Why it is here
- The song is a six-minute suite with no refraining chorus, blending an intro, ballad, operatic passage, hard rock section, and coda into one of the few progressive rock songs of the 1970s to reach a mainstream audience. source
- Recording it required bouncing tracks across eight generations of 24-track tape, amassing nearly 200 overdubs, including 180 vocal overdubs for the operatic choir effect created by May, Mercury, and Taylor alone. source
- Its promotional video is credited with furthering the development of the music video medium. source
