Possibly Queen’s most popular album, A Night At The Opera is a fantastic release, obviously with “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Love of My Life” being on this album you know you’re in for an experience, however I gravitate towards the stellar “‘39”, performed by Brian May, the haunting “Prophet’s Song”, featuring a delayed vocal solo akin to the guitar solo from “Brighton Rock”, and the short and sweet “Seaside Rendezvous”. This album is slightly brought down by “Sweet Lady” and “Good Company”, otherwise this is a perfect album.
