52 Songs That Changed My Life: 2 — Queen — Bohemian Rhapsody
Like most music fans, a lot of my earliest influences came from my parents. That was definitely the case with today’s entry in my list of 52 songs that changed my life.
To be honest, I don’t recall either of my parents being the biggest Queen fans in the world, so on the one hand, it’s a little weird that I owned a copy of not only Queen’s Greatest Hits, but also Innuendo, the band’s final studio album before Freddie Mercury’s sad passing.
On the other hand, it’s not that weird at all.
Even today, some 40ish years later, Queen’s Greatest Hits remains the UK’s best selling album of all time, clocking up 6,750,000 sales as of July 2021.
At one point, it was even reported that one in every four British households owned a copy of the album, so it doesn’t come as a massive surprise that ours was one of those households.
