      Much overplaying of this song has dampened my appreciation for it, but it's still one of my favorites.
    • 1. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
      There's just so much to say about this song. Only Queen could combine that many styles of music and return full-circle in 6 minutes. You listen to this song wherever you are, and it is truly my favorite song of the 70's.
