Better Frontman, Freddie Mercury vs Mick Jagger?

I can't even chose.

Their both so exciting and free.

I prefer Jagger by a wide margin.

Jagger put on the better show.

Mercury had the better voice.

Jagger had the showmanship, stamina, drama and a little glamour mixed with a bad boy reputation.

Mercury had the showmanship, voice, stamina, drama and a little glamour.

They both are great frontmen in their own way.

Hmm, this is a little hard to say who was better but I can see how Jagger or Mercury could be "the better frontman" but we can go all day discussing that.

Good points. I agree.

I can't choose. Both are great in their own way.

Both were perfect 4 the situation they were in.

I like Mercury way better but I don't think they could have switched bands and it would have worked.

Exactly. It's what they call "fate". Like Mick was destined to work with Keith, Charlie, Brian, Bill and 'em and Freddie would end up with Brian, Roger and John. I can never imagine Mick with Queen and Freddie with the Stones, extreme opposites.

I can say with quite a degree of certainty that Mick Jagger is superior to Freddie Mercury and all Mercury-affiliated materials in every way. It's not even a debate.

I didn't, Grammys never shown in Europe.. The entire realm of '70s spandex cat-suit rock is unlistenable to me.

Heard that the Ali G/Bruno guy's gonna play Freddie in a biopic.

From what I've read, it's either a rumor or he was considered. Don't know what's going on with that biopic.

yes, the stones are a dirtier bluesier band, and queen is a more melodic and dramatic band. They were both as good as they could have possibly been for their respective bands

Tough, tough call....

....disregarding the the other band members around them (Keith is THE man!!)...and their material, you gotta go with Freddie....

....MUCH better voice, better sense of humour, bigger presence, equal to Jagger in the energy stakes.
