Freddie Mercury's Birthday

I got an E-mail from rock.com, where I have my e-mail set up, telling me that Today, September 5, is Freddie's Birthday so I decided to take a few moments to create a thread for him. Lets talk about one of the most influencial vocalist of all time. What do you think of him and his musis?

I for one love his voice and it was such a shame that he got Aids, I would have loved to be able to have had the chance to go see Queen in concert when he was still alive.

how come?

Maybe it's my dislike for Queen. His voice also doesn't really stand out for me.

RIP Freddie Mercury. You were a great and iconic man. Happy Birthday.

Moved to Music section.

Freddie Mercury was easily one of the best and most dynamic frontmen in the history of music. I also am a big fan of his vocal performance. Plus, he was important in raising awareness about AIDS in a time where not much was known about it and it was looked at like some sort of boogeymonster-type disease.

Freddie Mercury. Boy, did that man have a set of pipes.

First song I knew all the words to was Bohemian Rhapsody. (Man was I a messed up 4 year old!)

The question here is: Which song of his/Queen's was most influential/powerful?

Happy Birthday Freddie!

I have always adored him and Queen. He is one of the most amazing vocalists.
And Queen is such a unique and exciting band.
Who can forget Flash Gordon? =D The Queen in that movie made the movie that much more awesome!

I think my favorite song by them would have to be Seven Seas of Rhye. Definitely. I feel like I am on an adventure when I am listening to it.
