I'm curious to know if anyone else actually doesn't think BR is one of Queens better songs? I don't dislike it, its fun and more than a bit quirky and different, but I'd definitely say it's massively overrated compared to something like I want it all which IMO is a strong contender for their greatest track - simpler, more powerful and direct! Think that might have to become what I'm listening to nowYes I can guess why. But as much as I enjoy Bohemian Rhapsody, One Vision, Its a kind of Magic, this one is my favourite.
Their greatest track is Who wants to live forever IMO.I'm curious to know if anyone else actually doesn't think BR is one of Queens better songs?

I would be hard pressed to pick a "greatest track", and while BR is great, I don't think it's their greatest. As @Apple fanboy says, "Who Wants To Live Forever" is way up there, maybe the top. But my heart says, "You're My Best Friend" may be my top fav. Really, how do you pick one song out of discography that reeks of quality?I'm curious to know if anyone else actually doesn't think BR is one of Queens better songs?

For me it’s always been who wants to live forever, but you are right they have so many great tracks.

Dare I say, BR and We are the Champions are.... overplayed?
It’s difficult to pick my favorite Queen tracks, but for right now, they are:
-Seven Seas of Rhye
-Under Pressure
-Friends Will be Friends
... which will probably change next week.![]()

BR is overplayed precisely because it is so original, haunting and brilliant.
I was at school when that song was first released, and it was absolutely spellbinding; at the tie it was released, it was above everything else that was popular at the time in range, scope, imagination, difference, sheer originality, unforgettable swoops - that it set a new standard for what was possible; it redefined - because it extended - what could be considered as "popular" music.
I never skip any Queen song.Concur. I never skip it on my iPod.![]()
I’d certainly agree, for a band with bucket loads of fantastic hits to hear just one of their songs over and over is a real shame!Dare I say, BR and We are the Champions are.... overplayed?

I’m listening to silence with intermittent dog snores.
