How anyone can listen to "Somebody to Love" and not think Fredy is the GOAT...

Flipping amazing performance, my all time favorite of his. But as far as tgoat, that's such an absurd concept when it comes to essence of what music is. You can go to some cheesy-arse music college like Lee University and there are dozens of singers who have multi-octave ranges, flawless technique and overall facility better than 99 percent of the great rock singers... but you could hardly listen to more than 1-2 minutes of any of them before you'd lose interest. Music itself is so independent from judgments like this because what may move one person at a certain moment may be the worst possible thing to hear for another's moment. I fricken' love FM but if he sang every song that I like I'd also fricken' hate the sound of his voice by now. He's one of many greats for sure.
