Thanks RJ,,,yes I listened to Bohemian Rhapsody when it was released, and it was totally unique compared with the other music of the day, I Never bought the album though,,,my friend was a huge Queen fan, he emigrated from England and introduced me to many cool new bands we never heard of before. As to the Prog label,,,when I was collecting music,,,Queen was considered Art Rock,,,the Prog distinction came about later, so when Boo Boo said he regretted putting Queen in the category that's what I was thinking.(Art-Rock, Acid-Rock, Psychedelic-Rock, Hard-Rock, Pop, Folk. Country, Classical, these were about all the choices available when I started out in the music world, things have grown a bit since then. Plus the small town where I lived was always a few months behind the current musical trends. Oh and I do Own a copy of it now

Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. they incorporate opera in with their music and make it sound as if you were in a theater. not to mention no one has been able to touch freddie's vocals yet. queen will live on to be one of my favourite bands

Pink Floyd for me. I prefer their early stuff but Animals, some WYWH and Wall are classic stuff. And DSOTM is solid too.
