Sorry, pretension has a home and it’s with Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody. Nothing gets my hand moving to change the station faster. Nothing.
Really, well, how about this: Melanie (Brand new key).
It may be pretentious but it’s musicianship is awesome. I kind of lost interest when Freddy came out and I think the last album I like from them is Jazz.
His last song though, is pretty awesome but Freddy didn’t write it, I think the drummer did.

Brian May’s guitar playing is awesome as well and he and his dad built that guitar that has that awesome squeal when he selects that pickup.
Although everyone thinks Freddy was gay, the song on A Night at the Opera, “Love of My Life” was about his on/off girlfriend who inherited his house when he passed.
The bass player kind of dropped off the planet, they never say what happened except that he’s at a place in his life where he just wants to enjoy his home life.
