Who was the better front/singer man Jim Morrison or Freddie Mercury?

I have to go with Freddie on this one. He could sing, he could write, and man, oh, man could the man give a SHOW! Not to mention, he remains one of the most charismatic AND enigmatic people in the world to date.

People love Queen in great part because of WHO Freddie was, not just because the music was fantastic. The Doors played great music, don't get me wrong, but Queen has stood the test of time like almost no one else...and a HUGE part of that is because of Freddie Mercury. :D.

I have a soft spot for "the Doors so it has to be Jim Morrison.

Okay as much as I love Jim Morrison I gotta go with Freddy. Morrison wasn't passionate on stage, he was wasted! Freddy had passion!

He loved being on stage and it showed! Freddy hands down!

Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison-Morrison! Forever and ever without contest. Don't get me wrong, I liked Mercury but his voice never had the passion and power of Jim Morrison.

Good choice Hyph! The only thing is Jim would often be "in his cups' while Freddie almost always gave a great show. Its a really tough one for me but suppose for the mystique will go with Morrison too.

Oh, on an interesting note: once knew a fellow who was in a band in Florida that played on the same bill as the Doors before they made it and he said the Doors would swipe their equipment every chance they got...lol!

That's completely a question of taste. Morrison embodied the troubled and rebellious sort of side of a rock singer, while Freddie was flamboyance and Rock singer spectacle embodied...so if you put them together you would have....David Bowie.

Jim was a bit of a 'one trick pony' - if he was an actor he would have been Nick Cage - lacking real depth and range. Whereas Mercury would have been a bit more of a Dick Van Dyke - not serious, but a vaudeville style level of old school talent.

Freddie hands down. He was a showman, great voice and a charisma.

Freddie Mercury was an extremely talented musician, singer, song writer, and remarkable front man who owned the crowd at any show. There really is no comparison between Jim Morrison and Freddie Mercury, except they both fronted popular bands. But think about it; would you want to go see a drugged out, melancholy, introverted flaneur mumble through the band's hit tunes and mind numbing, seemingly neverending "jams" or a stunningly talented showman leading his prodigiously gifted bandmates through hit after hit on stage?

Irregardless, they both entertained us and made everlasting imprints on our music.

Freddie Mercury, undoubtedly. I like Jim Morrison more as a poet and lyricist.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
