Agree with you on Free Bird. I also think Bohemian Rhapsody deserves a nod.
Am I the only person who loathes Free Bird? It's just so God damned slow, and every time I hear the guitar warble all I can see in my mind is a desert highway from the back of a station wagon, just endless tedium and apathy.
Keep in mind that neither I nor my parents have ever owned a station wagon, so I don't think it's just that my parents previously owned @FiveHourMarathon's old car with the busted tape deck and we took it on a road trip through the desert, and the memory is tainting my listening pleasure. But the image in my head is definitely a station wagon, and it's definitely going through the desert, I want to say in Wyoming or maybe the Northern Territory. I would interrogate this phenomenon further except then I'd have to listen to Free Bird and I'd rather jam knitting needles into my ears (I lasted 15 seconds listening to it for this post.)
It could be a station wagon, but it could also be a convertible:

See, Rob Zombie gets it! Wait, that actually hurts my credibility doesn't it?

Good God I can't stand Bohemian rhapsody.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is too far outside of the expected parameters of “rock and roll”. Way too many non-rock elements. Fails the Chuck Berry test, in the same way that “Stairway To Heaven” does. It’s a great song, and technically it’s a rock song, but it’s not a great rock song.
