Picking the top song of this decade is a tough task. This was the time of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon, Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks, Joni Mitchell’s Blue, Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew, Alice Coltrane’s Journey in Satchidananda, Herbie Hancock’s Head Hunters, Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Throbbing Gristle’s 20 Jazz Funk Greats.
Stating that Queen’s fourth album “single-handedly revolutionized rock music and opened the door for what elaborate concoctions were even possible in the genre,” Forbes dubs “Bohemian Rhapsody” as proof of “Queen’s brilliance” and a “masterful work of art.”
Freddie Mercurybegan working on “Bohemian Rhapsody” sometime in the late 60s while studying at Ealing Art College, according to uDiscover Music. Sometime in the early 70s, Queen’s guitarist, Brian May, remembers his friend "coming in with loads of bits of paper from his dad’s work, like Post-it notes, and pounding on the piano. “And this song he had was full of gaps where he explained that something operatic would happen here and so on.”
Producers worried that, at nearly six minutes long, “Bohemian Rhapsody” wouldn’t play on the radio. The song defied concerns: it topped the UK Singles charts and reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. In 2018, it became the most-streamed song of the 20th century.
