Somebody to Love is fantastic. But Bo Rhap is their greatest work....even Freddie acknowledged as much. It might be the greatest song ever written. Some of these other songs...yeesh (sorry). They really think they are in this category???? Marley's "3 Birds" (great song, BTW) You think that he thought that was his
greatest work??? What he wanted to be remembered for? I mean, I have 2 young teenagers, who I don't think have ever been with me, where I put this song "on" more than once or twice, where I actually "made them listen" But man, the couple of times I've seen them when they hear this song wherever they do,on their own....Wow. They get excited, just like teenagers 30 years ago. It F'n transcends. THAT's what I think a truley great song does. It reaches EVERYONE. Hell, my Mom even appreciates and likes Bo Rhap.
I'm going to get blasted for this. Ugh.
BTW, this was not my "best song", but I obviously have no issue with anyone that did. It's a Top 10, minimum.
Love to see list from the biggest bands of the last 30 years.....Guns, Metallica, Foos, U2.....anyone want to bet where Bo Rap would fall as "best" or "most influential"?
I'm done..
