The article says that bassist Andy Fraser is born July 3, 1952 while the article for Andy Fraser says August 7, 1952.


There's a fair bit of good material in the individual album articles, regarding the history of the band etcetera, that could usefully be incorporated into this article. I'll try to do it myself, when Wiki is working a bit more quickly, unless someone else gets around to it first. R Lowry 15:13, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stature of Free

I'm removing this sentence from the article

Free are considered to be one of the major rock bands of the seventies along with other luminaries such as The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.

Obviously something like this isn't verifiable. But insofar as it might be, it doesn't seem to hold up. You can find lots of "top x" lists by Googling for "rock bands of all time"; the Stones and Led Zeppelin crop up over and over again, while I've yet to find one mention of Free. Free is not a minor band, but it's misleading to suggest they are shoulder to shoulder in profile with the two giants mentioned here. Maybe there are other bands of roughly equal stature that could take their places here? — ciphergoth 11:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Kossoff article

I have just done a quick tidy-up of the Paul Kossoff article, but it could use a bit more. Any helpers? Design 11:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
