I have the CD single re-release of "Bohemian Rhapsody" from 1991, when Freddy Mercury died. Wow. It doesn't seem that long ago to me, really, and I'm only 31...
That is one of my favourite songs from childhood. That, and Swedish band Abba's "Chiquita", and Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street", and the New Zealand band The Swingers' "Counting the Beat" (erm, I think that was 1980 - does that count, since I was born in 1972?)
All great listening.
I'm still shaking my head about Freddy Mercury actually being APPROVED by the IRanian authorities, though. Whoah!
The music score to Flash Gordon is one of about 4 CDs I ever bought just because I liked the music.
