THE 200 ESSENTIAL SONGS OF THE 1970s. This update: #8. A new song added daily.
THE 200 MOST
ESSENTIAL SONGS
OF THE
1970s
It was the decade of glam, disco, funk, Philly Soul, heavy metal, the singer/songwriter, punk and new wave. Here are the 200 songs that mattered most during the Seventies, in terms of influence, impact and success. To be eligible, the song needed to be released- as a single or on an album- during the years 1970-1979.
8The four members of the band sit together in front of a sandy-coloured background wearing predominantly black clothing. Freddie Mercury appears to be the dominant figure, sat in front of the other three members. From left to right, John Deacon, Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor. All four individuals are looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression on their face. Above the band is some black text, printed in an elegant, italic font face. The word "Queen" followed by "Bohemian Rhapsody", the latter of which is positioned under the band name in the same format yet smaller font.
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
Queen [1975]
Bombast or classic, either way you look at it, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" is like no other record before it or since. The group threw everything into the  track: prog rock, opera, heavy metal, glam, art rock and pop. Somehow, it all comes together as a seamlessly unique epic. Time has done nothing to lessen its impact.
