Now that I have pretty good handle on Queen catalog it's crazy, but I think Brian May might be my favorite song writer out of these four. In the past I always thought that Freddie wrote all these songs. Even Queen fans seem to lack respect for May's songwriting
Brian is the most consistent writer of the four....I've always broken it down like this:
Freddie: The genius. The most out there, artistic, brilliants songs are his. BUT with his out there genius sometimes comes a little overwroughtness. I always like Brian's songs..almost every single one. But the most brilliant artistic songs are almost always Freddie. Freddie was kind of the Lennon to Brian's McCartney. Freddie is the genius, Brian's got the hooks.
F - Bo Rap, March of the Black Queen, Was It All Worth It, The Miracle, Somebody To Love, Lap of the Gods, Ogre Battle, Seven Seas, It's A Hard Life, Get Down Make Love
Brian: The most consistent. He always writes a good song. They don't stray far from his vision....either a straight ahead rock song, or a straight ahead ballad but they are always good. Sometimes a bit Schmaltzy, but always the best power ballads
B - Save Me, WHo Wants To Live Forever, We Will Rock You, Fat Bottomed Girls, Show Must Go On, White Queen, Hammer To Fall
John: Didn't write much but could write the perfect pop song. Not going to stretch the imagination too much, but what he does he does well.
J - AOBTD, Break Free, Spread Your Wings, You're My Best Friend
Roger: He used to be the strangest...most new wave, most raw songwriter...he got a pop sensibility and his songs are similar to each other, but they seemed to get better with age....
R - Radio Ga Ga, AKOM, Days Of Our Lives, Tenement Funster, Drowse, Rock It, etc.
