I don't really like Queen. Overplayed and overrated. BUT I absolutely love this song! Fabulous harmonies.
#12 on the Pop Charts.

I'm hot and cold on Queen; I either love the song or I don't like it at all. You've picked one here that I love.

I like this one. Even more theatrical than their usual.

I'm a massive Queen fan. I tend to think they peaked in the late seventies and early eighties, but this is one of their best pre-A Night At The Opera moments. The incredible harmonies that have already been mentioned go without saying which is a shame, because I feel like with Queen they excelled at them so much that you can listen without even registering how good they were. Those combined with the instrumentation (those finger clicks!) and the lyrics, which paint some of the strongest images I've ever experienced from pop music, help make this so amazing. This song was really a moment where everything fell into place, setting the tone for the rest of their career.

I'm of the opinion that Queen was more or less strong the whole way through, and this is in the top group. Very them.
