There's a lot of bands that are misunderstood by the average listener. A lot of people aren't familiar with Rush''s hard prog rock music of the 70s.

Or they don't know that Deep Purple started as a classically influenced pop group, or they don't know how great Black Sabbath first six albums were. Queen are one of the most misunderstood bands though. For a lot of "fans" it's all about the Greatest Hits and Freddie the showman.

Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, and A Night at the Opera are one of the most incredible back-to-back trios of releases ever.

Groundbreaking all the way and boundlessly influential.

[@Genomizer]

I am so with you!!! And the techniques QUEEN used back in the day are still not used. Like the big choir wit just 4 (3 John did´t sing) guys. And the sound of Brian May´s guitar is so unique to this day. Roger plays drums like no-one ever, Freddie is and will be one of his kind always and John and his bass will complete the whole package. I make music and I´d love to have Brian to play one of my songs....

Early 70's Queen was really something else. This was from Queen II, released in March 1974, almost two years before ANATO which was November 1975. Pre-Bohemian Rhapsody there was so much great stuff. I love all eras of the band really, but I think people who don't listen to this earlier stuff are missing out on a lot. But you do see some of this hard rock energy on some of their stuff later on, particularly Hammer to Fall (1984) and Innuendo (1991). The Prophet's Song from ANATO is one of my personal favourites.

Queen were quite heavy on the first 2 albums before they started making pop singles. Heavy drum,basslines and riffs and solos. Definitely up with Sabbath, Zeppelin and Purple

[@omarsaenz6501]

Together with The Who they were the kings and QUEENS of Rock Opera, progressive rock at it's finest.

This is a fooking brilliant song

Brian May is a God!!!

[@antievangelico]

and QUEEN is my religion

[@gtametro]

Did you know Freddie wrote the guitar for this song?

[@jimbo0707]

Anderson Douglas you are correct 👍 I have been saying since I was a teenager in the early '80s "Brian May Is The Most Underrated Guitarist In Rock Music", and I will go to my grave believing that 👍

Queen is the best

Whole album is flawless

[@user-yt9hc6bx9v]

эту песню полностью сочинил Меркьюри на гитаре ,и даже виртуоз Мэй, был покарен неожиданным мелодическим и гармоническим решением и при том в неожиданной тональности. КРУТО!!!

[@seredaaleksandr7894]

ну да, автор гитарного рифа к этой теме Фредди Меркьюри, но сказать что бы полностью.. Все равно каждый член группы что то приносил своё в каждую композицию но беспорным автором считался именно тот кто принёс идею песни в студию

[@NatandGeorge]

Фредди был совершенством на сцене!

[@johntyrrell1549]

I'm here because I just found out this song was the progenitor for the Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre series.

[@Neodude991]

One of Queen's absolute best songs!

[@anibalperez5347]

2:07 Brian May's favorite riff ever

[@streetfood7568]

It’s honestly so cool how queen songs have so many layers

[@cav101]

They're like onions

Alyssa Young yeah, or cakes. People like cakes. Nobody likes onions.

[@roberthussey5552]

A live version of this can be heard on the Queen album 'At the Beeb'. The album was recorded in 1973.. a pleasure hearing a lot of material off their first albums. The album was released in 1989. The sports in that enough to see them live 3 times. 77-80-82.

Once a friend told me he read Brian May was into role-playing games and since there were no song credits in the CD edition I have I thought all these fantasy songs were writen by him, much to my surprise it was Freddie. Queen's first three albums are amazing.

[@arishafatima3710]

j s yeah I've read those rumors about Brian too 😂

[@iancolthart6676]

Considering he has a PhD in physics, he's probably a gigantic nerd lol

[@MisterAppleEsq]

He has a room in his house full of Star Wars figurines, so yeah. A huge nerd.

[@nurlindafsihotang49]
