Queen’s Near-Perfect 1975 Love Song Still Stands as the Saddest of All Time

Although Queen has had such an extensive catalog, their sound is perhaps most recognized for its genre-defying appeal and theatrical flair. The English rock band, formed in 1970, is best known for their high-energy and anthemic tracks like “We Will Rock You,” “Another One Bites The Dust,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “Hammer To Fall,” and, of course, the iconic “Bohemian Rhapsody.” But behind their bombastic discography also lie some mellow, emotional ones. One such track is “Love of My Life,” a 1975 soft rock single that is easily one of the most melancholic love songs of its era — and of all time.
