All memes aside, is Bohemian Rhapsody the worst song ever recorded?

All memes aside, is Bohemian Rhapsody the worst song ever recorded? I cringe every time I hear a redditor doing the silly cardiacs vocals
>>
Your post made me cringe desu
>>
If you seriously think Bohemian Rhapsody comes even close to be the worst song ever recorded, you need to listen to more bad music, or listen to some actual bad music to begin with.

>Queen is bad because of reddit

Neo-fedoras are offically taking over /mu/.

Bohemian Rhapsody is far from the worst song ever recorded, but it definitely isnt the best song like plebbit claims.
What would y'all say is the single best song ever?
My vote would be GY!BE - Storm
>>
>>63191600
No way is it Storm. It's either:
Talk Talk - I Believe in You
The Beach Boys - Surf's Up
Arthur Russell - Soon-To-Be Innocent Fun / Let's See
>>
>>63191600
Sister Ray or Helpless Child
>>
>>63191600
Yeah, I agree it isn't the best song, probably not even close to that as well, even though it is a good song.

I don't know what I would consider to be the best song ever because that usually changes depending on my humor, but my current favorite song is Supper's Ready by Genesis.
>>
No, it's just the most overrated song ever recorded, along with Journey's Don't Stop Believing.

Here's the thing about Freddie. The man had some serious pipes. He had a 4 octave range and he excelled in any octave. He wrote brilliant songs. And his stage presence was only matched by Adolf Hitler. Seriously, watch them play Radio Gaga at Live Aid and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We had better thank our lucky stars Freddie didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world. But Queen as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Freddie Mercury backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Queen what it is. Yes, Freddie wrore Somebody to Love, Killer Queen, and Bohemian Rhapsody, but Brian May wrote We Will Rock You, Save Me, and Fat Bottom Girls, John Deacon wrote I Want to Break Free, Another One Bites the Dust, and You're my Best Friend, and Roger Taylor wrote Radio Gaga and It's a Kind of Magic. Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Queen was this perfect storm of legendary talent, and Freddie was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae. He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of combo that was Queen to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Roger, Brian, and John, and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow our minds out through our ear holes. Yes, he was the most incredible front man who ever lived, hands down.

We Will Rock You

..are all more overrated by definition. Bohemian Rhapsody is a good song, just not by Queen standards. The 4 I listed above are worse, and just as popular or more popular.

It's an okay song but I personally don't like it. It's just hugely overrated.

Not him but if you want a reference for what's bad and what you just don't like, it's a good idea to listen to genuinely bad music

I have fond memories of singing this song with my parents. It's far from the worst song ever written.

It's not even the best Queen song.

Prophet's Song, March of the Black Queen, In the Lap of the Gods, Liar and Great King Rat are better.
>>
>>63192508
Queen, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera, & A Day at the Races have about 3 lousy songs total.

Storm isn't even the best on the album. I still love it though.

I think it's dumb to debate what the best song ever made is. It's not like you've heard every song, what if there's one out there that's better?

I can understand why one wouldn't like Bohemian Rhapsody. It's long, and over indulgent.

That being said, in many ways it's a rather clever song. It's like a 1976 version of A Quick One While He's Away by The Who.

It's popular, and over played all over the place, I'll grant you that, but if one is a serious musician, composer, and/or arranger, one can learn to appreciate the song.

No, it's not one of Queen's best songs. Not by a long shot. But it's one I can show respect for, in the same way I can show respect for Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin, and I HATE that song, and LZ in general.
