Industry gatekeepers said it would never be a hit, as it lacked a proper chorus and was too long to be played on the radio (at five minutes and fifty five seconds), and many of the bands musician pals said the same. Released in 1975 on Queen’s album A Night At The Opera, Bohemian Rhapsody was slated to fail. Bohemian Rhapsody is a song that will go down in history as one of the most important contributions to modern music as we know it. There is simply no overstating its significance, whether it’s the award winning vocal delivery of Freddie Mercury, the unusual arrangement that challenged conventional standards, the accompanying ‘promotional’ video that set the stage for music and video as a medium, or the mammoth studio production that managed to exceed the limitations of studio technology at the time. Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most highly acclaimed songs in the history of modern music.
