Im really sick of the media making this song a focal point in queen's history. I like the song, but all of this expusure, make me not want to listen to it for a long time. |

join the club it is a great song but many other great songs can be found: some have lyrics full of meaning, other great music...Bo Rhap is a masterpiece but, you cannot sum up Queen to that...it's tiring if you only remember this song when you wanna talk about their glory |

I must admit i agree. Although i love the song to death and it is A SHEER MASTERPIECE, theres no disputes on that from what i can see. It is a very definitive track for Queen in terms of success, musicianship and writing. But if people would look at their earlier work, such as MY FAIRY KING, MARCH OF THE BLACK QUEEN etc, you can see that type of thing going on in Bo Rhap. I mean there are no words really to describe the song. But theres so many other greats as well. And i think its kind of ignorant in a way that people only want to see that as the ONE thing about Queen... There are so many aspects of this great band that need to be explored. Bo Rhap is a huge part of that experience yes. But it should just be the thing that maybe opens the floodgates for everything else they have going on. But it is a good place to start some newbies on their way to Queen fandom, ill say that much. |

I like Bohemian Rhapsody but it gets on my nerves after a while, same as WATC |
| deadbird 12.07.2006 14:42 |
maybe people make it out to be an essential point in Queen's history because it WAS. It saved them. It was make or break. And it was the biggest song they ever did, basically. |

But my point is that There are so many other dimensions to this group that people need to discuss and look at as well. Other sheer masterpieces... Just look at Queen II, theres a lot of awesome awesome tracks on that album. But its often overlooked... |

I totally agree. I love bo rhap...but i must admit, it is getting quite annoying. it is everywhere. I dont like how people base their opinions on Queen by listening to Bo Rhap. They dont dig deeper, and find other wonderful songs to listen to. Like for ex...I would say Was It All Worth and The Miracle...are as good as Bo Rhap...so is Show Must Go On. and they are somewhat ignored...am i making any sense at all? it is as if, all of Queen;s glory is held on the Bohemian Rhapsody!!! |

I would have to disagree on this just a little bit though... I mean, its not always bohemian rhapsody, you also have we are the champions/we will rock you, another one bites the dust, crazy little thing called love, under pressure that people use more often than Bohemian rhapsody |

Bo Rhap is one of my many Queen favorites. But perhaps it is a bit overplayed. I do agree there are so many other great Queen songs around. In defense of 'Bo Rhap', it has a timeless "uniqueness" to it that prevents me from getting sick of it. To me, it's a operetic ballad with an ingenious mix of classical and rock musical styles. The fact that it's so different, makes it appealing. |
| Chris L ♣ 12.07.2006 16:44 |
Bo Rhap was indeed a defining moment for Queen. The media tends to go with what is popular. |

I wouldn't say it gets on my nerves, perhaps not yet. I've been listening to it for years and I still haven't gotten tired of it yet. WWRY and Under Pressure are played a lot. Lately, I've been hearing a lot of Fat Bottom Girls too. I strongly agree, however, that Queen is way deeper than Bo Rhap or any of the popular ones we hear all the time. They truly were a unique group in a class all by themselves and if people delved a little deeper they would discover some real Queen gems. Maybe we should start a radio station that only played Queen songs, ALL OF THEM!! |

Thats probably why no one would ever call me to DJ a party... lol its be all QUEEN some beatles and a few other groups of that era... lol But I havent gotten sick of BO RHAP itself, i still headbang to it everytime i hear it! But people should include that in QUEENs list of achievements. And it does belong near the top... no doubts... But i think what gets my goat the most is people who dont get Bo Rhap and immediately criticize it... then they go their merry way and play their Panic at the disco or w/e the hell other shits out there... |
| val 29467 15.07.2006 15:52 |
agrees! in two of my school books Queen are mentioned in the crap about who made the first video clip. ALot of people think it's Queen with the bohe rhap video and i agree, but they don't seem to realise that Queen has doen alot more! |
| FreddieForeverNr1 15.07.2006 16:48 |
yeah really sick of everyone just thinking of this as the only song queen ever did. They have songs way better like show must go on and 100 more. |
