I love all the Queen members. They are sexy. xD
However, I wouldn't ever want to fuck any of them. The only people I'd want them have sex with would be each other. And that's wayyyy back, yeh, in the early 70s. XD

Wow, when I first read the subject title, I was thinking, "Why the hell would this person post something like that on a Queen notice board?" But after reading your entry, I can't agree more. I adore Freddie (duh), but I wish people would realize that Queen was a group effort. Anyone who is a huge fan would know that that was exactly what they always tried to get across to people. Queen consisted of 4 equal parts, and I'm sure it bugged the crap out of them when fans and journalists refused to acknowledge all of their talents.
Cookies... you like fanfiction. I know where you can find exactly that if you are interested... ;)
oops... i'm trying to ask you if you like fanfiction.

I do the same thing with my grandmother. She also likes Roger, but she definiely prefers Freddie. Whenever I mention one of the other Queen members, she always asks about Freddie and wishes to talk about that instead.

I explained this-
the thing with Roger and us girls is that we think he was really hot in the 70s-80s years and he was!! Many girls thought so. He was very cute in his day, but now, he's not the same. now, he's old and I don't think about ohh he's so hot when I see him today. Oh, and we know that "he's not young anymore and he's never going to look that way again" Yeah we know, but we're just staing a fact about then and how much we'd love to meet him and all that.

ANYway, I think one of them actually said that Queen were greater than the sum of their parts. I have heard one of Freddie's solo albums and I own two of Rogers. They are all terrible. I haven't heard any of Brian's but I suspect that his are shite too. Okay musucianship, but no soul, no decent pop hooks - nothing for people to latch on to. If Freddie was the life and soul of Queen I would have thought that his solo efforts woud have done much better.
Individually they are awesome, creative musicians, but it seems that they had some amazing chemistry as a band that really allowed them to produce fantiastic songs.
I think that the "Sound of Queen" is not Freddie's vocals or Brians guitar, but perhapsthe vocal harmonies they produced - very distinctive, and relied on Roger Freddie and Brian. I think all four of them were critical to the success of Queen.
And despite what someone said earlier about Freddie writing 10 out of 17 of their hits, I think they all had considerable input into each other's songs. I think almost all of their songs were a musical collaboration. I remember reading that Freddie said that whoever wrote the lyrics got the credit. They changed their minds about this in the late 80s when they realised that all four contributions were equally as important - hence the credit to "Queen".
I better put in a word for John here: Freddie may have written Body Language, and Roger have written A Kind of Magic but John put down the baseline which MADE those songs.

IMO 'Back To The Light' outdoes any Queen album.
> I think that the "Sound of Queen" is not Freddie's vocals or Brians guitar, but perhapsthe vocal harmonies they produced
If so, then John wasn't as important as the others. And Fred would still be more important than Brian or Roger since many of those distinctive harmonies have his voice overdubbed more times than theirs, or are just by one of them (e.g. 'Love Of My Life' is all Freddie, 'I'm In Love With My Car' is all Roger, 'Leaving Home Ain't Easy' is all Brian).
> I think all four of them were critical to the success of Queen.
Of course, but it doesn't mean that the four of them were *equally* critical. A person can't live without lungs, but it doesn't mean that they're equally important as the brain.
> I think almost all of their songs were a musical collaboration.
Hardly.
> I remember reading that Freddie said that whoever wrote the lyrics got the credit.
Misquoted comment IMO. Note that Bri got a credit for 'Is This The World' and 'Mother Love', being Fred the lyricist in both cases.
> They changed their minds about this in the late 80s when they realised that all four contributions were equally as important - hence the credit to "Queen".
Yes and no ... long story.
> I better put in a word for John here: Freddie may have written Body Language, and Roger have written A Kind of Magic but John put down the baseline which MADE those songs.
The bassline in 'Body Language' is done by Fred on a synth, John didn't participate there. The leitmotif in 'Magic' is Fred's creation too. The fact that John was the bassist didn't mean he wrote all the bass lines; likewise, Brian didn't write all the guitar parts, Roger didn't write all the drum parts and Freddie didn't write all the lyrics or melodies. The four of them were capable of doing the entire arrangement, and in many cases they did. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Bri helping out on lyrics for both 'A Hard Life' and 'Friends Will Be Friends', and Fred re-arranging 'Ga Ga' and 'Magic'. Even by "outsiders": Peter Straker came up with some lines that would end on 'Slightly Mad', and even Fred's driver had some (few) lyrics thrown in somewhere.
So yes, Queen were a democracy and the four of them were vital, but it doesn't mean that they all contributed equally - it's obvious that Roger's input increased with time, and John's was minimal on the early period and on 'Innuendo'.

Again, I just don't recall seeing posts here where people have actually *denied* they were a group effort. Talking about your favourite member of the band and why you admire him is not akin to dissing the other three. It seems to me that the people who are angry about this fail to see the many posts praising Brian, Roger and John too.

Not discrediting, just stating some opinions and facts. I mean, considering Bri's solo stuff shite (even though you haven't bothered to listen to it, let alone with an open mind) is an opinion (even if I completely disagree). Thinking that John wrote the basslines because he was the bassist is a mistake (as I said, it'd be like thinking Fred wrote all the lyrics and melodies). And thinking that the bass on 'Body Language' is an actual (electric four-string) bass is another mistake. You're not "compelled" to know those things, but if you write on a public forum people may debate what you've "said", especially if it's misleading.

Well, bearing all that in mind I still consider the post discredited. Feel free to put wrongs right if you see them. Anyhoo, are you SURE the BL baseline is a synth? it sounds alot like a bass guitar to me. Nothing on the record that says so. Maybe you've seen them do it live? Why on earth would they want to synthesize a bass sound?
And I'm wrong to assume that Brian's solo stuff is bad - it probably isn't. It's hard to imagine Back to the Light being better than Queen's catalogue, could be a secret gem though.
I'm still firm in my opinion about the "Queen sound" though. The 3-way harmonies are incredibly distinctive, and they litter their material from beginning to end. I don't necessarily think that Freddie's voice was a more important component part of the trio. If anything I reckon its Roger's rasping falsetto that makes it distinctive.
A further opinion for fair game!
EDIT: Oh I think I better add that I think Freddie is the best Rock vocalist ever! (at least equal to Robert Plant)
