That's hilarious. I don't know anyone outside that forum who thinks McCartney is one of the world's greatest singers. |

It'd be pretty funny if we'd all go over there and vote for Freddie:-) It's a funny read. A similar topic on here would give completely the opposite reactions:-) |
| Band Forever 11.04.2012 16:23 |
Queen are the biggest and best band artists 'official' Best Singer: Freddie Mercury Best Guitarist: Brian May for unique sound and musicianship Best Bass: John Deacon - wished he was still playing but I guess all good things must end at some point. Roger Taylor: Top 3 Drummer with Bonham and Phil Collins. |
| Doga 11.04.2012 16:36 |
This is bullshit! Who really cares nothing about PMC fans? Of course they prefer Mr. Rodgers voice and style, because is similar to McCartney. Maybe they think Queen and Freddie are too exotic and bombastic. But who cares? The rest of the world (minus America and homophobic nazis) are with Fred. This post is in the ''serious'' discussion??? This must be in ''Ridiculous'' discussion. |

What a crock!!!!!! McCartney having a good voice let alone better than Mercury??? He always sounds like he has a cold when he sings, very nasaly and boring!! |

Deacon does not compare to Geddy Lee or Chris Squire. And Taylor doesn't quite measure up to Neil Peart, Bill Bruford or Phil Collins. And that's just within rock. There are jazz players and studio musicians who could play circles around all of them. That said - the four men that comprised Queen were perfect for each other, and all are lacking without each other. |

| ActionFletch 12.04.2012 06:44 |
Gee, fans can be narrow minded - mcCartney had a terrific voice, have a listen to Long Tall Sally sung in one take. His range is pretty good too, I don't know the exact technicalities of the notes but I know a lot of his songs will test many a vocalist. Paul recorded My Brave Face while Queen were recording The Miracle, have a listen, it's probably the only time he bothered to multi layer vocals. He just never got into it. |
| john bodega 12.04.2012 06:52 |
In spite of his hit and miss ratio concerning good songs vs. really crappy twee ones, Macca's a pro. You don't always hear him get the praise he deserves among rock vocalists, and maybe that's because the Beatles were best received when they sung together - who knows. He has the goods though, whether one likes him or not. He's sort of the Michael Schumacher of rock'n'roll. Might be a douche, but he's at the top for a reason. |
| Dane 12.04.2012 08:01 |
Saw McCartney perform last month. Must say, he can still reach the high notes and has a very soothing familliar voice. And he is a great songwriter. Now when you look at Freddie you'll instantly notice the extra power he brings... |
| liam 12.04.2012 09:21 |
I love the Beatles but come on. Paul sounds pretty crap sometimes, dull, strained and nasaly. Beatles were never about the quality of the singing - none of them had really great voices. I prefer Johns singing to Pauls. |

First off: I really do like The Beatles. Not everything, and I have to admit I lean towards George Harrison, but I do like it. Having said that, anyone who thinks Paul is in any way an exceptional vocalist doesn't know what they are talking about, as the 'arguments' on the website in the original post clearly show. |

You come across as a mean spirited person if you wish to label the opinions of others as "don't know what they are talking about". Who put you in a position to decide on the matter? I suppose you'll find out when you look in the mirror. In my subjective opinion most polls about greatest singers ignore black singers, who could sing circles around overrated self-destructive douches like Freddy Mercury. Oh, and anyone who claims otherwise, simply doesn't know what they are talking about.

| Heavenite 14.04.2012 10:44 |
Wow! What a couple of crazy threads. Personal taste is a subjective thing. That Darth Vader guy was so absolute in his opinions. And I guess we all know on here that he really didn't the Queen catalogue at all as he didn't recognise that list of songs that were put to him. Although I guess he was on a Mac site as he kept saying. I love The Beatles, they're a wonderful band. I just happen to enjoy Queen. Doesn't make it right, but it makes me happy. And I enjoy listening to both groups. |
| Heavenite 14.04.2012 10:51 |
Think I better clarify that. I enjoy Queen "more". But I enjoy The Beatles too. And I have one McCartney solo album called "Press to Play", so I'm not expert on his stuff. Its pretty good if not earth shattering. Have never heard Jet so can't comment. |
| john bodega 15.04.2012 03:23 |
Press To Play? Really? Christ's sake, do yourself a favour - throw that in the bin and go crank "Maybe I'm Amazed". |
| ActionFletch 15.04.2012 04:29 |
McCartney is reissuing his solo stuff this year, his debut album, Band On The Run and McCartney II have been released with RAM to follow.. I loved the debut and it's extra live tracks, they have a back to basics organic feel about them. However, I bought Band ON The Run, after hearing how brilliant it was supposed to be, and, well really, apart from the title track I was utterly, utterly underwhelmed. Not happy!! Macca has never put out a complete masterpiece, but I'd recommend McCartney and Flowers In The Dirt. There's just so much rubbish littered amongst his solo work. |
| Heavenite 15.04.2012 05:11 |
Hi Zebonka Thanks for the heads up. Press to Play wasn't what I was expecting at all, that's for sure. Its a bit all over the place really. but it has grown on me once I got over the shock. Hi ActionFletch Thank you too mate. The song "Band on the Run" has never done anything for me either. Wasn't crazy about Silly Love Songs too, but I thought Mull of Kintyre and No More Lonely Nights deserved everything they got. So my impression is that his solo stuff is a bit hit or miss, unlike the Beatles stuff I've heard, which I love. |

I'd disagree with you, but I can't imagine anyone else singing Maybe I'm Amazed or Live And Let Die right? By proxy those performances put him in world's greatest singer territory. It ain't all about hitting 5ths above 3rds below or technique. You know what? I've built an identical copy of Brian's Red Special. The general consensus on the nerd boards is that if you don't play it exactly like Brian you're a hack...surely variety is the spice of life eh? |
| Holly2003 15.04.2012 09:37 |
When did I say anything "about hitting 5ths above 3rds"? Did I suggest he was an awful singer or that he doesn't have any musical ability? Did I suggest there's only one type of singer? Any discussion about whether or not he's one of the world's greatest singers would have to first define parameters. But frankly, those are pointless discussions I'm uninterested in taking part in. My point is that on a McCartney forum OF COURSE they're going to say he's the greatest! What's the point in even arguing with them! If someone started a thread here Fred would naturally come out on top. But its all pointless. Now, about McCartney. He's an egotistical twat whose solo career is marked by mediocrity and cheese. However, as a member of The Beatles, he was part of something rather more impressive. Is he a great singer? I really don't care. I like the sound of his voice when he performs ballads but it's a bit grating sometimes when he does harder stuff. You can make oif that what you will. I really don't give a hoot. |

What a potty mouth! Paul's fans don't seem very nice. And I told you I'm not Flash Jazz. Your fixation is a bit odd. While I'm on fixations, did you know Paul was totally OBSESSED with Bret Michaels from Poison? I didn't even know who the hell he was! Had to look him up. But Paul had this one room in the cellar plastered with nothing but sheet music from 'Every Rose Has it's Thorn'. Every spot where the lyrics and music were credited to Bret Michaels Paul scratched out his name in a way that was just...not sane...and wrote in 'PAUL MCCARTNEY' in red Sharpie. I caught him down there in nothing but his underpants one evening, sobbing, and I said "Paul, you're a bloody legend! Knock this off for heaven's sake." and he just kept yelling "I'm a fraud! I'm a fraud!" over and over and rubbing something all over his chest. I think it was brie. Whatever. I just went upstairs, made myself a drink and watched Eastenders on the telly. Honestly I can't imagine how I lasted four years. |

Then he'd use my mint chenille throw cushions as serviettes and still manage to find the nerve to come and ask me to rub his feet until he burped. I should have got £24.3 just for that. |
