Bob Dylan going electric. Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Michael Jackson’s Moonwalk. Queen at Live Aid. Elvis Presley singing Hound Dog and gyrating his hips. Beethoven debuting his 9th Symphony. Nirvana on MTV Unplugged. All of these are influential moments in music history. Without moments like the Sugarhill Gang reaching the Top 40, we never would have had rappers like Kendrick Lamar or the Notorious B.I.G. Without Madonna performing Like a Virgin on the MTV Awards, we never would have had Britney Spears singing Baby One More Time. Music legends like Johnny Cash, The Who, Freddie Mercury and more mad moments that shaped music history, and changed modern music forever. WatchMojo is picking the most important moments in music history; check it out to see if your favorite music moments made the list!

Did anything as important as these events happen since 2016 that we should remake this list? Let us know by going on MyMojo! www.watchmojo.com/suggest
Amy Winehouse
Beethoven’s 9th is something that is written in history books in multiple countries. So that should be the top. I love classic rock but seriously you going to put Beethoven below Cash, Hendrix, and Nirvana??????
Jonathan Bennett there has been some recent evidence that he might have invented a bone conduction speaker so he could 'feel' the music while composing. That symphony is amazing!!
Billy Joel's 100th msg show!
Placebos mtv unplugged in 2015
Beethoven: Shit I can't hear.
Also Beethoven: Hold my beer.
True.
No Mozart?
me: that rhymes
Rappers Eminem is too afraid to diss
how about Bach?
A guy writes an entire orchestrated symphony while DEAF and it's #9 on the list..... Okay.
poetnk pop culture for you
Which I do agree with you it should have been #2, but when it comes to the Beatles, they will always be #1
Tommye Bunn Yes they will always be #1
poetnk not really in the same category ate, stop whining
Tommye Bunn Why? How are the Beatles more important than say J.S. Bach, who literally solidified tonal harmony in the history of Western music? This tonal system that Bach advanced and perfected is what almost all pop music is based on, including the Beatles. Without Bach, it’s doubtful if the Beatles could have ever created their music. What have the Beatles in comparison ever advanced in music theory? I know you may love the Beatles but that is no grounds for evaluating their musical importance.
Beethoven: writes ninth symphony
Watch mojo: Nirvana on MTV is more iconic
99% of WatchMojo's videos need to be re-written.
DEAF......don't forget deaf😤😂
BeastBoxGaming that’s not true at al. The number of people who know Beethoven is far greater than nirvana.
Cos most people couldn't give a fuck about some dusty pianist
@@mattwroe4776 Ok braindead dumbass
Imagine watching The Beatles that day in person.
Are you trying to make us sad
Wasn't their breakthrough, just their arrival in the US. Doesn't compare to the importance of their breakthrough concert back in England, nor to most of the never-filmed events that Watchmojo can't show, like the invention of the modern musical scale in Bach's lifetime, the first independent music star in western culture (maybe Mozart) or the invention of the guitar.
Right how cute where they!!!!
Imagine being at MTV unplugged with nirvana
@@tylerthecreator8573 you typed that as I’m listening to “the man who sold the world”
To list Queen at Live Aid and not even show a 8-second clip of Freddie's 'ay-oh' moment is a crime.
Agreed 100%
Yep!
@Jean D Could you do it?
Narcoleptic Cow Productions Haha well said
Amen to that
You ain't born in the wrong generation you just like old music
slam the dude but i would have much rather been born then than now.
judy walter yeah, but we are the ones who carry on the torches from the past generation. Without us, the others with us will not open their eyes to what the former music was
Nick Hall i guess but still
IKR, plus we are very lucky to have Internet and whatsoever that we can easily access these kinds of music without spending much time and money, back in the day you to really have a good patience and money just to buy an Album.
Tristan yea but u needa work hard inorder to get something that u want. Nothing is easy really
Beethoven should be higher, most everyone was literally too afraid to write a symphony after that for a long time
John Kiunke ahh I see you have Mozart in your pfp from Amadeus.
Because no one cared
And he was deaf
I’m not sure they are in an order though
@@garyenkwong1683 They are in an order
2:28 for a moment I shocked that how did they managed to get that quality in 1824
tf dude
live in HD
@@reedotk3647 boo hoo
Lol
Bruh moment X3
Beethoven literally composed the parts of 20+ instruments to work together in one piece that’s still today considered the greatest piece of musical Melody in history, WHILE HE WAS DEAF!!! Most people can’t even rhyme
EidanMA most of Beethoven’s greatest songs/compositions where before 1801 where he still had %40 of his hearing and was age 31. It wasn’t until 1816 he was completely deaf and age 46. People have a misconception of him and believe he was deaf from a child, he was 26 when he started loosing his hearing.
What he DEAF no way?
@@faronwatts4048, you're right about when he actually went deaf, but the ninth composed between 1822 and 1824, when he was deaf.
Jesse Watts I was referring directly to the 9th which was composed after he was fully deaf; however, I do appreciate the extra information tho
EidanMA he was a true music genius
1: *Marty McFly/Kalvin Klein invented Rock N Roll in the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance in 1955*
No need to mate, I'm just in this video to spread awareness and well that..
*You also invented classic westerns and that trick Eastwood pulled off in a Fistful of Dollars"!*
Wait is this Micheal J Fox
Marty McFly not to be dramatic or anything, but I love you.
Marty McFly yea my grandmother almost was arrested for towing us behind the car on skateboards in Gettysburg national park, great influence lol
Rock n roll actually started in 1951 with the song "Rocket 88" by Jackie Brenston And His Delta Cats. But it's elements go back as far as the 1800s with the blues.
NEVERMIND IT WAS BTTF
The Last Play At Shea 2008 where Paul McCartney came around just in time for the last song.
Elly let it beeee,let it beeee,let it bee,oh let it be
I think Pink Floyd's performance of "The Wall" when the Berlin Wall was destroyed should have been on the list!
All we germans remember is David Hasselhoff performing "Looking for freedom".
Many germans even don't now Pink Floyd, but most of them remember The Hoff,
because his voice alone let the wall stumblin' in :-D
Oh well i thought the best ever was when spongebob and the band was singing sweet victory, It was lit
Yee fam
Or when he sang goofy goober in the spongbob movie
That was pure bullshit
That's probably one of my favorite episodes and it was well done, especially the fact that this generation can know the song by heart because of it!
Same yo, same #disapointed #watchmojoisflawed
I'm happy The Beatles were at number 1. My dad passed away 10 years ago, and was a massive Beatles fan. Fond memories of growing up listening to them because of him.
Sorry to hear about your loss.
@@user-rx1qz6cn7l Thank you.
@@user-rx1qz6cn7l my dad was fond of 50 cent and so I grew up listening to him and also Trey Songz growing up so this has no impact on me really
If the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show wasn’t on here I’d probably riot
Same bro

what about when Marvin Berry phoned his cousin, Chuck, to let him listen to some kid playing guitar at a highschool dance?... I'd say that was a pretty important moment!
Right!?
Guess the comment section wasn't ready for this one, but their kids are gonna love it.
Love it! I'd also add the revelation that God gave rock n' roll to us.........
Jesus this comment wins so hard. So. Hard.
Yeah thats heavy man
It's really weird how Elvis was considered the most badass rebel in America because he... danced.
Thanks, 50's!
#justfootloosethings
America kinda had a gigantic stick up its ass until the late 60s.
That pelvis :)
Stole those moves and songs from blacks too
or the fact he took that whole style from the great Chuck B
2019 summer.
Bohemian rhapsody hit 1B views
naah... guess gagnam style is much more worthy to be mentioned...
@@giorgosgeorgopoulos7666 it was the first video on RUclips to hit 1 billion views so yes it does deserve to be mentioned
@@gusstabithcyou actually compare the importance of the symphony with gagnam style... ok it did something but it has minor importance... it's still just a stupid song who no one will remember in a few years... popularity in just a specific time period with no influence means nothing to history
Lol!! When I first read your comment I mistook the 'b' in billion for an '8'. I thought you were saying that it hit '18' views. I was thinking 'oh...yeah...awesome'. :D
Oh didn't know that bohemia Rhapsody hit 1B views too this summer
“Ladies and gentlemen, I give you….The Beatles!” Most significant phrase in music history. 60 years later, they’re still loved, their music is still played and they’re bring rediscovered by new listeners. Who will know most of these others in 10 years, let alone 60?
My father went accidentally to live AID on 1985. He wanted to see LED zeppelin reunite and he saw Freddie’s performance too
"accidentally"
I don’t even know how he did that but I don’t even care
they felt they would get thrashed if they didnt include one of today's non-transcendental "artists". They backfired
man, led zeppelin sucked at live aid. all because of Baunums death.
My great grandpa was in his teens and he went and saw Freddie, I'm not even lying.
Queen at Live Aid, was called "The greatest rock performance of the 20th century", and it was. i was there. It was untouchable.
you are a blessed guy
If I could go back in time that would be one of the highlights of modern music...So amazing
Overblown pompous pop schlock. I was at Live Aid and went for a piss when Queen were on. Best piss ever had.
it seems you have no sense of occasion :)
try telling that to malcolm mackem then
Queen at Live Aid in #5
BLASPHEMY ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL
It should be higher imo
They left out Berry Gordy finding Motown
IT SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE
They're overrated
@@pranabkumardas8628 you. Did. Not.
For me, Paul Simon's 1987 Graceland concert in Zimbabwe is a supreme moment in music history. Mesmerizing and inspiring.
I was born in the right generation because I can listen to all this great songs at the click of a button.
you know i'm glad to see a fellow human being who thinks exactly as i do, i wanna tell other gens that, to show them that there entire tel and music life is just a click away.
amen
Damn. You are right. I used to think I was born in the wrong generation because I just cant enjoy modern music (pop music) that is. But I never thought about having the technology in our generation to be able to still enjoy all of the great music of the world regardless of age and genre. You sir taught me something. Thank you.
Clicking on a video does not give you back the real vibes and the the vision of those days.
True. I live in the Middle East, and if I was alive 40-30 years ago, I would have never been able to listen to this great music and I would have never been exposed to it. Actually, I only discovered true Rock and Roll when I was 20 years old because of RUclips. I never listened to this music on mainstream Arabic radios or music channels. Its only possible now because of RUclips and the development in Internet
"I was born in the wrong generation" - every comment on watchmojo's videos about music.
Honestly I wish my generation (millennial) could just appreciate all the music we have. There's so much good shit from every year.
bruh fr but aye you got that pusha t profile pic thats wassup
+Hunter Marsh So damn true..I like music from the past but today we have many great artists and more music sub genres that generate great music.
I'm a fetus and I listen to ww2 radio signals. I wish this generation would appreciate my taste in music
I'm a 13 year old girl and I'm the only one who really appreciates good music.
Queen preforms at Live Aid. Legendary
Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. Legendary
How Michael Jackson walking backwards is somehow more important than Beethoven writing one of the best symphonies of all time while deaf, I will never understand
yeah beethoven should probably be number 1 lol
1. Forrest Gump giving Elvis tips on his dancing, ultimately propelling his popularity
Dylan Jakins Wasn't it elvis teaching forrest ?
I had the same thought with you bro!
@@brandonayong7656 No...it was Forest dancing and showing Elvis how to move his legs...ruclips.net/video/dJslCsekjIg/видео.html
Lmao.
Dylan Jakins trouble
Just imagine your walk is also a important moment in music history.
MJ ❤
The "moonwalk," doesn't have ANYTHING to do with music! It's just a dance move.
@@jonathanedwards8696 Dancing derives from music
@@samwell2386 But it is a completely different art form.
@@jonathanedwards8696 true but its the reason his music album (thriller )sold way too much
Charlie Chaplin invented the moon walk. Check out the videos.
Nothing in music is more deeply etched in my heart and soul, as early Beatles.
SERIOUSLY?? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
You're saying that Nirvana on MTV is ahead of BEETHOVEN PREMIRING THE 9TH SYMPHONY?!?!?!?!
The moment you put ANYONE that is not BACH or MOZART ahead of Beethoven, doesn't make any sense!!!
Someone's triggered.
Why so much hate? classical artists would probably be rock stars if that existed in their time
YES
No way to really say any of these moments are definitively better than the other it's all relative
Just theoretically, Beethoven's music was heard (at the time) by maybe a few thousand people. Maybe a few dozens of thousands of people heard of his music at the time. At the same time, all of the music that was rated hire then him was either heard by millions upon millions of people or heard of by hundreds of millions of people.
I'm a simple man; I see Freddie Mercury, I click
Judson Buckner I was thinking the same thing man!! He’s a absolute legend. No one could ever fill his shoes.
And I'm a simple woman. I see Freddie Mercury----> I click :D
Judson Buckner i thought the sameee thingg
Same Here!
i confess
Jimi Hendrix’s music will live on for ever, not only just as the introduction of another music style, harder rock but also soooo much beautiful music!🤟❤️ You will live on forever
What about the day Paul McCartney and John Lennon met?
I'm a simple man, I see Freddie I click
That performance of "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson is one of my top 5 anywhere or anytime. Gripping.
The Best!? It’s their personal opinion.
It wasn’t even live you idiot 😂
There's a difference between performance and music. Take the dance away and MJ was just another mediocre singer.
@@jonathanedwards8696 ummm...no
Jonathan Edwards thriller tho
I think that Queen's Live Aid performance is the greatest performance In history
Yeah it should be WAAAAY WAAAY up on the list
Will Buttle yes the greatest but not the most culturally impactful like the Fab 4 finally coming to the US
@@happymonky0079 Well it was quite impactful. Live aid of it self was the greatest.
Yep, Beatles 73 million, Queen 1.9 Billion. The most watched performance of all time.
Couldn't agree more!!!
12:56 I can't. Ringo is too cute lmao
Queen at number 5. You’ve got to be kidding me. 27 minutes of pure genius music
I mean yeah ofc I'd rather live AID be number one, but looking at everything else, The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show was just more important. Without that performance, the Superbowl halftime show wouldn't be a thing, grammy performances even concerts wouldn't be what they are now
@@mikejason5621 well Super Bowl halftime show takes too long with middle aged women grabbing themselves by the pussy. Yeah real important stuff there. Grammys have been putting on shows since 1959. Happened before Beatles.
no kidding
Queen new fan is so Toxic.
@@elang7961 they watch queen movies and thought they are best band and know everything about music
Hendrix doing the National Anthem, using the intricate sounds of his guitar to express and capture the pain and anguish of the war and what was going on in America, is one of the most beautiful and important moments ever. Gives me chills.
"...What was going on in the United States" don't you dare to talk for all the Americans, wich are many more than all the U.S. citizens.
@@jorgeluisrimbaud4945 1. I have no idea what the hell you are trying to say. 2. Your name makes me think you are not american.

Come on, Beethoven wrote the 9th all in his head.
The man was deaf at the time but knew exactly what each and every note would sound like. And he wrote it for a full orchestra at that. If that doesn't grant you number one of ALL TIME, then there is no sense in even doing these lists. Not to mention that it is awesome to boot.
I will grant you the Queen and Freddie spots. And the Beetles did change the face of rock.
And Hendricks? The MASTER OF THE STRATOCASTER.
Elvis? Well hell son. He kicked in the door and all the rest followed.
Tough to argue against that my friend.
Good point. I agree with your Beethoven comment. Everything else is subjective to each individual. It's like the saying, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I'm sure my tastes are different from yours but we can agree that it moves us powerfully. And that's why influence is seen in so many artists, songs, dance moves, and endless compositions.
The only problem of the 9th is that it is hell to sing... Waay to high for comfort...
Lol just because Elvis popularized something doesnt mean he started it. Rock N Roll started in black communities, evolving from guitar heavy blues. Elvis and the Beatles did not start it.
#GodMode
I absolutely love that Nirvana Unplugged was ahead of Beethoven’s 9th. For real though, that unplugged album changed my life, it was filmed on my 10th Birthday, and I play that album still to this day. Best acoustic album of all time
Bro first of all, november 18th. We have the same birthday. But from a nirvana super fan to another, do you really think it should be above beethoven orchestrating a whole symphony deaf?
Micheal jackson moonwalking is the most important moment in all of human history
i’d probably say the end of the holocaust is more important but you do you
No... The Beatles' British Invasion is the most important in pop music history because it ended the classical era.
Just thought of another one... Aretha Franklin stepping in at the last minute for Pavarotti and performing Nessun Dorma at the Grammys. An amazing performance, with no rehearsal. She showed why she was considered the Queen of Soul, even singing opera... a true professional and a legend.
Yes!!! They have to do another pne
that was a disaster and should have never happened.
He said:
"Ladies and gentleman, The Beatles"
But there were only ladies XD
I'm sure somebody's dad brought them to the show 😆
There were also boys watching it on television.
He meant the cameramen... he didn't want them to miss their cue.
And all the panties dropped!
I can’t get my over how I can literally hear Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry in the Beatles singing style here.
Best part of this vid is the way the narrater said “number 5”. (And Freddie Mercury’s tribute concert - that is hella underrated).
One could argue that the most important MOMENT in music history was the day when John Lennon and Paul McCartney met.
Truly a blessing that all 4 of those lads met up. I personally think that they are the best band in existence
Dont leave queen out
Shanthi Thomas in reality, Queen probably wasn’t a top 5 band all time, at least in popularity. If I had to guess it would go
1. The Beatles
2. The Rolling Stones
3. Led Zeppelin
4. Pink Floyd
5. The Who/ the Beach Boys
@@ryan183 Queen definitely were a top five band, though not as great as the beatles. They were definitely better than the who or the rolling stones
Yeet Man I said popular not good. The stones, Beatles and Led Zeppelin have the top 3 solidified. The only place to put Queen would be 5. They’re an amazing group but weren’t as popular back in the day.
Great job putting the Beatles at #1 like they should be
They're overrated
Jose Garcia think before you speak

@@idekanymore6986 Just remember to always think twice
@@idekanymore6986 Bruh you’re drunk. Go home
This should be " Betting Without The Beatles" as it's obvious their extraordinary influence changed the World and not just musically either. 400 wonderful songs. Many for other Artists. "Yesterday" breaking the World Record by being recorded by TWO THOUSAND,TWO HUNDRED different Artists. They had,simultaneously, The Top 5 in Te Billboard Chart which will never be emulated. They changed Fashion,Photography and much else bridging the gap between The USA and Britain and Europe. They sold more records than anyone else.Their songs were, mostly, different from each other and they had 3 musical genius's in the same Band....so it should have been "BEST OF THE REST" lol
when Freddie Mercury tells you "do it" you do it. you just do it.
That could end badly
The only man ill listen to the command "Do it" to is Darth Sidious
I agree with J Wesselink on that one, but I still loved Freddie Mercury.
Do it! Just do it!
Yep. *It's what you do,* y'all. ;)
I think everyone knew The Beatles performing at the Ed Sullivan Show would be no. 1
Beatles will always be my favorite band
Where the hell is Bob Marley. The man made rival political leaders shake hands.
He also performed shortly after he got shot
he's dead...
Why is queen so low
In the grand story that is Jamaican music, Bob Marley is but an insect next to Prince Buster.

I'm so obsessed with him since I watched Bohemian Rhapsodi
Loved it QUEEN💕
Thank you for including Beethoven!! Sincerely, a faithful classical music lover
Freddie was/is a rock God. He was the master.
If there is a guide book somewhere titled ''How to be the best frontman ever, in a rock band'' he wrote it.
Of course!
I get chills hearing his voice and Queen was the greatest
MAMAAAAAAAAAA
Was AIDS
Just missing one thing and that was the debut of punk rock. Ramones "It's Alive" or the Stooges live, the Sex Pistols or the Damned first single New Rose or something, punk rock is such an important milestone in music.
I was waiting for Michael Jackson 😂❤️

When mj did the moon walk i actually got chills. Don't know why but I did
My wife and I had the same reaction.
My heart was pumping like hell in anticipation
yea thats some good music right there
I still think the best part of that Motown 25 show was when the Temptations and the Four Tops did their battle. THAT was the quintessence of Motown.
dont you mean erection ???
I feel like Bowie killing off Ziggy Stardust was a pretty big one, too, considering the amount of people mourning the character and considering his future musical career after that tour.
so true
That's what I came here hoping to see
I still don't get why he did it, I wouldn't have thought that people's words could've harmed him
I think it was mainly to due with wanting to do other things and not wanting to be stagnant.
EXACLATY SOMEONE SAID IT THANK YOU
1) Beethoven Introduces 9th Symphony
2) Jimmy at Woodstock
3) MJ's Moonwalk (personal favourite)
4) Queen at Live Aid
5) Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show
6) Elvis on The Milton Birle Show
It is best and most accurate watchmojo video
Good lord. Gagnam Style might be an honorable mention for most important moments in music video history, but music history???
valid point 👍
As much as i hate Gangnam Style and wondered what's all the fuss with people going crazy over that when it's launched. It's actually (sadly) part of music history too (to an extend).
Because music video history is part of music history at this era of modern music industry and internet.
The use of internet viral marketing and influence is what make some of the artist of current genereration bloom...
Sadly. I also fall for the viral when Gangnam Style launched, curiousity get the best of me too see what's all with the fuss... It's good for the laughs when i saw them, but as far as the music itself... meeh.
But I do fall and help the viral by viewing and talking it...
We can Thanks (I'd rather blame) Psy and Gangnam Style for making Bieber, Despacito, and some other viral artist bloomer what it is, and as big as now...
Lo Pan style was better; sends Gagnam Style to a Hell where are skinned alive!
It changed the behaviour to virus songs tho, its important whether we like it or not
Viral music propagation goes back a very long time. Just look at the early Beatles popularity in the US. One Ed Sullivan show and they go from nobodies to the top in a matter of weeks.
I don't think Psy "changed music" so much as he did what many, many artists have done over the years...utilized the technological zeitgeist (much like artists of the eighties used MTV and music videos) to produce a single popular song. Being another video based, one hit wonder is nothing new or special.
When i saw freddie mercury I clicked immediately

Who’s here after Bohemian Rhapsody made history and reached 1 billion?
Not really history buddy
@Ryan Akwar he thinks it was the first music video to reach 1 billion views on youtube because gAnGnAm StYlE iSnT rEaL mUsIc
I always considered 'Bohemian Rhapsody' to be the first actual music video.
You do know that November Rain reached that mark well before BoRap right?
@@atharvaugale157 Bohemian Rhapsody is the OLDEST music video to hit 1B views. Even tho November Rain hit 1B before Bohemian Rhapsody, it is a 90s song, Bohemian Rhapsody is a 70s song so it’s older
i thought the Beatles won't be mention, im ready to smash my monitor if theyre arent.
Good to see Johnny cash he's rarely mentioned nowadays
Cash is probably a piece of american history and/or culture. Nevertheless this amazing artist I discovered lately is fairly unknown and somehow no that important in "music history" as mentioned. Dylan also was a wonderful artist and his heritage and influence on pop/rock music is amazing. But I wouldn't say he has been more important to "music history" than Mozart, Bob Marley, US for Africa, Pierre Henry (first electronic music artist ever) and certainly a hundred more artist I don't know about (and I want to discover). But Mojo made their pick ;-)
Good to see Johnny Cash being recognized as he paved the way for so many future generations....and that truly was a great performance and controversial in many ways so it deserves a spot here!!
Yeah, man. My drum teacher played with Cash for a while.
@@hollow_dustboot Yeah, then he wasted it all on hookers and blow. Now he's broke.
@@ericalexander3246 nah. No clue why you have to be so nasty, bro. At least show some maturity. Anyways, he's retired now and he's teaching on the side because he enjoys helping people. Chill out, my guy.

That pretty much marked the end for them. On Sullivan, they reached a whole new audience and paved the way for other British acts to make it in the States.
Jefferson Airplane on the roof top in new York!!!!

Kyrie Eleison thinkin the same thing
Anything the Beatles did
I'm a simple person. I see Freddie on the thumbnail. I click
I knew the motown 25 performance would be on here. iconic
Yeah but place 6?? Wtf watch homo dot com
You put Gangnam Style in the same video as Queen, Johnny cash, and literally everything else here? You are sickening
And Beethoven……
settle down.
Disgrace.
Amen
It was the first to ever do so, thats why
lol who else came here just to see Freddie?
I actually was hoping Queen at Live Aid was number 1.
It should have been #1
Meeeeeeeeeeee
Me
I knew the Beatles would be number#1. And deservedly so
Young Elvis used to perform in a 5 start hotel in New York when his career was about to get started and my dad used to work there. He got pretty closed to young Elvis since he always joined the table during my dad's dinner brake. My dad got a few picture with him since he always had a couple photographers from the hotel following him around and my dad proudly hang it on the bedroom wall. It's always the first thing that I want to show off
I always see American ignoring bob Dylan where Bob is the real singer of America who made famous the American folk song throughout the world ...... I always see queen, Johnny cash, Beatles, where as Bob Dylan is the one who truly cared about music and lyrics
1: Freddie Mercury is born
AGREED
So tell me more how was the movie and sudennly you became queen nr1 fan. Freddy will not take the greatest artists alone. Elvis is there boy he just did not have an ipactfull movie of him that opens your blind eye and see past todays shitty music industry.
@@mattheil6028 and tell me more how you personally the original poster of the comment to be so confident to say he/she "suddenly became a fan after seeing the movie"...
@@mattheil6028 This is just absurd. everyone is a no.1 fan of Freddy
@Irfan Spirtovic That comparison makes no sense and is irrelevant.
All these people have one thing in common: they’re different. They went against the grain and shuffled things up. All well deserved.
Declan moore not really, it was the first video to hit 1 billion views and literally broke RUclipss view counter, also it popularized kpop and other foreign music.
Not to mention, those people all had TRUE talent back then!!
All these people have on thing in common : a penis

Goes from a hip hop song reaches 36th to one of the best symphonies of all time 10/10
Nothing will ever beat these legends! 😍💚
Queen's performances will always rank #1 for me.
Shocked the Day the music died is not here
Soda King it is
Ditto.

Where The Doors at? You forget about JIM MORRISON being arrested mid-concert! Revolutionary moment without question!
You'd have to choose which concert he was arrested
straight up, i fucking love the doors!
The Doors come up less & less over time. Are they...dated??
@@behelith lol
Agree. Not enough slots for all history of the greatest musical genious of all time there are too many
The Beatles deserve the no. One spot. I love em
i bet Bono and a few others regret the day they shared the stage with Freddie, none of then commanded the stage as he did, he showed them how it was done.
Bach, starting the entire western music legacy : Am I a joke to you ?
🤣😂
