Who do you think is the king of all rock and roll? (include reasons)?

I think that the king of rock is Freddie Mercury because of his incredible, un replicable vocal range along with the legendary, unforgettable songs that he's written and the influence he's brought to later stars. Also because of his incredible ability to play the piano.

A clip of him singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T36Ez1pq3…

Some songs that he wrote: Ogre Battle, The March of The Black Queen, The Seven Seas of Rhye, Killer Queen, Stone Cold Crazy, Death on Two Legs, Bohemian Rhapsody, Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy, Somebody to Love, We Are the Champions, Bicycle Race, Don't Stop Me Now, Play the Game, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Body Language, Under Pressure, It's a Hard Life, One Vision, Princes of the Universe, The Miracle, Breakthru, Innuendo, I'm Going Slightly Mad, Headlong, These Are the Days of Our Lives, Bijou, The Show Must Go On, Made in Heaven, Mother Love.

Some bands/singers that he influenced: Anthrax, Kurt Cobain, Def Leppard, The Killers, Green Day, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Marilyn Manson, Metallica, My Chemical Romance, Muse, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Styx, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Van Halen and Dream theater.





Answer :

That was my answer....I was prepared to write this big old blurb about why he is....but it looks like I don't need to convince you : DD

Just one reason is Bohemian Rhapsody alone. I mean, who can honestly come up with every single part of that song in thier head??





Answer :
Chuck Berry or Les Paul >Mercury did a lot of good things But real rock 'n roll wasn't one of them

Update :Are you guys joking?
There hasn't been a rock guitarist in the past 50 years that didn't learn to play on the instrument that Les Paul invented and perfected
There hasn't been rock band in the past 50 years that didn't use some of the recording techniques that Les Paul invented and perfected.

There also hasn't been a rock band in the past 50 years that didn't cut their teeth playing Chuck Berry songs first.
