Queen are a little hit and miss for me, but Bohemian Rhapsody is a fantastic piece - if only the spiritual follow-up, Innuendo, got the same sort of attention.

Me neither. I did find their work towards the end of Freddie's life much more affecting, due in no small part to his obvious fragility. It was much softer, more reflective music by that point..
When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks, I watch his lips
