Freddie liked Aretha Franklin too.
Brian mentioned "Fire and Water" by Free as one of his favourite albums of all time long time before they joined forces with Paul Rodgers...
John i thought liked Stevie Wonder.
Freddie loved Prince and Boy George (no wonder his writing in 80s declined...)

freddie was a fan of motown stuff like the jackson 5, and of course roger loves the who, and john liked the police, nuff said.
I wanted (and still want) to know everything possible about Brian. :)
So I figured out who his favourites are (or were when he was a teenager). Now I'm trying to explore the works of these artists, some of them is familiar to me but there are a few I don't know at all.
Here's my list /and my comments, too/:
The Beatles /I underrated them for a long while, what a shame!/
Buddy Holly /Rock and roll performer, I saw a film about his life but I can hardly remember./
Lonnie Donnegan /Don't know who he is./
The Everley Brothers /Yet unknown for me./
Hank Marvin /Also unknown./
Smokey Robinson /Brian mentioned in an interview that his favourite song by Smokey was "Tracks of My Tears". Annie Lennox (my all-time favourite besides Brian) performed it live with Smokey too, and it's a beautiful song actually!!!/
Jeff Beck /I've been listening to his album called "Who Else!". That's an instrumental album, very similar to Gary Moore's style. Pleasant music./
Jimi Hendrix /I quite like it!/
Cream with Eric Clapton /I also like their and Eric's solo works. I noticed that Brian's "On My Way Up" gets me in the same mood as Eric's "After Midnight"./
Def Leppard /I'm not very keen on 80's rock./
Foo Fighters /I don't like them at all./
Van Halen /They have a couple of good riffs./
Status Quo /I like their songs from the 70's./
So, that's all for now I'll add more if I find something interesting! :)

I think you get an idea of their choices in the music video of Killer Queen...
Freddie loved The Jacksons & John Lennon...
I remember one of his friends telling how Freddie wore Jimi Hendrix pants & mimicked him in his college days...
According to his driver, he also liked Pink Floyd.
Bon Scott's death affected Freddie in some I think, I read it somewhere.

Didnt Freddie like Natalie Cole as well???
Ive read that...
And didnt he like gospel music arrangements??
I believe he and Peter Strakker (spelling?) would listen to it to get ideas for writing.
But John was much more into the funk/r'n'b catergory i think.

The who are underated in england, but in the states they get their respect. The who are amazing. someone mentioned freddie's love of prince and boy george, Freddie's musical taste was all over the place, that's what made the man so amazing, one minute he's talking about boy george then the next minute he's praising cabelle or aretha. I don't know anyone who's musical taste varies so much.
