Agree with a lot of this, but the band got away with a lot of lesser songs thanks to Freddie Mercury's vocal ability to carry them through.

Let's not forget their George Martin in (Reinhold) Mack. Very much like The Beatles with Martin, I can say that it was his Production and Engineering that seriously made their music sound good. Same goes for his work with Sparks as well...and, to the very few who can forgive him for "Rock Me Tonight", Billy Squire. He also was part of the technical details in various other bands like Deep Purple (and I think a Jon Lord solo), ELO, and singers like Donna Summer in her Giorgio Moroder years (to some, her very best).
