SirGH: Of course people are going to disagree with you. The people who disagree with you are most likely disagreeing because they think they wouldn't sound like a "real" queen fan if they say one of their most overplayed songs in their greatest. However, you can't argue the fact that it is their best work and that is saying a lot because most of their songs with were genius. Bohemian Rhapsody might not just be Queen's greatest song but the greatest song ever written.

The ultimate Queen song is the Rhapsody of the Bohemian.

Yeah, exactly. But Queen is a rare breed in the sense that their best known work (A Night At The Opera, and particularly BoRhap) is actually their best work. Artists more often than not are remembered for a song or album that was popular, but not necessarily their best.

My "favourite" Queen song keeps on changing, but I guess Bohemian Rhapsody definitely takes the crown for the "Ultimate" Queen song.
Its actually not very common here in Nepal, everyone has heard WWRY, most have heard Break Free, Show Must Go On, many have heard Champions, but Bo Rhap isn't very common here.

This. It's late is a classic. I can also include White Queen (the live versions or the BBC version) and of course Bo Rhap.

is bo rap considered the ultimate queen song because?. many people who vote for greatest songs are general public,people who dont know the queen collection.. say i voted for pink floyds another brick as the ultimate song,,but never having heard money etc.. so of course bo rap will be the public ultimate song......but they have never heard its late..

It's late was a single and failed to chart. Great rock song, but don't ever compare Bo Rhaps originality and creative genious with a basic (even if it does kick ass) rock song like it's late. that's not taking anything away from it's late, Love the song, but it's not as original sounding as a lot of other songs Queen did, including Bo Rhap.

To show off how great of a rock band Queen were it would be It's Late. But to show how amazing queen were as a whole, it would be either bohemian rhapsody or innuendo. I also would show some stuff on hot space to show how versatile they were

I think that We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions are the most overplayed Queen songs. They always play them on the radio stations where I live. They play Bohemian Rhapsody a lot but nowhere near as much as WWRY/WATC or even Another One Bites The Dust.
