In late 1975, Queen recorded and released A Night at the Opera, taking its name from the popular Marx Brothers movie.
Like its predecessor, the album features diverse musical styles and experimentation with stereo sound.
In " The Prophet's Song ", an eight-minute epic, the middle section is a canon, with simple phrases layered to create a full-choral sound.
It has also ranked highly in international polls ; in a worldwide Guinness poll, it was voted the 19th greatest of all time, while an ABC poll saw the Australian public vote it the 28th greatest of all time.
A Night at the Opera has frequently appeared in " greatest albums " lists reflecting the opinions of critics.
Among other accolades, it was ranked number 16 in Q Magazine's " The 50 Best British Albums Ever " in 2004, and number 11 in Rolling Stone's " The 100 Greatest Albums of All Time " as featured in their Mexican edition in 2004.
It was also placed at No. 230 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of " The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time " in 2003.
A Night at the Opera is the third and final Queen album to be featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
