MY favorite comment.........
Leia. "Something you'd like to add, Skywalker?"
Luke. "Yes, ma'am. The data on the TIE Defender is inaccurate. I watched one do a zero-g negative dive."
Leia. "Oh really? Where and when"?
Luke. "That's classified. I could tell you but then I'd have to perform a Jedi Mind Trick on you."
Leia. "Skywalker, I am a high commander of the Rebel Alliance, what you know I know, now what happened?"
Luke. "Well we started on his six but a reverse retro thrust force me to pull up above him."
Leia. "If you were above him, how did you see him?"
Luke. "Because I was inverted."
Wedge "*cough* bullshit!."
Biggs. "No, man he was. He was inverted."
Leia "What were you doing up there?"
Luke "Keeping up diplomatic relations. You know communicating. I gave him the Mynock."
Leia. "The Mynock?"
Biggs. "You know the finger?"
Leia. "YES! I know the finger, Biggs."
Biggs. "I'm sorry, I hate it when it does that."
Leia. "So you're the one?"
Luke "Yes ma'am."

Just listening to it I am impressed at the technical skills as this is one of if not the most complex "rock" ever performed.
Oh man, you have to expand your range!!
Queen is AWESOME, no doubt, but the complexity does not approach something like some of Maidens songs. Maiden is metal, and queen is rock, Fear of the dark, Hallowed be thy name, blood brothers (that one is for us here)
The entire Seventh son of a seventh son album, 39 albums, 17 studio ones, it's hard to pick a title that would just blow your mind............
How is this for complex, and it's not even Maiden:

Technically it is better than Queen, BUT music is what resonates with the soul, something you can surely understand my brother.

Maiden is very good but for sheer technical brilliance nothing has topped Bohemian Rhapsody. This has been widely acknowledged for a while (voted in 2021 best composition of all time, #17 on Rolling Stone's Top rock of all time, etc. ). There really isn't anything else like it with the complex overlays of acapello, opera, ballad and hard rock. It actually defies classification - is it rock even? The rock part takes less time than the opera or the ballad. It also has a very unusual structure, among other things there is no chorus.

You are right, there IS nothing else like it. I still fondly remember being in my mates XJS Jaguar (2100 pounds of pure CAR) with Bohemian Rhapsody blaring out of the speakers, driving through central Sydney!! Hell, I even sat on the window ledge while we were doing 100km belting the song out at the top of my lungs!! Frankly, I wonder how Gen X survived sometimes we did some crazy things (or, it might have been just me :D )

The harmonics in this are excellent. The same is true of "Princes of the Universe".

While I do admire the work of Queen because of the technical brilliance they are not my sole liking. My genre preference is actually more in the worlds of John Lee Hooker, Quarterflash, Little River Band, Kansas and their ilk.

Check out this video featuring Neil Young it's so strange that no one recognises him.
