Before I scare any of you away, let me just say that this time I am limiting myself to THREE picks after this initial list.

Re: Bohemian Rhapsody
I'm beating ElVez to it this time... the most pompous piece of crap ever put to vinyl in my opinion. My most hated song of all time (it is my ID4 of music)!Uncomplicated wrote:Nice! Bohemian Rhapsody......The best song of the Rock and Roll era....IMO!
