Both Queen and Elton, like them or not, but as soon as a song plays you know most of the words for some reason. Same as Bowie, same as Elvis etc etc
I know this might make me very unpopular with some people, but I thought Elvis was the least talented of the bunch. Some 'nice' songs, but talent, no. Freddie great vocals and a showman as you said. Elton was one of few musicians actually gifted with the talent from birth - there was a great scene where he could replicate what his tutor had played with no practise, but once she stopped, he stopped. Bowie was just a legend well before his time.
