I love Freddie Mercury's work too, but I mean seriously, better than Lennon? That's just foolish.

To each his own, or something. :)

By the way, I once saw this picture from above and behind of Freddie standing at the edge of the stage, wifebeater on, arms raised victoriously while the entire crowd was fucking rocking out. Would anyone know where I could find such a photograph?

"Thanks for your support Matlock. Lennon is weaksauce. I want to ride my bicycle I want to ride my bike. I want to ride my BICYCLE, I want to ride it where I like!"

On second look, doesn't that look like a less masculine version of the sherrif dude in Deadwood?

I realized how awesome Freddie Mercury was when Green Day tried to cover "We Are the Champions". I miss Freddie. :(

But better than John Fucking Lennon? Lennon > Jesus > Freddie Mercury.

David Bowie is impressed by this man he's meeting. David fuckin' Bowie.


Look at him, a vessel for pure rock.


And tens of thousands of people of all paths and beliefs coming to watch the man himself.

You just can't deny this.

I agree.

Mercury had one of the GREATEST rock voices EVER.

He could hit any noted he wanted at will. HUGELY talented and taken away far too soon.

Keep sucking up to him, and maybe he'll give you a call.

The Who is the best band of all time. BEYOTCH! :p

Maybe people have forgotten that with each album Queen released, they got more and more sucky.

A Night at the Opera and a Day at the Races both secure spots in my top 10 albums of all time though. :rock

This thread would be infinitely more interesting if you debated, say, the merits of Beppo the Super-Monkey, weighing them against those of Comet the Super-Horse.

Freddie Mercury had one hell of a voice, I'll give him that. Probably one of the best, if not THE best, rock vocalists. It's so sad that he died.

You forgot to include this sexy, talented mother-fuckers in your thread, Matlock. For shame!

Noel and Liam Gallagher.

And for good measure, some quotes from Noel!

"I'm equal part genius, equal part buffoon"

"Rock'n'Roll is about music. Music. Music. Music. It's not about you, it's not about me, it's not about Oasis. It's about the songs"

"Progression is going forwards. Going backwards is regression. Going sideways is just aggression."

"We're not arrogant, we just believe we're the best band in the world."

"I'm not John Lennon. I'm not trying to say anything. I'm just trying to entertain people"

"It is hard to be modest at times like these so I won't even try...you are all shite!"

"What, you askin' me if I'm happy? Listen, I've got eighty seven million pounds in the bank. I've got a Rolls Royce. I've got three stalkers. I'm about to go on the board at Manchester City. I'm part of the greatest band in the world. Am I happy with that? No I'm not! I want more!"

Noel > Liam > Freddie. It's FACT.

This thread is full of shit.

Freddie Mercury is great, so is John Lennon (personally I think no one can touch Lennon). But why the fuck have we got the Oasis boys in here?!?!

Again, this thread is full of shit :lol

Because they're one of the best bands in the history of all music. That's why. Don't hate to hide your own insecurities about the tripe you listen to.

well john lennon had his cock sucked by another guy once so your theory is sort of bashed.

no it isn't. Lennon just sampled the cock, he didn't love the cock like Mercury did. he loved it to death. literally.

Blasphemous? Perhaps. But I'd probably agree with it. I enjoy Queen much more than the Beatles, personally.

Okay come on now people, let's get serious. There's no fucking way Queen were better than The Beatles! No Fucking Way! Though I think Freddie Mercury had the better voice of the two, and more sheer talent, John was just a better songwriter overall, and probably in the top 5 of all-time as far as song-writers go.

The Glimmer Twins were better songwriters than any of the Beatles.

Rolling Stones > Queen > Oasis > Beatles
