Freddie's songs have balls,
THEY'RE THE ANTHEMS OF VICTORY!

Yeah! I know everytime I win something I beak into a chorus of Killer Queen. :P

Beat it... just beat it

But really for me Freddie Mecury wrote 2 really awesome songs ... Bohemian Rhapsody and We are the Champions. A lot of the other stuff wasn't even written by Mercury ( like we will rock you, another one bites the dust)

For me, it's Freddie.

The first CD I ever bought was Queen's "A Kind of Magic".
(As of today I've got several Queen CDs but none of MJ.)

Amazing album. Great movie, too (Highlander).

Mercury. Just my preference and personal opinion.

Yesss...
Although I will have to get the soundtrack one day as "A Kind of Magic" doesn't have some songs from the movie like "Hammer to fall", "New York, New York" and maybe some others.

Mercury 4 life

"Hammer to fall" is from a different album (The Works), which is pretty good by itself. "New York, New York" by Queen never captured my attention somehow. I watched that movie a long time ago.

The only adult Jackson besides Michael that was huge in the US was Janet. Tito, Jermaine, LaToya and whatever other random Jackson sure as hell weren't huge here. In fact the only things huge about them were the huge career flops they produced. And I wouldn't say that Janet Jackson's album's "barely registered" outside the US. Not amazingly popular , but still enough to have her albums peak with a top 10 position of many album charts outside the US.

I think we can all agree it's down to personal preference, and they were both incredibly gifted.

But I'll add another +1 for Freddie anyway. :-)

I think we all should agree that this thread is more like Queen versus Michael Jackson...because that's really what is going on.

Freddie. Without a second of hesitation.

Didn't Pepsi give him that title? :-)
