12 comments so far (post your own)The only reason I don't see Freddie Mercury (or any other member of Queen for that matter) being inducted is because all four were inducted as a band. Posted by John Cady on Wednesday, 02/20/2013 @ 20:44pm |
He's in with Queen. No need to go by himself. Posted by BulmaPunkRocker on Monday, 07/7/2014 @ 01:14am |
Freddy wrote and recorded some great music without Queen. "Barcellona" and more. Posted by P. K. McFarland on Wednesday, 05/27/2015 @ 22:55pm |
They better not induct him just because he's getting so many votes at the museum. Posted by Roy on Sunday, 01/6/2019 @ 21:35pm |
I don't think they would. He didn't do enough as a solo artist to merit induction. Even though I like Mr. Bad Guy. Posted by Greg F on Sunday, 01/6/2019 @ 21:39pm |
Robert Plant, Ozzy Osbourne, and Phil Collins are more possible to get in for the second time than Freddie. But it's doubtful since he was one of those singers you still can't ignore. Posted by The Dude on Sunday, 01/6/2019 @ 22:20pm |
freddie mercury deserves single spotlight as well as band spotlight. Paul mcartney had a career after the Beatles why cant Freddie be inducted for his music he did away from Queen? Double standard i say Posted by Michael Cavaliere on Thursday, 05/28/2020 @ 09:39am |

I would tend to agree with the person who talked about Mercury as deserving of a solo induction, except for one thing. He never recorded a solo record! Everything he did was with Queen. Posted by Mike on Thursday, 05/28/2020 @ 12:22pm |
I guess I stand corrected. Freddie did do some solo work. But if I wasn't aware of it, how significant could it be? Posted by Mike on Thursday, 05/28/2020 @ 12:37pm |
It's not really significant enough to merit a solo induction. It's most likely been forgotten about. The album Mr. Bad Guy is a fun listen though. Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 05/28/2020 @ 13:13pm |
Freddie Mercury deserves to be inducted in the rock n roll hall of fame on his own merit . He's regarded as one of the best and should be recognized Posted by Nina on Sunday, 03/27/2022 @ 21:22pm |
