This is the first time by memory listening to it, I didn't like the start, but the song grew on me as it went.

[@LieutenantJoey]

They were worried that Bohemian Rhapsody wouldn't get airplay because it's too long and it incorporates too much opera into it. This song is the longest in Queen's repertoire, and much darker sounding than even most Black Sabbath songs that got airplay at the time, with two and a half minutes of nothing but Freddie's voice overlaid with itself. It would never have gotten on the radio back then. It's a gem that was doomed to obscurity from the start.

A Night at the Opera was a very generous album. It offered not one long ballad, but two. This song is one of the best songs of the 1970s and is one of the best Queen songs of all time. After this, you get the soothing sounds of Love of my Life, before barreling into a jolly warm song with Good Company. Following that is the masterpiece of art that is Bohemian Rhapsody before ending with God Save the Queen. Beautiful B side

Yet, when asked what kind of songs Brian wrote Freddie replied, 'The kind I don't like.' Never been sure if he was kidding or not.

[@G8GT364CI]

Freddy was a more poppy type writer with more nuance with operatic influences and Brian is a hard rock guy. It's hard to say but I think Freddie was actually the more talented writer and musician overall but both are the best of the best. When Freddie died the world lost one talented MF.

[@thexalon]

If this song hadn't appeared on the same album as Bohemian Rhapsody, I suspect it would have been even more popular. For any other band, this song would have been the high point of their career, but Freddie managed to come up with something even more epic, so it wasn't.

[@Manny29]

thexalon actually that's quite true I'm telling you since queen 2 is based around fantasy at least the dark side is and this was on it imagine how more well known it would be

[@marcelageiger]

Idk, to me this song is even superior. But the masses don't understand that; they understand BR better (not saying that it's bad, ofc).

[@cliff1634]

This was Brian’s work

[@Skvertven]

Also think so. It seems the group have paid much attention to BR, making it a masterpiece. And The Prophet`s song was left as is. It is too long for single, Freddie`s solo sequenzas and choir part lack something special, the song is ending with a transition to Love of My Life instead of own coda. But the music material is excellent- it could be a real sympho rock superhit. Pity, it is not.

[@Gukkor]

Any Queen song that isn't Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites the Dust, We Are the Champions, We Will Rock You, or The Show Must Go On is probably underrated.

[@Eeeemomo]

+Gukkor I think you are missing Under Pressure.

[@Gukkor]

Under Pressure is one of the best songs ever performed by Queen OR David Bowie, which is saying a whole hell of a lot. As much as people may love that song, I still think it deserves more praise than it gets.

[@radio_gabba]

The prophets song is one of those songs that slowly grows on you. At least it was for me. The first time I heard the song, I didn’t really care for it, but now it’s one of my favorites. I think if The Prophets Song weren’t on the same album as Bohemian Rhapsody, it would be much more successful.

[@Bia-b3v]

I agree, it happened to me too! The first time I heard it, i thought it was nice, but not in a special way. Later that day it got stuck in my head so i listened to it again and it felt like a different song! It became one of my favourites and still is. Amazing song!

[@V1nc3ntL33]

This is the most EPIC SONG OF ALL FREAKIN' TIME and probably the best too even though that’s a pretty huge statement but still... you realise the glory if you can even say something like that with such a confidence. Brian’s ability to arrange musically a dream, give "life" to it in such a way and the band’s talent/ability to execute that piece it's astonishing! You know, people are not immortal (not their bodies at least) but sometimes what they're leaving behind, lives forever!

I agree on that The March Of The Black Queen is the older sister to Bohemian Rhapsody but since they are Freddies children I don't agree with that they are siblings to The Prophet's song and Innuendo since they are Mays and Taylors children. 😉
