"I hate it when people try to pretend that art can be judged objectively. It just doesn't work"
I reckon it can. Most counterarguments tend to be subjective anyway (ie. 'how can you say that? I LOVE this song!').
You can easily make objective statements about a piece of 'art'. "The drums go out of time here", or "the singer was slightly flat there". The subjective part is - do you have an individual preference concerning those quirks in the recording? I love it when Bonzo lags behind the beat in Black Dog. It's fucking KICKING. Not many bands would put out a recording with that kind of swagger these days. It's so far off the tempo that there's probably a lot of people who simply think it's a crap recording that should've been redone, but these people are also known as cunts.
To clarify the difference -
Bonham plays noticeably out of tempo in one or two spots of the song = objective.
It rocks = subjective.

the thing that kinda “swing”. You have to forgive me, though. It was important for my further enlightenment in The Queen universe. For example, I see Roger in whole new light now :-D
Sure that God Save the Queen is the best song. At first, it’s the best song by default; why should people stand up hearing it otherwise? At second… the arraignment is just up to the occasion!

I'm not asking what your favourite song is, i'm asking what is the best song by Queen in your opinion?
Explain why?
