Freddie's solos

What do you think of the work Freddie has done without Queen?

Well, it is not bad, some ideas are very good though I don't like those songs which sound too disco or too commercial pop... It's a matter of tastes, I believe, but anyway I keep on liking him most as a Queen member... Nothing from his solo production can reach the level of what he did with the quartet... Whatever a genius he was, four brains work better than just one!!!

Albyboy

I think it's terrible, a few good ones

Barcelona has some excellent tracks on it. Mr Bad Guy has some terrible 80's crap songs and some nice ones. Overall, I think Freddie has the least interesting solo career (not counting The Immortals as a solo-career).

I like his solo-work, but some song really sound like eachother. But i do love Love Kills!!

My favorite of all is In My Defense. It sometimes makes me cry.

I like Barcelona album more than anything from the band except `39

The Barcelona album is just a piece of Genius :D

I quite like Mr Bad Guy aswell. I was born to love you and Love me like theres no tommorow are great! :)

In My Defence rocks. Well..not really. It more pianos than rocks.

hey his solos are great.

The whole barcelona album is genius , mr bad guy , love me like theres no tomorrow , living on my own , i was born to love you , made in heaven , in my defence ,time so his solo production is also great after all

Barcelona is great, Mr Bad Guy is crap (apart from 2-3 tracks), The Freddie Mercury Album (aka The Great Pretender) is still bad, although better than Bad Guy...
I love The Solo Collection- but it's mostly because it's a great example of what the box set should look like...

Mr. Bad Guy isn't amazing, mostly because of the overuse of synths, but there are some great tracks on there, like There Must Be More To Life Than This, Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow, Made In Heaven, etc. And Barcelona's amazing. I think it definitely should receive more credit as an album.

I haven't really heard many but i think Barcelona's amazing and although Living on My Own is too pop I've grown a liking to it strangely! I think his voice's amazing wateva he's singing!

I like all is music. I've bought the solo collection (the day of its release) and there are beautiful songs we didn't know (the demos).
Freddie is a wonderful songwritter & singer.

I remember watching that 'Untold story' documentary and hearing one guy saying his solo work is the work of a musical genius. And I have to disagree on that one lol. I thin his work with the band was genius, but all alone it seems to lose some feathers. I don't like the very '80 pop sound of Mr. Bad Guy. I absolutely adore 'Time', 'In my defense' and 'Made in heavens', probably because they sound more like classic pop. 'Living on my own' makes me gnaw at my knuckles.

Barcelona is better, I love most of the songs.
