Queen - A Night At The Opera (1975)



Leo, who just couldn't get enough of Queen, grabbed every album the band put out. He was particularly hooked on 'A Night at the Opera'; I'm sure his copy of the LP saw more turntable torture than it deserved.

Lots of nice memories on this one. I can recollect all of us singing along to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' every time we heard it — just like kids these days — even though I was never really a Queen fan. But I'm impressed by how well the music has aged (or hasn't!).

Queen II is another very interesting album from Queen. However, the only song there that people seem to know is 7 Seas of Rye. It has many trademark Queen stuffs. ie March of the Black Queen is probably the predecessor of the Bohemian Rhap. I in fact feel it's better than Bohemian Rhapsody.

Yeah, my late buddy Leo was crazy about 'Queen II', too. We were about 15 when we first heard it. It's certainly one of their harder rocking albums. If you hurry, you might be able to beam it down HERE!
