I was expecting Pants on the Ground when I clicked the link, it's a wee bit over rated, probably not even Zeppelin's best but still it's a great song.

Have you gone mad, child? =]

How is bohemian rhapsody "kinda horrid"? I'd like you to explain that, preferrably accompanied with you linking a song that is presumably far better than bohemian rhapsody. =)

I wouldn't say horrid but completely over rated, personally pop isn't my genre of choice, besides the whole opera part is far too theatrical to be taken seriously.

Ofcourse it's overrated, how could it not be overrated? That doesen't mean anything, since that doesen't take away from the quality of the music itself. It's also not pop, it's a classical rhapsody with heavy rock elements. How that can get misconstrued as pop is beyond me. =] If it's too "theatrical" and by that i presume you're referring to the whole "dramaturgy" of the song, i guess that's completely up to personal preferences. I can definitely see where you're coming from with that point of criticism, i just do not agree that it has a detrimental effect on the song, quite the contraire actually. =]

The entire idea of a song being either horrid or the greatest of all time is completely up to personal preference, I find it difficult to take Queen's music seriously in general, Bohemian Rhapsody being one of the few songs I can actually tolerate by them.

I will take your repeated point of criticism up to afterthought. =]

Because they have a right to their own opinions.
