Ok, we know that Freddie likes music of Beatles and J.Hendrix, and the '50 masterpieces. Are there other groups or authors that influenced Freddie in '70 and in '80? In other words, what kind of music was listened by Freddie?

Posts in chronological order
A few people whom Freddie liked were Aretha Franklin, David Bowie, Michael Jackson Mick Jagger. Not very hard to see why as all are very talented.
Also Led Zeppelin ( I know they've had a great influence on Bri too...evident ) and Liberace influence on Freddie alot.
Not forgetting 'Free' of course
He was a fan of Smile, which Brian and Roger was members of.
He enjoyed listening to Monserrat Caballe (not sure if I spelt her name right) before he worked with her.

Frederick Chopin was his favourite composer and he really was very good indeed. I'm going to see his grave in Paris the day after the gig at Le Zenith (apparently Jim Morrison from The Doors is buried in the same graveyard).
I`d say, from 1972 onwards, that Fred`s main influence was himself.
Jimi Hendrix, also......he was a big influence on Freddie........apparently Freddie used to draw sketches of him...

true Sebastian.........Freddie was one of those very few we can call one of a kind.........
well I also read that Freddie also liked Tears for Fears, he said it was a soft but direct music, and of course all the names you wrote before, but as Sebastian said, he was his inspiration. I think each one has to be his/her own inspiration in order to have a great and unique life.
Freddie liked the psychadelic group The Pretty Things.
I do know that Freddie's favourite song was Somebody To Love
...and I think there are some quotes of his that mention Edith Piaf, too.
