I agree.. it's all about how one takes care of their voice.
I saw Jon Anderson of Yes a couple weeks back, and his voice is still its angelic high self at age 65. Just him and no band.. incredible show. James Labrie from Dream Theater is still at the top of his game as well, and he's pushing 50. Ronnie James Dio sounded incredible on the Heaven And Hell tour a few years back. There are plenty of examples.

Dennis Deyoung (Styx) is a great example: He sounds almost the same as 30 years back! He can still nail Roboto in its original key!

Paul Rodgers is another case. He was good in the 70's, but he's better now.
Also Dr May for some extent. I think he played guitar better in the past (especially in the 1986-1995 era), but his voice is just incredible now.

Not to mention UNDERUSED!
I'd trade a hundred collaborations with average WWRY singers for one more Brian album.

LMFAO!! Brian's and Roger's cords have held up well over the years, though!

held up well and incredible are 2 seperate things...I'll take rogers voice anyday over brians, but i wouldn't say he has an incredible voice. Why does this guy Sebastian continue to call brian Dr. May. kind of sounds like a stepford to me. Don't get me started with this zombaka, lol. clown. He's not even worth talking about.

Well, I wouldn't say Brian and Roger have "incredible" voices, but they have good voices and make excellent backing vocalists. Freddie is the one with the "incredible" voice.
Well, that's why this is a forum, people can (and do) disagree, there's nothing wrong about it.
I think from 1969 to 1999, Roger sang better than Brian. Nowadays, IMO, they're pretty much on the same level. And yes, IMO, both Roger and Dr May (there's nothing stepford about calling someone with a PhD, 'Dr...', just like there's nothing stepford about 'Sir Elton' or 'Dame Dench') have incredible voices now. At the same level as Freddie's? No. But yes... incredible. Though IMO Roger sang better in the early days.

Horses for courses. Choose the right voice for the right song and almost anyone can sound good. Within the Queen repetoire, I'd have liked Roger to sing Put Out the Fire instead of Fred, as I think his voice would suit it best. But imo the live veriosn of Modern Times Rock & Roll with Fred singing sounds better than the album version with Rog. On the other hand it's hard to imagine anyone in the band except Fred singing BoRap, Champions etc.
Interesting...I don't think I ever heard freddie sing modern times rock n roll...Have to check that one out on youtube if it's there. I think roger was hit or miss for me, but he nails that one. His voice is good for the hard rock stuff like tenament funster and modern times rock n roll. Now I'm curious how this sounds with freddie.
WoW, that kicked ass....Reminded of stoned cold crazy live...I don't think Queen get enough credit for helping to create thrash metal....They were so heavy live.

It's on the 3/31/1974 Rainbow performance!

yea, it was awsome. Now i love freddie's voice at wembley and the magic tour, but listen to him in the early to mid 70's. so much better IMO.
