    Controversial - I don't like them.

    Can fully appreciate his showmanship right enough.

    We are the Champions would be my favourite but only because of Celtic.

    Never been a fan. I had a mate who was big into them and he literally had a face like a Fife farmer when I said I didn't like them.

    Think they are brilliant- Freddie was one of the best ever performers. Dozens of classic songs, the Wembley stadium concert film is brilliant

    Really dislike them. Brian May's a talented guitarist but I don't like their sound at all.

    Hard to find another who could command a stage and an audience as much as Mercury could.

    Some excellent songs, timeless ones infact.

    Their Live Aid spot will go down in history as one of the best live performances of all time.

    I saw them live & they were.... meh!

    Some good moments but I've seen lots of better bands. Outside of half a dozen songs I found them quite boring.

    They were definitely on the way out when Live Aid gave them a career extension.

    Another one bites the dust is my favourite.

    The Prophet's Song or March Of The Black Queen.

    Nobody will ever write a song like Bohemian Rhapsody again. Unbelievable.

    I Want It All is probably my favourite.

    Went through a spell of listening to them a lot a few years back but found myself deleting songs of theirs on my iPod to make space :56:

    Side note, I remember at uni a fellow Celtic fan questioning me for having a Queen cd as they were too Brit for him #uberTim

    Freddie was a genius imo. Under pressure is a classic

    Very rare that you find bands with each member having incredible talent for writing tunes.
    I've not heard a band that has come close to matching them and I feel that they are the greatest band of all time. Opinion.

    Innuendo has some outstanding vocal performances, considering the man was less than a year from death.

    Hit after hit after hit.

    Love them or hate them you can't deny they made some amazing tunes.

    I only know their more famous * but that could probably cover 2 or 3 albums.

    Fat bottomed girls is a personal favourite.

    Also, Don't Stop me Now, even if it is about him shooting his muck up another mans * :giggle1: It's a fantastic song.
