I haven't but I plan on it. I was born in 1961 so Queen was a part of my growing up and coming of age in my 20's. I've watched loads of interviews and clips and it looks like it's going to be one hell of a ride. There is a lot of Oscar talk about the film.
Oddly, while I am a fan of Queen's, that particular song isn't even close to my favorite and I have about 10 of their songs on my device. More than most of the artists I have. I've never understood how loved that song is because I don't think it's there best work at all.
Anyway if you saw it post your impressions.
IMO there are a very small number, maybe 5, frontmen in the history of modern music that you could build a case for being the best frontman of all time and Freddie Mercury is on that list. I'm curious what the overall list would be from everyone else.
Mine would be Prince, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, David Lee Roth.....................and I'm not sure whom else to put in with that group. Freddie would take first place, after that I can't rank them. Lots of people just don't have all the facets to get on the list.
