If you had to pick one of these...

Queen. That voice & the arrangement win at life. I still remember the first time I ever heard it on the radio--I was blown away and called to find out who it was and what record it was on. But I always feel the need to say, "I loved that song BEFORE Wayne's World" when I talk about it. LOL

given up a on your Bruce/Jovi extravaganza? Just a suggestion :P

That is just about THE perfect setlist. I had a friend who was lucky enough to get a ticket in a ballot, and she said last night was the closest she'll ever come to a religious experience LOL!

From the youtube stuff I've seen, Robert Plant's vocals were top notch!! Awesome stuff!

I hope they enjoyed it enough to do a few more dates!

Stairway.
I've never understood people's fascination with Queen, anyway.

Is there a bootleg of this available? I've seen a few clips from it on dutch tv and it looked awesome.

My vote goes to Hotel California. The storyline behind the lyrics are fascinating, and the guitar solo, no matter how many times I hear it, never bores me.

I've never really understood the hype about Bohemian Rhapsody anyway. It merely sounds like a gimmick with all the voices, and I've never been able to take the song seriously anyway. "Mama I just killed a man...Scaramouche,scaramouche will you dance the tango, oh oh oh mamma mia, yeah, whatever. It's a nice song to sing along to, but it's nothing more than that to me. It's probably why that many people like the song. It's easy listening, and not as complex as the other 3 you mentioned.

Of all those artists behind the songs I'm only really a Queen fan, so I'd have to go for Bohemian Rhapsody. Next I'd probably say Hotel California, then Stairway To Heaven, and honestly I don't think I'd know Freebird if I heard it, the name certainly doesn't ring a bell.

Queen certainly do have a lot of great and very diverse music, and there is always a lot of layers to it, and Bohemian Rhapsody is certainly like that, and so many changes even with a single song. It's probably one of my favourites, though I do very much like Somebody To Love and Innuendo, and a lot of the tracks from GHII.

Not as yet as far as I know - but if you find one let me know. I'm keeping my eye out for one.

You can not be serious. If I ever thought you had any musical knowledge (not sure I ever did), I must have been extremely wrong. Bohemian Rhapsody is the OPPOSITE of easy-listening and more complex than all other three put together. Hotel California and Free Bird are basic pop songs if we exclude the solos. Yes, the solos of both of them are outstanding. Otherwise, from the melodic structures they don't differ at all from anything mainstream. Both have amazing lyrics and are good storytellers but Bohemian Rhapsody is so much more. From the musical structure to the modernist literary influences (there everything in it from Dostoevsky to Proust to Camus), the guitar solo, the a-Capella part, the rhythm changes , the production, the opera-like structure, not to mention the vocals of Freddie.

It's more like you never understood the song itself. I have no problem with anyone liking Hotel California or Free Bird better but saying that those songs are more complex than Bohemian Rhapsody can only be the conclusion of a philistine. Which you are. Bohemian Rhapsody is probably the most avant-guardits piece of music created in recent times and I don't know ANY other band who had the balls to release anything even close to Bohemian Rhapsody.

i am the only one to vote Freebird! yay...original, unique, special...that's me
