I,too,am a little burned out on BoRhap. It is one of the four Queen songs that are always played on the radio around here. (South Bend/Mishawaka,Indiana) The others are "Fat Bottomed Girls", "We Will Rock You", and "We Are The Champions". It is also hard for Elvis fans, as the only songs that get consistent airplay are; "Love Me Tender", "Jailhouse Rock", "Teddy Bear", "Can't Help Falling In Love", "Are You Lonesome Tonight", and "Suspicious Minds". The man recorded over 400 songs, how about playing more than 5 or 6? All the radio stations around here are run by conglomerates that probably have some research department that tries to figure out the handful of songs by each artist to run into the ground. It is like they have a greatest hits album by each artist and then play only 4 or 5 songs from each one. Some other songs that need to be put in a time capsule for about 5 years;
anything by Creedence Clearwater Revival
anything by Steve Miller
"Rock and Roll" and "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin
"Sympathy for the Devil", and "Gimme Shelter" by Rolling Stones
the entire first album by Boston
BOTH versions of "Lean on Me"
Again, I do not necessarily HATE these songs, I just want to hear OTHER songs once in a while.
Speaking of Elvis, we also need to put those Alfred Wertheimer photos to bed for a generation. Those are the same twelve or thirteen black and white photos you always see and the same ones that get reshuffled and put out on a calendar every year. (Elvis looking at fan mail, playing records on a train, kissing a girl backstage, etc...)

Love your signature D.Blythe! I've been in love with "Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters" ever since it was used in 'Almost Famous' :)
Thank you, Deacon Fan. I have loved it since "Honky Chateau".

I think someone summed it up in an earlier post, Bohemian Rhapsody means different things to different people, thats what makes us all unique. It was the first Queen Song I heard in back In 1975 , and its still my fave record ever, sure we all hear this one to death, but its still magic to me if maybe not others...however, use it sparingly and hopefully it won't get too boring..............lol
