Wont get fooled again.

I love the energy and anger of it, and have never bored of it. Bohemian Rhapsody on the other hand, very clever, but to be honest I wouldn't be too upset if I never heard it again.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Both songs are masterpieces and it hurts to vote for only one of these. Still I vote for Bohemian Rhapsody, but it wins this round by the thickness of a hair for me.

I'd go for Won't Get Fooled again. Love both of them, but only one of them is guaranteed to make burst into air-guitar mode

Like comparing apples and oranges. I like both songs and bands generally, but Bohemian Rhapsody gets my vote.

I never understood the adage for 'apples and oranges'.

Some similarities:

-They're both edible

-They're both closely resembling a circle/oval

-They're both fruits

-They're both sour

-They both have skins/rinds ( outer shell)

-They're both able to be turned into a juice

-They're both used as confusing examples in the adage 'apples and oranges'

-They both can be thrown at people as projectile weapons

-They're both healthier for you than drinking liquid lard.

-They both have seeds in them.

That's a lot of similarities, right? So what's the fuss?

Both are great, but there is something powerful, angry, and a still true message in Won't Get Fooled Again, so voted for The Who!

Always felt the brilliant headbanging section in Bohemian Rapsody to be just too short and coming after far too much 'fannying around'. It was around that time that Queen started to lose me. Wont Get Fooled Again is basicallyjust fantastic. Four guys playing as though their lives and everyone else's depends on it. Not a difficult choice for me.

Won't Get Fooled Again is a masterpiece Rock'n'Roll song.

That other one is boring and annoying.

Don't make me be petty. Tongue

Uhm...

-They're both used be humans?

-They're both made of matter

-They can both be white

-They're both, uhm, edible? I ain't saying it'd taste good!

-They can both be legally taken on an airplane?

I get bored of neither and both are great, but when it comes down to it... Bohemian Rhapsody.
