    You might find it hard to believe, but it is a fact: I never heard of Freddie Mercury until I went looking for "My Dingaling" and found this flick. And for a while I thought that was Freddie Mercury, and he was terrible.

    Stevie Riks is awesome. His Paul McCartney impression is the best.

    There's lots of great singers but nobody like Freddie. He's just too good. Even sounds better live. 

    A four-octave vocal range is quite rare for a rock front-man.

    I knew you would -- and am glad -- that you'd be here to answer about Freddie.
    :)

    The other day "Fat-Bottomed Girls" came on the radio and I cranked that baby up -- I love that song! This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at January 1, 2018 8:22 PM MST

    Billy isn't in the same class as Freddie. He's punk, Freddie was classically trained.

    Freddie is out on his own, but Orbison came closest.

    Axel Rose

    Maybe Robert Plant.



    I am not a big Billy Idol fan.
