How is BohRhap similiar to March of the Black Queen?[/QUOTE]
They are both mostly acyclic pieces of music with several different sections, themes and melodies. Surely not your average pop song.
I once made a paper on Bohemian Rhapsody for my musical appreciation class and mentioned Black Queen as a predecessor to it. Before that, maybe My Fairy Queen could be considered the start of a series of ideas, techniques and styles that eventually led to Freddie writing BoRhap.
As (I believe) Sebastian pointed out in a thread, during the first half of the seventies, Queen got a bit more accessible to the masses while having more complex arrangements. Bohemian Rhapsody is the ultimate product of this.
Still, I don't like the ANATO album as much as I like ADATR (talking about similar albums).

It's a very strange yet beautiful song in which only Freddie could pull off. It's almost orgasmic.

So unlike bands these days that take 2-3 years between albums, Queen in the 70's was with a range of 1-2 year space. And in that time between studio work there were touring the globe. [/QUOTE]
This is a bit off the mark, 'cos you made a good point, but just wanted to remind that in the 70's a world tour meant North America, western (=non-socialist) parts of Europe, Japan and Australia in some cases. Nowadays the world tours really are world tours, so it takes much more time to promote the latest album everywhere. That's why many BIG bands release an album only every 2-4 years.

night at the opera is one my favorite.
i dont know why, but it also changes day to day. tomorrow their debut album will be a favorite. then news of the world the next day. i honestly cant pick a favorite, and that to me, ladies and gentleman, proves a great band. i dont think it is over rated. it is properly rated ot its quality of work. however, i believe if anything there are some underrated albums.

Also, releasing them too soon can kill a band.
Men At Work - Released "Cargo" while still in the US promoting Business As Usual. Five top ten singles in 1982-83. Then one more album with half the "Men" missing, and done.
Creed - Released three crappy albums so close together, it didn't take the world long to figure out how bad they sucked.
And that's why Brian May releases a solo album every 17 years.

Queen were at their best during the early years. Queen II was an absolute masterpiece, and Sheer Heart Attack was even better. Queen (the album) was substantially better than "The Game" which some argue to be one of their best. Queen redeemed themselves with News Of The World, but it wasn't the same. News Of The World would work better as an album if the first two tracks (We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions) had been the last two tracks. but with songs that seem to end an album at the beginning, I am constantly reaching for the next button on my stereo. Somehow, they redeemed themselves again on Innuendo, but this sounded like a third rate Guns And Roses tribute band had attempted to make a carbon copy of Queen II without getting sued.
I know you are going to flame me for insulting "the greatest band in the land" but I don't fucking care. nothing about being a Queen fan requires me to love every single album. [/QUOTE]
This is hardly a "fresh" idea. This argument has existed for a long while, and you realize this now? And if I may add, your ignorance is apparent. There was no need to stoop so low as to resort to profanity.[/QUOTE]
You read my mind.
And notice how he changed his fave album. xP

A Fresh View would be to see the world without you, Angus.
