I've loved their music for decades, though I didn't really become what you might call a fan until Freddie died. That's principally because they were part of the soundtrack to my childhood, alongside everything else. Bo Rhap of course is the standout; trailed closely by Killer Queen, Save Me, I Want It All, Headlong, Seaside Rendezvous - there isn't really a 'bad' track in their catalogue. The first, a cappella, half of We Will Rock You is the greatest rock anthem of all time.
