Poll: Who is the best song writer of Queen?

Oh Great. Now the poll-infection has spread to the General Discussion section.

Paul Rodgers, of course!  ;)

It was about time to settle this matter once and for all. Oh, what would we do without these polls?

They are all great.

John Deacon.

I hope ur kidin

I personally like Brian's songs the most. Don't care for Roger's... John's are all pretty good. Freddie's are pretty good too. (In fact some are pretty awesome)

I I chose Freddie, but that's because my favorite song is Play The Game. But Brian is the best hard rock/metal song writer (Hammer To Fall, Tear It Up, Put Out The Fire, Headlong, I Want It All), and writes great ballads, but then again, Freddie can come up with things like Was It All Worth It, Princes Of The Universe, Ogre Battle, and The Hitman (which Hitman might be more of a metal song than any of Brian's!) plus all the ballads he's written. John wrote some funky stuff (Back Chat) and some great ballads (You're My Best Friend) and some nice mainstream rock tracks (I Want To Break Free), and Roger was always a great mainstream rock (Calling All Girls), pop/rock (Radio GaGa), and rock (I'm In Love With My Car) writer.

Favorite John song -
Another One Bites The Dust

Favorite Freddie song -
Play The Game

Favorite Brian May song -
Hammer To Fall

Favorite Roger Taylor song -
A Kind Of Magic

I think this answers your question :P

Freddie Mercury.

For me it varied by album and over time ... so I did not vote

Freddie was by far the best songwriter in the band. His input into the other's songs would have been massive, we know of stories with Freddie taking the other members songs and changing them.
