I loved Queen and Freddie Mercury had a voice that was unique. Nobody will ever replace him in the group.
My little son liked them too... his favourite was A Kind of Magic. I think mine are Under Pressure, Radio Ga Ga, and We Are The Champions. I like all of them really but I guess these rate higher in my book than most.
So, do you have a favourite single, or do you prefer to name an album? Also, what do you think of the tribute groups who are around these days. Are any of them anywhere near Freddie Mercury's talent?

I love Queen and their music. My favorite has to be though the music from "Highlander" one and two. They did a fantastic job with the songs for that. "It's A Kind of Magic", "Who wants to live forever," and "Princes of The Universe" are some of my favorite songs. I also liked the music from "Flash Gordon" that they did. Yeah they did that one too. I like some of their other songs as well but those are my favorite.

Yes, I like Flash Gordon as well. I have lots of their songs. I was given a boxed set of theirs once.
Thank you for your response.

Yes, I would tend to agree with you. That song was released at a very poignant time.

Yes there are a few and I really don't think I can pick one out and say I don't like it. I love all of Freddie's songs.
Thank you for your response.

Favourite album 'Night at the Opera', favourite songs - Love of My Life, We Will Rock You, Under Pressure, Bohemian Rhapsody, A Kind of Magic. I've only heard one tribute band, they played on our local park, and they were rubbish - can't remember thier names, thankfully! I think Freddie Mercury will never 'die' because he lives on through his music.

I like under pressure too auntyann, and my son's favourite was A Kind of Magic.
I agree with your last statement. Freddie was one of the all-time greats but without him, Queen will never hold up. Thank you for your response.

I just adore Queen and Freddie! I heard he had voice of 4 octaves! Amazing! My favourite songs are Too Much Love Will Kill You, Bohemian Rhapsody and One Year Of Love! And favourite albums are Made In Heaven (I thing Freddie did the best singing in this album) and A Kind Of Magic! I never heard any of tribute bands, I don't think I'll like them, because noone can replace or be like Freddie Mercury! Only a bad copy!

Thank you for your response stravagante and please accept my apologies for not coming back earlier, but things have been a bit hectic around my neck of the woods.
I've seen two tribute bands. They were neither of them too bad but neither of the lead singers could touch Freddie's voice. They tend to shout, rather than sing.

I am a huge fan as well. I saw them in concert in 1975 and was blown away by the quality of the music. I don't think we've seen anyone approach Mercury's talent recently, or soon will.
My favorite songs...
Somebody to Love
Radio Gaga
The Show Must Go On
I Want It All
Princes of the Universe
Don't Stop Me Now
But I don't think there's a "bad" Queen song, like them all.

I agree with you here, Oldiebut. There is not a bad song amongst those that Queen recorded, and there will never be anybody to touch Freddie Mercury's vocal talent. Good choice of songs too.
Thank you for your response.

No I agree Freddie will never be replaced, just the same as the Elvis impressionists don't cut it.
Your choices are both good ones. Thank you for your response.

Yes, they're three great ones. I like them all. lol. Queen were great when Freddie Mercury was with them, but I'm afraid they're going to feel their loss, greatly.
Thank you for your response.
