A comparison of the production of popular music works: the classic pop works of the 1970s century and the reproduction of the classics in the current pop industry---- Take Queen as an example

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the production comparison of popular music works. Taking Queen as an example, by comparing A Night at the Opera released in 1975 and Bohemian Rhapsody: The Original Soundtrack released in 2018, I have found differences in their underlying production logic and discussed the reasons for these differences. In summary, this study reveals the differences in the production logic between classic pop music and current pop industry's reproduction of them, and provides some constructive insights.
