As part of the 6 part series in which the Beeb are presenting the essential elements which make up the perfect band - get your vote in for Queen..........and Freddie (the singers are up first followed by guitarist, drummer and bassist) now: link
and why should he be? i can think of seven guitarists i prefer to Brian - so he wouldn't get my vote.
randy rhoads
joe satriani
ritchie blackmore
alex lifeson
tom scholz
eric clapton
david gilmour
for me, it'e not about any of queen being the greatest at their art, it's the sum of the parts. and even then (imo) they still came second to the beatles
