Big hit wise taylor wrote kind of magic and radio ga ga. 

All his early stuff he sang himself - i too love 'I'm in love with my car' despite its ridiculousness - so none of them were singles. I'd love to know if freddie thought they were shit so refused to sing them or if taylor didn't want anyone else singing his songs. Or none of the above. 

Ah I didnt realise he wrote those, though I'm not much of a fan of kind of magic.

I reckon it was just a case of freddie being happy for the other band members to share the limelight. May always used to sing a song didnt he? (that 39 song plus did he sing a bit of love of my life? Might be wrong there).

John deacon wrote some crackers too. Spread your wings is well ace (as is the jacket freddie wears in the video..)

I don't think there's a 'right' answer to this.

It's neither Queen nor is it - given the presence of May and Taylor singing and playing songs that they wrote with the band - an ersatz karaoke version of Queen.

 

Schroedinger's Queen?

Still laughing over the fact someone thinks Queen weren't/aren't camp. QUEEN!

[Smeble]

I dare anyone to watch only the first 5 seconds of the video for 'I want to break free' and still try to claim Queen or at least Freddie aren't  camp.

The era of good headliners is well and truly over. 

We're doomed.

Last time I dug all three was 2009: Neil Young, The Boss and Blur. Cracking stuff!!!

Bless the people trying to argue Queen aren't camp because their videos include tits and motorbikes ;)

Queen are camp as fuck, clue's in the name. And every single other thing about them.

I'm surprised there's so much love for them actually, I think they're a pretty terrible band.

there still not QUEEN ..if PJ were ever to headline with out eddie vedder then they would not be PJ would they ...true

Eddie doesn't even sing all of their songs! I don't think the username guyeddievedderfan is taken if you want to ask Neil.

My mother in law loved Freddie Mercury and, even when he died, refused to accept he was gay. In her eyes, with the moustache, the hairy chest, the leather trousers and braces he was the epitome of pure manly heterosexual godliness!

What's the problem with the hairy chest?

Individually, nothing. Its the combination of all the above that should have alerted her!
