Who's the Queen now, Simon Ferocious?

When Freddie Mercury kicks your ass...
...You're not as punk as you think you are.

Freddie did bring ballet to the masses, in 1976's A Day at the Races.

This was the follow up to the epic A Night at the Opera. Queen lived up to that though, giving us two classic songs, the hammering Tie Your Mother Down and the thunderously melodic Someone to Love.

Millionaire's Waltz is Freddie's ballet track. It manages to do some of the same things as Bohemian Rhapsody without sounding self derivative. Which is hard to do.

It takes a lot of talent to be a really good rock band. Punk? Not so much.
