Who's the better singer?

Be honest.

Freddy Mercury has a much greater vocal range.

What he said. There's no way Sinatra could have sang opera, rock, and those queen balads...

Quality not quantity.

Niggah please, the likes of Barcelona and Under Pressure are high quality.

I've only really heard New York, New York, My Way and It Was A Very Good Year from Sinatra, but I've heard a lot more from Mercury. So given this limited knowledge of Sinatra, I would say Mercury had the wider range and was so the better singer. But, then again, I'm taking some of his most well-known songs as a comparison, so...
Influence, or impact is a different matter to singing ability. The Rat Pack was class

What an odd comparison.

Yi started it

I'd like to have heard Mercury tackle My Way, All of Me, An Awful Lot of Coffee in Brazil, A Very Good Year etc and see how he fares, but Mercury was also a fine singer. As Kurgan said, the influence and impact of Sinatra cannot be underestimated.

TBH It's a tie by default since they're both dead.
