I LOVE Led Zepplin.

I am meh toward Queen.

Freddy was better. Live, recorded, didn’t matter.

could compare Freddie's voice to the sunlight because it's so bright. To the sun because it's so fierce. To the air because it's so refreshing. To the fire because it takes away your breath. To the streams and the rivers because it's so diverse. To a meadow filled with every flower because Freddie's voice is so sweet. I could compare it to a diamond because its so multi-facted. And sheer power? I could compare Freddie's voice to a hypernova, to gamma ray bursts
Plant's voice lives in Mercury's shadow. The world will knows what Queen fans already know.
On stage Freddie had presence. He had style with grace. He was joy, he was fun, he was life. He was flamboyant, jubilant, and playful, he taunted and teased the audience. He was enthralling and intoxicating. Freddie projected warmth and charisma with strength and power and that's very seductive.

Were you one of his boyfriends?I don’t think I’ve ever seen an admiration expressed like that before on this board.

Plant was the template for the frontmen that came after him = standing there trying to be sexy for the women.

Mercury was more interested in putting on a specticle - visually.

Mercury was the better singer because of his operatic range.

I'm as straight as a calibrated arrow and I think Freddie Mercury might be one of the top 10 voices ever recorded.

Robert Plant is awesome, but Freddy Mercury was a generational talent. Too bad he batted for the wrong team.

Plant all day, Mercury was just pseudo operatic theater.
