A Conversation for 'Bohemian Rhapsody' - The Song

Blasphemy?

I reckon Bohemian Rhapsody isn't as good as popular opinion would have us believe. People generally seem to credit it as being this amazing song/video when actually it's a bit too slow and sparse to sustain any real interest (like that other 'masterpiece' Stairway to Heaven). By the time it gets going your attention has wandered, usually onto the fact that Queen (or Led Zep in the case of Stairway) did tons of songs that are a lot better and rocked a lot harder. The tempo is just too slow - who wants to listen to a ballad anyway? Next time you hear either of these songs, bear this opinion in mind and see what you think. By the way, I am a big Queen and Led Zeppelin fan; I just think that these two songs are automatically favoured at the expense of their better works.
