, because the music histories have tended to write that it was a really bad time for music and everything needed a shake-up, which we're told is why punk happened.
