Favorite Members of the Band Queen
This has to be the hardest list to ever vote on since I love them all so, so much. But here it is.
Tell us who your favorite is! Queen will live on forever. DEACY AND FREDDIE, COME BACK.

Freddie Mercury
Freddie Mercury was a Zanzibar-born British singer of Indian descent, songwriter, and record producer best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the rock band Queen. He achieved fame for his flamboyant stage persona and remarkable four-octave vocal range.... read more
Freddie had a voice like no other. He could sing high notes in My Fairy King, Under Pressure, and Cool Cat. His voice went really low in In The Lap Of The Gods.
Freddie had emotion in his voice. When he sings, we know how he feels. When we hear today's pop divas sing, we have no idea if they're feeling happy, sad, angry, because they have no emotion in their voices.
Freddie is also sexy. He's sexy with or without a moustache, with or without a beard, long hair or short hair. I have a big crush on Freddie. He was sexy in the 70s and 80s, but I've got to admit, he didn't look good in the 90s. He was very sick, but he still had his voice.
His voice was just perfect. He could sing anything, and his voice had emotion.
Listen to Love of My Life and you'll find the sweet, nice voice. Killer Queen shows elegance, and then switch over to We Will Rock You to hear the tough voice. If you want to hear the loud voice, try Another One Bites the Dust.
He was also really good at playing the piano in my opinion, such as in Don't Stop Me Now, and he was a great stage performer. Despite that, he was a very nice person. Pure talent on everything.

Brian May
Brian Harold May (born July 19, 1947) is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and astrophysicist. He is best known as the lead guitarist of Queen. He co-founded the band in 1970 and contributed iconic guitar parts and vocal harmonies to hits like Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, and Another One... read more
Last but certainly not least, we have our lovely Brian. Brian wrote many great songs, his biggest being "Fat Bottomed Girls." He is still rocking out there and I am sure he will for a long time. He made his own guitar from a fireplace and some other stuff you wouldn't exactly expect, and plays with the Deacy amp, homemade by John from rubbish and parts of a skip.
He is a pretty cool guy! He has a doctorate degree in Astrophysics. He wrote a lot of my favorite songs like We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Fat Bottomed Girls, Hammer to Fall, It's Late, Save Me, Who Wants to Live Forever, The Show Must Go On, and All Dead, All Dead. All of these songs are amazing!

Roger Taylor
Roger Meddows Taylor is an English musician, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter born on July 26, 1949, in King's Lynn, Norfolk. He is best known as the drummer of the legendary rock band Queen and contributed to several of their major hits, including "Radio Ga Ga," "A Kind of Magic," and the... read more
Roger is above Brian, but I could put them as one because both were musical geniuses. But I put Roger above Brian for now. Roger has written many hits including Radio Gaga and I'm In Love With My Car.
Many find him the most attractive but don't vote for Roger just because of that! He was one of the best drummers ever and his style can never be replicated. And lest we forget, Roger is pretty nice looking.
I picked Roger not because of talent etc., but because as far as favorites go, Roger would have to be mine. He constantly wears a smile and has a silly easygoing vibe about him. Plus, he's sassy as hell.

John Deacon
John Richard Deacon (born August 19, 1951) is a retired English musician best known as the bassist for the rock band Queen. He joined the band in 1971 and contributed to several of their biggest hits, including Another One Bites the Dust and You're My Best Friend. Deacon retired from music in the late... read more
John Deacon should be third right behind Brian May and Roger Taylor. Those three make a good power trio. Freddie Mercury is a good singer, but he's just the extra guy and he is the least important member of the band because he doesn't play any other instruments except the piano, and even then Brian May can play the piano. Singers are always overrated and almost always the least talented unless they play another instrument, because singing is much easier than playing guitar, piano, bass, or drums.
I like the fact that he's a nice, shy, and quiet person. Unfortunately, he has suffered from depression and he retired from the band and professional music. He is so missing as Freddie Mercury.
Great bassist and good songwriter. Wish him all the best. Perhaps, some day he will find the will and the way to reunite with Brian May and Roger Taylor - if he really wants it. Even if it should be only for a guest performance. If not, we'll accept that. Be happy, John!

Adam Lambert
Adam Mitchel Lambert (born January 29, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and stage actor. He rose to prominence as the runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol in 2009. Since then, he has sold over 2.5 million albums and five million singles worldwide.
I know Brian and Roger tried to find a lead singer because they weren't ready to quit yet. Adam Lambert is good at singing. He really is, but he just can't replace Freddie Mercury. It's impossible. Freddie is irreplaceable.

Paul Rodgers
Paul Bernard Rodgers is an English singer, songwriter, and musician. He achieved fame in the late 1960s and 1970s as the lead vocalist of the rock bands Free and Bad Company. Rodgers is celebrated for his powerful voice and has continued to tour and record music both as a solo artist and with other bands... read more
