“A Night At The Opera,” named after a Marx Brothers film, is now considered one of the greatest albums of all time. Queen combined the strengths of the two previous albums to the ultimate mix, which is extraordinary at every level, whether musically, artistic or in the texts. The album ever produced until then provided rock, opera, heavy metal, romantic, ballads, pop, science fiction folk, Music Hall, jazz and even a national anthem. Part of the album is also the most famous rock song that has ever been written.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” stayed at the top of the charts for 14 weeks, was voted song of the millennium, was the only song to top the Christmas charts twice and sold more than a million copies on two different releases. Queen also recorded the first official promo tape for “Bohemian Rhapsody” because they were unable to appear on Top of the Pops due to a tour. So this video paved the way to MTV and VH1.
