Radio Ga-Ga. Defines the worst decade in pop history, it´s even worse than Life Is Life from the same year. The pinnacle of rubbish practically in everything in pop culture, so far well things are horrible in today´s "pop".
The funny thing, without knowing the band´s musical history, is mission impossible to know that those guys were the best example new and very promising hard/prog act in 1974 with their finest hour, Sheer Heart Attack. Despite May´s "revolutionary" guitar tune that sounded quite thin to be honest. But I still like the album and it contains a few killer tunes like Brighton Rock.
As a fan of melodic heavy rock music, I have never been excited of their sound/thing really and after 1976 I couldn´t stand anything they did not to mention Mercury´s voice. We Are the Champions was the final straw and it quite rightly belongs exactly there, for annoying screaming masses. And Live Killers is the worst sounding live album alongside Kiss Alive. Heh, Kiss Live Killer Alive.
But the funniest thing is, as when the great performer is hailed by legions of music experts, journalists, critics, rock fans, press etc. etc the best ever rock vocalist, he never sang the blues.
