After doing the post yesterday about the Buddy Holly B-Side, I started thinking about some of my all-time favorite rock and roll B-sides. The first one that popped into my head was the flip side of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" single.
To be honest, with the massive amount of airplay the A-Side received, especially after its scene-stealing appearance in the Wayne's World movie, I think the B-Side is the better song.
"I'm In Love With My Car" was written by drummer John Taylor. And, unlike most Queen songs Freddie Mercury doesn't sing the lead vocal, John does. He has more grittiness to his voice, and when it comes to rock and roll, that's a good thing.

Rock music is like it, too!
The long version of "Love Is Like Oxygen" by Sweet is a great tune. Nothing more to add, yet.
Rock on!
Wasn't that a great song? It is from their 1978 album, Level Headed. "Love Is Like Oxygen" is often confused for an ELO song by casual rock fans. However, real rock fans may wonder why, as there is no violin or cello, and the harmonies are entirely different. Oh well.
While it marked a change in direction for the band, and could have been a sign of better things to come, it was Sweet's last Top 10 hit before disbanding in 1982.
